28Jul The spore creature
Posted by Subrat Sarkar
Spore, the next game from famed game designer Will Wright. The game is being shown behind closed doors by Will Wright himself, who takes viewers on an interactive guided tour of some of the game’s features.
Spore, starting with the Creature Creator, blurs the line between social networking and videogames. Strange bedfellows, sure, but an exciting prospect, particularly for a game whose content will spawn primarily from a rabid user-base. Every player (upon registering their game) is given their own page on the Spore community site, with RSS feeds tracking events in the game, their creatures’ ratings based on community votes (Trunk: hot or not?) and other in-game news.
