idk about that country restriction

i will post my story here sinceI got really far with it

SPORE....


so sad

Been working hard to try to get this all completed in time--capturing the appropriate images, and composing all of the 'scenes' in PS, is taking longer than I had originally anticipated. So far I have story boards completed through Act 5 of a 7 Act Mission, and should be able to finish up the rest tomorrow. All of the component creations/props have been gathered together and sporecasted also.

I had hoped to see others share some of their work on this thread... but so far it seems everyone is being a bit secretive. Maybe after the deadline is passed, and there is less threat of 'copy cats'? Any ways, I've decided to go ahead and share a little bit of a sampling of what I've been working on (since a lot of people have already seen the sporecast or at least several of the creations related to this GA). Here is a sneak peak of some of the images from the 'Evynwire Scroll Quest' GA story board...

nice work kraken, and i wouldnt be so "secretive" if my storyboard were in digital format at the moment, i decided that my mad skillz wit MS paint werent good enough so i went the hand-drawn route and am currently working on the last 4 frames of the storyboard

PS: prog1thefencer, thanks for suggesting comiclife, perfect for stuff like this

Dang, I'm starting late. Thank goodness I'm good at coming up with stories on the spot. Already got the outline done, now I just need to make the story boards. Do I think I'll win? Well, I hope I will, but it's not a very long mission, so I don't know how well it will stand up against the possible "epics" it will be facing. So I'll use the nest strategy of mine and... wait... wrong epic.

Do I need a list of creations that should be used in the mission? Because I may be good at coming up with stories rather quickly, but my skills with the creators is somewhat questionable.

That's an amazing-looking storyboard! I could say it's way better then my submission, but that would be self-degrading. Besides, were all in this together, right? (I'm presuming all the diologs and stuff's on the bottom, correct?) I'm thinking of posting mine up here tommorow, that way MaxisManatee(is there such a user?) will have my submission by the time it's posted, thus eliminating the chance for stolen work. Mine looks somewhat like something you would see out of MS Paint, but what it lacks in "scenic lighting" and "overwhelming backdrops", it makes up with charm and wit! Or, at least I hope it does.

can someone pleas help me? out do i get my spore(creatures, vehicles, buildings) on to the comic maker thing?

This looks awesome! Can't wait to see the ideas of other players ^^

There is a button near the bottom of the page that allows you to import sporepedia images from off of your pc files into the comics program. Unfortunately, I found that if/when you resize those images, they tend to pix & blur badly (not to mention you only get the image from one angle). If there is another/different way to add customized images of your creations using that program, I totally missed it. So I ended up just photoshopping together my own image captures of my Spore creations.

Yes. I blanked out that info/text before sharing, as I didn't want to give too much away in advance. LOL.

Phew! Finally got everything completed, and my entry has been submitted to Maxis. That was a lot more work that I thought it was going to be! But I am rather pleased with the end results. It makes me really look forward to the release of GA... as when I put together some of my creations into the appropriate environs, it began to look like a very fun planet to explore. And I can't wait to see just what all we can do (in terms of new features and ability to fine tune), and how far we will be able to push the limits of the new programs.

Can't wait to see what everyone else has come up with!

wow only 2 days till deadline better start drawing like mad!

Trust me you can finish. I've gotten mine done in about *looks at date* two or so days. I'm debating on sending now or on Monday. I'd rather have it done with so I'm leaning toward today.

A few questions:

Can I use content created by other users. There's a lot of creatures that would be perfect in my story but if I can't use them, I'd just have to do a stick figure sort of thing for much of it.

At one point I'll essentially save a princess (cliche much?). After finding her, can she follow me, do I have to follow her, can she run, can she grab on to the captain and they could both fly away via jetpack or something, and could a give her an item that ends up teleporting only her to a safe place?

Can I establish a time limit for an entire adventure as well as certain parts of the adventure?

Can I ride in and on top of vehicles? (at one point i plan to take a train to a destination and then jump out/off)

Thanks for any advice.

Finished! got the e-mail sent and everything, but im not gonna post images yet 'cause im secretive and paranoid of other people stealing my awesome work

I have finished my first page.

EDIT: I now have my second page.

Well, I guess since I said "tommorow", I should probably do it.

Behold; "Operation: Frostbite", a journey into an unforgiving icicle of a planet with squiggly scenery & even squigglier characters!

Like I(sorta) said before; What it lacks in high-definition graphics, it makes up with decent storytellings and background humor!

Now I'm waiting to see what wonderful-looking storyboard krakenmk has in store...

lol @ the stickfigure adventures, though now i think mine may be a tad short...
