Spore is a lovely game, what, you don't like my creature? No need to diss the poor thing, it was made that way, by me. I think you hurt its feelings

You'll get over it.

Certainly, and in the process I've also reinforced Jim's point about Spore

Jim Sachs · 06-22-2008, 05:39 PM

Your critter is quite lovely, one of the best I've seen. If only everyone showed such restraint in building Spore creatures.
I made the mistake of following some of the links on the news sites, and now my dreams will be haunted by X-rated demons. Now Will Wright will be known as the guy who made such things possible.

I'm sure that 99% of the reason for the creature editor coming out a couple months early is to weed out all the lowest common denominator crap and probably beef up a content filtering system to prevent idiots from spoiling the full launch with this kind of junk...

I like your critter made with Spore and would love to design my own, but my older Mac (OS 10.2.8) won't support it.

I did design an alien named Flit in Strata 3D, if you're curious to see it go my link below, then click on page 2 and enlarge the thumbnails.

Spore is not shipped as a Universal Binary, rather it's an Intel-only Mac application. I believe the developer just took their Windows application CD and "wrapped it in CIDER" so it looks like a Mac app. Expect a lot more Mac games via that route.

I see you like to model things that fly. Flit is charming. And your Space Shuttle render is amazing. You have a gift and expect you'd do well in the computer gaming industry

Jim - With all the work you have put into the 'mechanics' of MA3 will this in turn help when you tackle the freshwater aquarium again?

Jim Sachs · 06-28-2008, 09:21 PM

Yes.

Ralph · 06-28-2008, 10:31 PM

Hmmmm... the fresh water aquarium is still on the table??

Jim Sachs · 06-28-2008, 11:43 PM

Yes.

Don't forget the bird "aquarium" and the "reptile "aquarium" too Jim

Stew2000 · 07-01-2008, 11:18 AM

What's a Bird Aquarium?

cjmaddy · 07-01-2008, 11:34 AM

A tank full of these?

An aviary.

Jav400 · 07-01-2008, 12:17 PM

Hmm,

I've never went fishing with a shotgun before Cliff.

That is where Jim's 200 foot wall in his studio is going to come in handy

A relatively rare hunting experience.. I understand they are trying to breed a pointer dog that can swim better........

Jim Sachs · 07-02-2008, 12:04 AM

Don't forget the butterfly aquarium.

debavocet · 07-05-2008, 12:53 PM

A marine aquarium, freshwater aquarium, reptile aquarium, bird "aquarium", butterfly aquarium - Jim, you'll need two or three lifetimes for this.
How about throwing in a duck tank?
