      @@entertainmentanimations Well, I'm 22. Still pretty young, but not a kid. You shouldn't bash people for how they speak. If I were like you, maybe I'd correct the fact that you used "your" wrong. I don't need to worry about whether my speech is "cool." For a lot of people, swearing is just another part of informal conversation. People in the world are not going to censor themselves around you just because of your personal opinions. It's alright for you to choose not to swear, but you can only control yourself. Please learn from this and don't go around saying this kind of thing to other people - they'll certainly be a lot ruder to you.
      Also, while you haven't heard anyone trash talk Spore, that's not the same for everyone. In many of the contexts I've heard it, it's usually other gamers/content creators joking on it for being "pointless" and, as the other commenter said, "buggy" and its ridiculous DRM. (That means anti-piracy stuff, which didn't work a lot of the time and even locked people out of their own games they bought.) I'd recommend looking up the Monster Factory episodes on it, but the hosts do swear, so there's your warning in advance.
      Unrelated, I'm glad to see you're passionate about animation! I like drawing and animating too. I hope you get the chance to make something famous someday!

      Thanks for the suggestion as well! :D Sorry I missed your original comment.
      Perhaps one day I could stream a casual play through destroying the Grox or something, but for a speedrun it would take too long. The Grox have 2400 star systems to conquer, that would take me weeks ;)

    • @toimine8930
      @toimine8930 4 роки тому +29

      let's say one cycle takes, say, 10 seconds (probably way too short but it'll add up), then taking over 2400 star systems would take at least 24000 seconds or almost 7 hours (and that's assuming no breaks, 100% optimisation and that all grox star systems have only one grox colony, which is also not true), so it'd take way too long in any case

    So cool to see that Spore is still a thing even in 2021. I was wondering about something in the space part of the speedrun: Wouldn't it be faster to use the fanatical frenzy on the grox planets right after you've done their mission? It usually takes too long for another mission to appear and it would save you the hassle of finding another inhabited planet

    • @KinglyValence
      @KinglyValence  3 роки тому +22

      That is a good point and optimization! I may have been using the Fanatical Frenzy specifically on systems on the edge of Grox territory so I could be out of their firing range. But I could probably work that in if I do something like this again in the future!

Absolutely blown away by how you've managed to play what is arguably a pretty basic children's game and turn it in to an incredible display of perfect management and optimisation. You have an amazing mind and it was a pleasure to watch you eke out every morsel of "winning" from your play-throughs. Kudos.

You basically going to their home planet that has a ton of cities, GO DOWN to the planet, start dialog with them so they'll sell a system to you, and voila, you get yourself a system that creates a ton of spice of whatever color and 100 storage for it on this planet. I literally got to 99.999.999 something sporlings in 10 minutes afk.

    I remember (possibly years ago) an exploit that you can create a Sporepedia creature with custom Consequences (rewards/abilities that carry over to the next stages).
    What was unique about this was that you can start a play through in any stage with Consequences you define. If I recall correctly, if you start playing at any stage you don't get any consequences.
    Thought information might be useful for you stage specific speedruns! I don't remember the specific website where I got the exploit.
    Your video reminded me when I imported a Grox model (because I wanted to play as them) in Space Stage. I used the exploit to get any Consequences without having to play the whole game.

    • @KinglyValence
      @KinglyValence  4 роки тому +4

      That's pretty interesting!
      It's possible to use the 'setconsequencetrait' cheat to give any consequence traits we want for any creature too.
      We don't allow the consequences for Stage specific speedruns because that would normally be carried over from other levels. For Individual level speedruns, everything should just be from the one Stage we are running.

    This is a legitimately the best strategy. Take it from me. Back when Spore originally came out. And had the timed leaderboard. I was the third person ever to complete the game and reach the center of the galaxy.
    How i did it was by allying with the grox and getting extremely lucky with wormholes.
    Kept setting down outposts on barren rocks to keep my ship fueled and didnt betray them till the final stretch to grab up planets and skipping stone through their territory.
