Well, I'm in. If Maxis won't make Science Spore, I guess it's up to us. We have the skills, the know-how...all we need is to get organized.

So...I'm in. I'll do just about anything in a 3D art capacity, even a 2D ar capacity; won't be the first time I've made HUD icons and stuff...

You know what you guys could use for 3D modeling for the game?

Thats what i have been saying for days on end now.
I'm glad you are finally making the first steps.

I cant really help but if u need sound or anything sound related i can give u profesional qaulity since its my job.

MAX or Maya.

Next question. (...she said, deliberately ignoring the point.)

Can anyone link what they were going to do? I heard about spore only a few months back and I thought it was a neat idea but I'm curious as to what they were going to do and what you guys mean by science spore. I'm already wishing there was more to this game then what they're is. The whole idea of Role playing a species from organism to supreme being is great. Just imagine.

if it were an expansion, it would be a guanteed bought expansion for me...

It's not going to be an expansion, the forum team here is going to make it!

Well, there were a lot of underlying principles at work in Spore. Will Wright describes in one of his lectures/demos about how there is a lot of failure-based learning in what he originally planned, that there was meant to be a lot of trying something and getting unexpected-but-nifty results, and in the process of experimenting, learning...but wrapped up in a core of fun, where the learning wasn't overt.

He probably explains it better than I do here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8dvMDFOFnA

That's the 2005 demo everyone talks about. It paints a VERY different picture of Spore than what we have today. The look is more realistic, the physics are more realistic, the underlying systems behind environments and animal populations and all of that are more realistic...

2005 Demo - The White Album.

2008 - Barny and Friends.

Now? Age of Aquarius by the Fifth Dimension.

If you wanted a soundtrack.

Edit: Let the sun shine - let the sun shine in.

Still 11 to 1 amongst those who are decisive about their choice.

I hope someone at Maxis is paying attention!

Get to work, I expect to see something before Bush is kicked out of office.

It's up.

Just some basic testing for it right now.

Von Neumann probe programmed to multiply
Clickin’ and tickin’ with the equation of phi
Striving and climbing and bribing and lying
For science, fudge the numbers so that everything fits.

Shakin and bakin and takin’ and takin’ and takin’
Takin’ everything, everything, gimme gimme everything
Oh no I see the end of the road
Will we explode before the ice age hits?

Yeah, Spore is fun now, but imagine the wow factor if the Spore galaxy was based more off of those prototypes. I also feel a galaxy based off of those prototypes would be much more flexible and open-ended than the one we have now.

Amen!!!
