The OCEAN world! http://www.gamingsteve.com/archives/2005/06/gaming_steve_ep_11.php this is a picture of an ocean world from Spore! :bouncy: And I just want to say that THAT looks amazing! I think I'm gonna make something water-ish.. perfect beautiful water-creatures to fit into that BEAUTIFUL ocean-world.. I can't help it I'm shocked! I never thought about that fact with all the plants and cliffs and and and... :spin: What do you guys think??
I LOVE IT!! <3 Must make giantic sea-serpents! I go desingning. PS: land-world looks a little ugly at side of this. Look at the demo! In "spear-age" there's gray and boring. But look under the water! Amazing.
I almost wonder if that's just a conceptual design, and not an actual shot from the game. It's beautiful and all, and I hope that's what the game will end up looking like in the end (both above and below water), but it would be unusual for the land to look as frumpy as it does with a gorgeous underwater world like that.
id have thought from a technological standpoint that the underwater world looking like that was possible. The only thing is Will Wright said that the world is all made procedurally, so thats randomly built up based on scripts etc. So it probably wouldnt look as... modelled as that picture. Although the buildings ofc would be your own design, so they could look how you please.
ok maybe those light-effects is a bit too much, but I like the cliffs anyway! and the waters blue-ness and all the phantastic flowers I know I sound like some hippie or like that, but that's also exactly how my race underwater, my Merds are going to be! Just imaging putting a city in the center of that picture.. and remove the weird light effects.. then it still looks like a beautiful city!! :spin:
Light-effects are beauty! Otherwise theres dark like in the cave (I think that's in cave and light comes out of small holes) Flowers makes light of course but not very much.
This is one of the conceptual paintings(or whatever medium it is) that the Spore team is using for ideas that they want players to be able to create. Wright talked about this in one of GamingSteve's interviews. This is not a screenshot, it's not even a render. The only time it would have ever hit a computer at all was if it was being touched up in photoshop or something, so it would look all nice and pretty for the audience to wow over. Though, the oceans in-game do look pretty nice, regardless.
yah,, it may look a little TOO designed... But at least it can give us some ideas of what the intelectual underwater city could look like? In the GDC video the water is beautiful, so if the lights becomes removed, it would look alot like the game (as it is now) :spin:
I read the interview aswell, very informative. I also like the hwole, making space and planets and suns thing. Nebulas, black holes. Also changing plants n stuff. Also awesome.
I think that this was already answered, if you have anything new to say, say it, but if you're going to repeat again and again, it won't help abybody. Heat
so tahts just some conception art?! awwwww man. i was really excited for naught. /sigh\ but im definatly going to build an underwater race.
dudes!!! WR said it was gonna be out Fall 06 :-D woot woot i cant wait, ive been waiting so long let it come out already
