i dont think any other game has ever reached the level of pure uniqueness that spore had. im so sad that it seems to have faded into the background, but every now and again people seem to find interest in it.
But I can. I was the odd one of my forum back in the day; back in the ZT and ZT2 days, we also talked ABOUT everything spec bio, and I particularly HATED this game. Why? It just never clicked with me, that's all, but my friends pushed me into it and from that I grew to actually despise it.
@@cristhianmlr yeah i dislike the cartoonishness but when you go out into space as a kid the radio waves and silence makes it so vast and sombre that you cant help but think about our very real galaxy. its good for kids imo, if theyre smart enough theyll see through how simple it is
This game WAS my life as a kid. I grew up in a small village in Germany. Me and my friends shared the same CD of Spore and I remember it barely running on our parents PCs. We made clubs based on our favorite creatures, drew comics and made weekend long sleepovers playing the Adventure add on. It was also the first time I made friends online, through the creature upload archive, where I would make gifts for other Spore players. Signs of its impact are still in my life to this day
If you like Spore then I recommend keeping an eye on “Adapt”. It’s a spore-like indie game with more in depth features based on realistic speculative evolution.
I love this. This approach of focusing on real-world biology is the one I use when making my own spore creatures. I even go as far as creating entire biospheres for my planets (6 herbivores, 3 carnivores/omnivores) so I can make a scientifically accurate version of my planet in space stage.
I may have only played twice (one was on a public computer that barely got into the Creature stage, and the other was a straight-shot from Cell to Space on a borrowed laptop), but I still enjoyed what I experienced before losing access. Some convergent traits I noticed between the two species were an omnivorous diet (as is recommended), a tetrapodal step onto dry land before mutating their manipulator limbs (making them quadrapedal hexapods), and a distinct second mouth on their raised tails adept at singing, freeing up their original mouth to go all in on bite strength. If I regain access to Spore in the future (likely through a digital copy), I've got some ideas on how to shake up that concept.
Unironically, Walking with Dinosaurs and Spore were the two things that drove me to be more interested in biology I'm a software dev now, but I still really like learning about animals and speculative evolution I really wasn't expecting a video on Spore, considering how "intelligent design"-y it gets
Doing exactly the same thing rn, pursuing BTech in CS and still love everything about biology, paleontology and geology I'm thinking of taking Datascience as major so that maybe I can still work in fields like these, out of the tech field ? Is that a possibility ?
The motto of Spore is "How will you create the universe?" and I have been part of it for a long time. I think the game is awesome, and about the last thing I expected to end up on this channel. Thanks, CA!
Seeing their interpretation of tribal and civilization stages would be quite entertaining. They have made similar videos before. They won't even have to show pictures. They can just show words.
@@dakotashroom5401 She wasn't being a defeatist about learning, she was simply saying that she was too young to have a sense of biology at her immediate disposal when playing Spore at 7 years old.
Spore is fantastic! A game of my childhood that I still play today! I really enjoyed seeing the footage of real life examples of what you were evolving, seeing those microorganisms was fascinating and I never fail to learn something new, watching your content! I really hope for a new Spore some day!
Man seeing this vid brought a tear to my eye tbh. I remember when spore first came out and me and my dad were in the line at GameStop to get it! Can’t believe I was 7 when it came out. Even tho the original vision of spore never came to be, the game we got still instilled a love/passion to evolution, wildlife and speculative evolution in me :,)
IMO the creature creator still holds up extremely well to this day. Plenty of features for the advanced creator but also simple enough for anyone to understand how it works in just a couple minutes. Been playing this game nearly religiously since 2012 and I'm still finding new ways to create something truly unique. It's also fun doing challenges to keep things fresh. Sometimes me and my friends get together and we'll pull out a random number generator and try to recreate pokemom corresponding with that number from memory, it's a lot of fun
There is a newer science based sporelike game called thrive. Currently the people working on it are developing the cellular part of the game, what's playable is pretty good!
This is great, I recently got spore back on steam and its the only game I want to play. I love to make weird creepy creatures with the Cute and creepy DLC and its just a great game. I wish that EA didn't abandon spore.
Same, dude - fortunately, I think some Spore fans out there have started trying to make games that at least give similar experiences, so we might get something like a better version of Spore in the future! I've seen a couple videos on the topic by DarkEdgeTV...
This is the approach I take when I play Spore. What hit me is when you hesitated to remove the fin upon reaching land. Something I do and that I slowly remove over the generations. :) It's quite a fun way to play the early game! Sure I am slow, but it's fun-
Spore is one of the most nostalgic games for me, and I’d love to see you make a second video on this covering the Tribal, Civilisation and Space stages.
You should do a video on the novels "Fragment" and "Pandemonium", now that I think about it, they've got some cool speculative creatures in them (especially if you think mantis shrimp aren't deadly ENOUGH already). I thought of that because I remember using the spore creature creator to replicate one of the creatures from the novel, just to see if I could, because the creators in Spore are still some of the best ever made.
There is on in the works! It's called Adapt. It doesn't LOOk more realistic because it's an Indie, but it seam like they're improving the mechanics to be more realistic.
I'm working on one myself. It will be realistic but will not be linear like Spore and aims to teach ecology and natural selection. There will be a deep story mode as well.
No no no, don't have it be realistic, just have it be fun above all else. Let the player turn green sausages with fins into dinosaurs in a single generation and breakdance to befriend flying pears, just make the gameplay more engaging than a weird MMORPG thing that then devolves into endless repetition in space stage. I've always found Spore's final presentation to be far more charming, it just suffered greatly in gameplay department. I still find it fun, but it could have been more if they cut down the scale of the whole thing and released certain stages separately (Cell+Creature, Tribe+Civilization and finally Space, grouped according to gameplay type). As it is, the game tries being everything.
I would pay good money to watch you do a full playthrough of this game, and explore more possibilities and new creatures, i was genuinely super invested in the story or curiousus and what would happen to them.
This was so cool! I’ve seen a lot of Spore videos but never one that tried to be realistic. I’d love to see what you’d do with other Spore creatures if you wanted to do another one of these
Ayyyyyy let’s go, CA covering Spore! One of my favourite games I’ve ever played! Also, it would be cool to make a Birrin-like creature in this game, as I think it could definitely be done.
Man I love Spore. I used to not go past the tribal stage because I found the civilization stage so boring. When I finally bit the bullet and did the space stage, I was in love all over again
19:03 You might be interested in the game "Thrive". While it's still really early in development and not expected to be completed for a long long time, it seems like an interesting take on a more scientifically-accurate Spore and definitely one to keep an eye on IMO.
I Love this series of scientifically studying fictional biology. If I may suggest an idea, I was thinking that No Man’s Sky has some interesting biological diversity, it may not be handcrafted like subnautica, but it still may make for an interesting study.
I LOVED Spore SO MUCH as a kid. I am pretty sure it is the game I have put the most hours into. Thanks for the nostalgia! Now I want to play it more again.
Spore is still awesome. I wish it would be possible to put in more diversity within species or technologies to make it more colourful. Or a teck-tree and crafting-systems.
Thrive is a game with a similar concept as Spore. It takes a more reasonable route. You play as a cell and you have to collect colors with really long names. There are videos of people playing it.
There are a few games that might have the potential to become worthy successors of Spore: I think Elysian Eclipse, Adapt and The Sappling might be the ones. Thrive is also interesting.
This is the game that made me love biology. It's always been my most wanted game to get since 2013 and im finally getting it in a week or 2. It's awesome to see this video
Haha this is awesomely nostalgic, it's crazy how this game still lives! Also there's a game called Thrive that is currently in kind of an early development and available to play, I think you may be interested in that too!
I am 14 now and I never got to play these games and watch famous documentaries but thanks to these videos I can experience the thrill of biology that many people felt watching them. Thank you curious archive.
YES!!! My favorite game of all time! Thank you so much for making this!!! You have no idea how much this video and this entire channel in general means to me, dude! ;D
Awesome video!!! Also there are species that do get along to the point to interact with eachother, for example Humans and Dogs love eachother, playing with eachother, and even sleeping with eachother in the same bed, for example me and my Cavapoo Charlie sleep in the same bed :) another species that get along with eachother are Hippos and Tick Birds, Tick Birds eat pests off Hippos like Ticks, Mosquitoes, Wasps, Nats, ETC, and Hippos let Tick Birds hang out on their backs :)
Spore was a game that outgrew itself, mainly because of EA, but Maybye if someone else release Spore today, it would become much more than what was achieved back when Spore was rushed and released
What makes this a lot more fun to watch is not just the very interesting real life biology comparison but the gameplay which was very entertaining to watch and I really hope to see more videos like this in the future
Enjoyed this game years ago. Had lots of fun playing it, never beat it. Sadly I have lost so many creatures that I made, some good, some bad. I liked building Starships as well. I made one that looked like a whale, that one actually I think is still in the online files.
The thing I like about Spore is the content people make. The creative minds that write up additional background fluff and inject their own imagination into their species brings a charm of its own. One of my favorites was "Luminar" who had a collaborative galaxy called "Luros-B" between them, Uroboros, and RacieB who all designed unique civilizations and creatures with backstories not depicted in gameplay but shows that the creativity can go beyond the in-game editors and gameplay.
I wish a remake would come out. Just feel like it was ahead of it’s time in a way with how complicated and beautiful the concepts are. Just imagining it with today’s technology in mind would be amazing! I have a copy of it for the ds I haven’t played yet. I’m thinking I might sometime soon.
I am an artist. All I want is one day to get into the gaming industry and together with a small team of devs to make a spore like game but more complex and up to modern standard .
Something you could've considered was to retain the Lateral Spikes from Cell Stage, gradually moving them towards the Shoulders in Creature Stage & eventually these Spikes would become the Feather-Like Display Structures in the latter part of Creature Stage.
I love this game. When it first came out, I couldn't stop playing. Imagine my shock when I found out that many people dislike it! I remember one time when I decided to remove my creature's first set of hands and replace them with mouths, turning the arms into necks
I think the mircoscopic cells are actually multicellular and not a single cell because they have mandibles and mandibles are only in multicellular organisms
I LOOOOOOOVE SPORE!!!! I have played it so many times and it is so sad there isn't a new version. The thing that comes closest is Niche and even that only focuses on one body type. Faunasphere was good too but it got cut and only had the animals fight pollution. WE NEED ANOTHER SPORE
Yes, I'm nearing the end of the game for the first time now. I had wanted the game for years and got a physical copy, but I found out about the issues the physical copies can have to prevent piracy, so I bought off steam, only to find out I can't even login due to EA doing stuff lmfao But yeah I've always loved it and always thought I would only like the creature stage. But surprisingly I actually really like all the stages. I wish a sequel could be made or a reimagined game by someone else.
Spore was among one of the first games I've ever played. I played it when I was around 4 years old, and I still enjoy it quite a lot to this day. It has basically infinite possibilities, and every time you think you've done everything you discover a new kind of feature of the game. In my opinion, Spore was and still is the best game to come out of the hands of EA.
I was 11 by the time Spore came out, but I feel like I grew up on this game; the Creature Creator at least, initially. So many hours, countless creatures, what a blissful time that was. Heck, I still have the game guide book, albeit a bit tattered. A real shame that it's been left on community life-support.
When it comes to the world of investing, most people don't know where to start. Fortunately, great us investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance
Yeah!! Due to the fall in the stock market, I don't think it's advisable holding, it would be more beneficial and yield more profit if you actually trade on cryptocurrency I've been trading since the dip, and I've made so much profit trading.
@Rebecca Katheriner that's why you need the help of a professional like Mr Dave Jevans who trade and understand the market more to earn good income, these professionals understand the market like it's there own farm and make s maximum profit for investors.
I don't trade I invest with a professional called Dave Jevans by a crypto company that trades for us and returns our profit on weekly basis for me and you can invest your capital and get weekly returns of investment (ROI) without any extra fees attached
@Johnny Washington Yeah, My first investment with Mr Dave Jevans he earned me profit of over $25,530 US dollars, and ever since then he has been delivering
i dont think any other game has ever reached the level of pure uniqueness that spore had. im so sad that it seems to have faded into the background, but every now and again people seem to find interest in it.
Fun fact: if you spin the galaxy fast enough, the face of Will Wright (the ‘Creator’ of Spore) will appear
There are a couple games like this right now. Maybe three, actually.

I recently passed a Spore with task to make the most reliable evolution. It turned out nice and science

it clearly is no where near done yet
You should do a video on the novels "Fragment" and "Pandemonium", now that I think about it, they've got some cool speculative creatures in them (especially if you think mantis shrimp aren't deadly ENOUGH already).

Very cool to approach the script like you're explaining lore when you're really explaining your own gameplay. Can't wait to see more
SPORE!! I also dumped hours into this and it really inspired a lot of my love for world-building and speculative biology.
I'm glad to know others also made up how their creations function as a part of their ecosystem. It was my favourite part of playing Spore

I love spore!! Great game to cover and great content in general 👍 I love your work
Thank you for the video dedicated to my childhood, and to a game with more potential for greatness than most, yet a failed one.
I love spore, I love curios archive I love this and haven’t seen this video yet
I wish a remake would come out. Just feel like it was ahead of it’s time in a way with how complicated and beautiful the concepts are. Just imagining it with today’s technology in mind would be amazing! I have a copy of it for the ds I haven’t played yet. I’m thinking I might sometime soon.
i really vvant another spore game vvith a fish phase
Fun Fact: The galaxy you play on in spore is actually the Milky Way because you can actually find Earth!
:O
@@veikkakarvonen831 also there's an achievement for blowing up the Earth, iirc
@@Aozame gonna get that achievement irl 😈
How
Spore is such a gem thank you for covering it
I am an artist. All I want is one day to get into the gaming industry and together with a small team of devs to make a spore like game but more complex and up to modern standard .
I hope you succeed!
Something you could've considered was to retain the Lateral Spikes from Cell Stage, gradually moving them towards the Shoulders in Creature Stage & eventually these Spikes would become the Feather-Like Display Structures in the latter part of Creature Stage.
I love this game. When it first came out, I couldn't stop playing. Imagine my shock when I found out that many people dislike it!
I remember one time when I decided to remove my creature's first set of hands and replace them with mouths, turning the arms into necks
I'm waiting for spore again with a different evolutionary history (best spore video I've ever watched in my life) :D
I think the mircoscopic cells are actually multicellular and not a single cell because they have mandibles and mandibles are only in multicellular organisms
I LOOOOOOOVE SPORE!!!! I have played it so many times and it is so sad there isn't a new version. The thing that comes closest is Niche and even that only focuses on one body type. Faunasphere was good too but it got cut and only had the animals fight pollution. WE NEED ANOTHER SPORE
Yes, I'm nearing the end of the game for the first time now. I had wanted the game for years and got a physical copy, but I found out about the issues the physical copies can have to prevent piracy, so I bought off steam, only to find out I can't even login due to EA doing stuff lmfao
But yeah I've always loved it and always thought I would only like the creature stage. But surprisingly I actually really like all the stages. I wish a sequel could be made or a reimagined game by someone else.
I have countless of let's plays about this game, but your scientific approach gives it an even more exciting vibe.
I would like to see how technology evolved with this kind of creature
This was not expected. I mean, I was expecting to not expect something, but I was NOT expecting this
Spore: babies first spec evo. I absolutely loved playing this game spent waaaayyyyy too many hours creating those abominations
Spore was among one of the first games I've ever played. I played it when I was around 4 years old, and I still enjoy it quite a lot to this day. It has basically infinite possibilities, and every time you think you've done everything you discover a new kind of feature of the game. In my opinion, Spore was and still is the best game to come out of the hands of EA.
Im a simple guy. I see Spore, I click.
Man I loved this game. I think there was a period of my childhood of like 1~2 years where this was all I played all the time.
I was 11 by the time Spore came out, but I feel like I grew up on this game; the Creature Creator at least, initially. So many hours, countless creatures, what a blissful time that was. Heck, I still have the game guide book, albeit a bit tattered. A real shame that it's been left on community life-support.
As someone who’s made spore content, and have a heavy love for the game, you covering it is such a treat. Love your stuff dude! ^^

spec evo carcinization
this is probably the best spore lets play I have ever watched
When it comes to the world of investing, most people don't know where to start. Fortunately, great us investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance
Yeah!! Due to the fall in the stock market, I don't think it's advisable holding, it would be more beneficial and yield more profit if you actually trade on cryptocurrency I've been trading since the dip, and I've made so much profit trading.
@Rebecca Katheriner that's why you need the help of a professional like Mr Dave Jevans who trade and understand the market more to earn good income, these professionals understand the market like it's there own farm and make s maximum profit for investors.
I don't trade I invest with a professional called Dave Jevans by a crypto company that trades for us and returns our profit on weekly basis for me and you can invest your capital and get weekly returns of investment (ROI) without any extra fees attached
@Johnny Washington Yeah, My first investment with Mr Dave Jevans he earned me profit of over $25,530 US dollars, and ever since then he has been delivering
He has really made a good name for himself.
Please continue this playthrough!
This is the kind of content I live for, thank you
indeed one of the best Spore gameplay I ever seen, I love this channel and it's content
