His criteria is on either the first or second page. By that criteria, I count, which is kind of funny, since I'm NOT famous (and don't really wanna be).

Hence my perverted quote from Animal Farm.

I train horses for a living now, but I've done all kinds of weird things from training bears and llamas, to session and studio musician, to following the Grateful Dead and making jewelry, to programming proprietary assembler for missile guidance systems. My Dad was a systems designer, and I wrote my first code (machine language) when I was maybe 7 or 8. I love code and logic, and have always coded professionally. The last 20 years I've worked for the largest software company in the USA and UK that creates software and systems to support the publishing industry. So yeah

I code

Bears?!

Only two bears. One american black bear and a russian brown bear (but I think he was just a cinnamon black bear).

Bears are very smart, clever. They don't tell you as much as a dog, you really have to listen to them. I like them a lot. I've worked with lots of animals. Getting to have my hands on so many different kinds of animals really makes me conscious of the structural differences between a dog, and a horse, a seal, an otter, or a tiger. That very much influences my spore creatures. I'm really frustrated with the limb selection sometimes.

Right now I have 3 horses (down from 5), a borzoi and whippets, some bengal cats and a snake. I foster big parrots, too, and retrain and tame them for new homes, but I don't have any at home now.

I like the way animals think and learn, and it's a challenge to me to find ways to communicate with them. Even my goldfish and bettas get taught things, like how to choose an image to get fed, or the bettas learn to jump for food.

Great interview that one.

I'd consider you famous ashkelon (on the sporum at least)

Ok, next interview is up! Featuring Nicholas_Cap! You guys should really check out his creations, they are awesome but for some reason he's losing subscribers.

I probably will not be posting any more interviews for a while, I've got a major project to work on so I may not be on for a while.

hmmm never heard of this creator before.. i think its time i look them up!

Never heard of Nicholas_Cap?

he was one of my first friends ^^

Reading interview noaw...

He was one of the first people to ever comment on me... actually he might have been the first.

Great interview ^^

I think he was one of my first regular, popular commenters/subscribers.

I am enjoying this thread, great interviews.

Yeah, never heard of this Nicholas_Cap - rushes to check his stuff out.

Liking this thread too.

This interview idea is great. A great way to get creators' opinion. p.s To Nicholas_Cap: Thanks Nicholas

@Nicholas_Cap :: Good interview. I like your attitude toward creating, and I've looked at your stuff since you started. I freely admit to being a person who creates a lot in the same vein. My creatures are different to me, but that's because I actually play with them, and know their backstories, their economies and how they relate to the other planets around them. I admire people like you who branch out and try the limits of their comfort level. I do that in other things in my life! Spore is a diversion

Thanks for a really interesting thread, and thanks for changing the colors so its visually easier to separate the sections.

I am truly honored that you chose to interview me Jezrhen-King. I hope you all enjoy checking out my sporepedia creatures.
