Is it fine if I include these objects from my other Sporecast (called Vector Graphics)?

Yes, these look great! Very original idea, good luck.

Thanks, MaxisCactus!

I am already making new kinds of parts, and find the Spaceship editor to be excellent for these things, and will also use the Building Editor as well. I will adjust the older designs to match the neon green colors of the original environment for this contest. It literally takes your captain into a world that was once the pinnacle in the early 1980's, before sprites existed. A all-black planet would be perfect for this world, as Battlezone did not have a colored floor but used the VG objects as terrain and things you saw in it.

I'll join anyone's team. Are there any currently open?

I'm making something like Atlantis theme Basically the dark Ocean =]

oooOOOoooh my, how enticing! I might have to get in on this soon... **Bookmarks it **

I would join, but I'm not very good.

But how in Spore do I obtain a direct link to one of my sporecasts? I've tried everything I can think of, and just can't seem to get a direct link (just links to either my sporepedia page, or a page with my collection of multiple sporecasts, but not a link that is to one individual, specific sporecast).

Thanks in advance for your help on this one.

I think it works by going to the sporepedia and then clicking on the particular sporecast. Going to a sporecast through your profile page doesn't seem to work for some reason.


Very cool challenge MC. I've actually already been working on two settings like this already!

Well I've been working on stuff for a few very specific GA Missions... Hmm, with all I've learned over my little time on the Sporum I shall attempt to enter this contest. I'm not exactly sure what I'll come up with, but it should be atleast semi-decent enough to lose respectfully!

*May join a Team, not too sure yet, I'll try on my own at first but may sign up for teammage later.

Sounds interesting as to try another... I have this one, made to represent the non-euclidian, distorted... wrong angled chaos that is R'lyeh... The sunken city from Lovecraft's tales. But I feel like going Bosco for a next one... Or Arcimboldo, that could be fun.

My demo pic...

Yeah, I haven´t such a cool Demo Pic as Virakotxa, but I think if you search for mcsurrealchallenge and Mystfan, you´ll find my Sporecast. Maybe it´s not Feature worthy, however I´ll use it^^

Melting clocks anyone?

if someone could tell me if i did everything right that would be great cause i wasn't exactly clear on what was needed to enter. plus did i enter something that fits in this contest's catorgy cause i didn't know if i entered a corrected theme. (i wasn't really sure on anything :lol

I've added a FAQ item to the opening post that addresses having creatures in your Sporecast. I suggest that you check this out and revise your entry, you've got a good start.

ok i have fixed it and think i understand this contest a bit better than before so here is my first entry

Sweet, I think I might be good enough to have a chance at this. I'll start creating right now!

Do they have to be functional in GA? What I mean is no one really knows quite what the proportions are going to be for building toe creature in the final product(at least from what I've read and I've read a lot!) so what if I make a doorway or pathway to small?....I guess I'm just over thinking it I don't even have my first one done

Haha don't worry about that, dude. I had the same thought process... Just get the models made and if they don't work in GA, tweak them a bit, delete the originals from the server, and upload the new ones
