    Your wishlist

    What sorts of features are on your wishlist for inclusion in Spore? I've read a lot of different stuff here and on other forums - parasites, battlebots, cyborgs, cities in the sky, etc., etc. So what do you want to see?

    Me - I'll probably be content with the features that have been announced to date :). I do hope they have the same sort of built-in snapshot feature that's in The Sims 2. I want to be able to easily make a photo album of my race of creepy-crawlies as they progress to galactic domination ;).

    How about creatures that can survive in space with no atmosphere?

    I would also like to see walking vehicles in the civilization stage.

    I'd like the building-designings to be extremely advanced and easy at the same way. So that I can make the perfect buildings..
    And I want the same for the creature-designers. I'm alot into the fact to make it as perfect as possible :bouncy:

    AND I want features that makes the game un-endable.. With that I mean, that the creatures should be let to evolve for the rest of their time! They could make bigger brains and bigger evolution stages, cuz I mean,, what happens AFTER the UFO stage? :spin:

    Then Spore could be able to show US humans what kinda future we COULD have, because we have only evolved to the UFO stage right?
    So this could also be a game to suggest what could be in the "nearest" future... I don't know, MY MINDS GOING AWAY!!! :indifferent: :spin:

    id like to make one race get them to UFO stage then goto a different planet and start a new race, but in the same universe that my first race was created.

    I have another. I'd like to have the ability to manually export and share my creations. If I have a friend that makes a really cool creature, I'd like to be able to play around with it without having to search through 100,000 star systems, hoping to run into it.

    I wish for several things:

    1) I would really, really like to make my own planets. Say, if there's an asteroid belt or debris field, I could fly up to it in my ufo, zap it, then it becomes a big hunk of rock that I could terraform and make my own life on. What would be even nicer is if I could "collect" space debris while travelling, then haul it to some system and make a planet out of debris that I harvested elsewhere.

    2) More importantly than the first, I would LOVE to see different planet sizes. The planets so far, in my eyes, are way too small and crowded. Yeah, I know they're pretty big, but they're not big enough. I would like to be able to create huge planets that I could play on and build stuff on and all that fun stuff. Now I'm not saying they need to be the size of an actual planet... hardly. All I want is an option to make em a little larger if I wish.

    3) For buildings... I would like to build buildings and stuff with giant pits in the middle of them. Let's say I have a flat building, and there is a large square hole in the middle that goes down into the earth. That way I could make it appear like my buildings stretch far beneath the surface of the earth, I could make mines, waste pits, all sorts of cool things.

    4) Another building request: I think there should be no limits to how many buildings you can have in a city, how close cities can be together, and how close together buildings can be. That way, if the player so chooses, they could build cities that stretch across half the planet and are so dense that you cannot see any ground within the city boundaries. Robot planet, anyone? I know that for this request, computer resources would be an issue (that's an awful lot of rendering that needs to be done), but why should that get in the way? A few years from now computers will be much more powerful and could handle that type of stuff, why not prepare for it now? Some people might not understand the limits of their computer and build too large for what they can handle, but even in that scenario what you could do is add in a command for the console that would disable the limits.

    5) Very loose restrictions on the size of things we can build: I'm not saying "let's all build creatures the size of atoms and stars!", but I think loose restrictions would be nice. I'd like to be able to build very tiny and very large creatures.

    6) Assymetrical creatures. It would greatly add to the creative possibilites.

    7) Creatures with skeletons other than a central spine. I think it'd be cool to create creatures with two spines, or skeletons that split halfway down the spine (a Y shaped creature), and also creatures with circular spines that meet together at the ends. Again, many more creative possibilities.

    I can't think of anything else at the moment, but these are the biggest features that I would like to see in the game. Of course, I have no idea how far Maxis is into development of the game, and I also do not know what spore's engine is capable of, but I believe these ideas to be doable.

    I could be cool with buildings like hobbit-land from lord of the rings.. Half way under the ground and half over... :bouncy:

    Here is the current list of stuff I would like to see in the game (other than what has already been said)

    1: Creatures that can survive in space with no atmosphere, and can inhabit stuff like asteroid belts or the airless rocky planets.

    2: Strange vehicle designs where they walk or run around on legs instead of wheels.

    3: The ability to make creatures that can live underwater and on land without needing a air or water filled dome.

    4: Creatures that have no skeleton at all.

    5: The ability to have colonies just floating in space, or having them on small asteroids.

    2) i guess bigger (solongs processors can handle it) is better so i am with you to an extent on this one!

    3) Yea that'd be cool.

    6) as in non symetrical... i beleive that is possible in spore.

    7) Will Wright said that you could make the spine as small as you like, one bone long even (ie one vertebrae) and that could be the size of a normal bone. 'Y' creatures will certainly be possible, as would creatures with splits in, and creatures with other weird stuff. I think the engine looks at what you put in palces, so if you define one bone as a leg its going to think its a leg and try and walk on it... and vice versa.

    2. yea that'd be awesome, like Mechs from mechwarrior heh. i hope they allow this.

    3. another good idea, and certainly possible. it'd be a wonder if it didnt exist in the game wouldnt it. i hope it does.
     
  11. invasion

    Will Wright in his demo talked about the saucer and all the things that it could accomplish, but one saucer? I would like to see huge invasion forces like independence day where the whole race moved in giant space armadas killing other races and havasting their planet. I would like to swoop in with a huge fleet destroying cities and defences and then taking their planet and add it to my collection. I would also like to see a parasite race you could create, like the creatures off of alien. Or like a colony of ants or wasps that all worked, fought, conquered together as one creature. I would also like to see in the creature creator how a creature lifestyle would be affected by what you equip it with like a three legged monkey thing receiving claws and teeth. Kind of like in an RPG that lets you know how evil or good your charcter is. well those are my wishes and the wait is killing me :bouncy:
