I've played a bit of it, quite good so far as I've seen. Check your repo

I am sorry but WTF !!!

• There is a spore community on lemmy
• It present cool game
• It is open source !

Thanks a lot, i will check and support them ;) It look cool as heck !

One thing I disliked about Spore was that, between the original demo video and the actual game, the whole thing got made over into goofy cartoonish Sims-looking art style. The creator of this successor would do well to avoid making the same mistake. If we wanna make more shitty meme monsters we can just go play Spore again. Give us something Spore didn't!

Interesting to see this project is still going, I havent seen much about it since leaving reddit during the API protest.

Cool to know someone is attempting to go after core gameplay of Spore, but personally I wish they didn't do it like this. By that I mean don't try to leech off of Spore sentiment. Game might be almost identical, but it should still retain its own identity, and not be immediately touted as a spiritual successor. I hate that term. Most games I've played that made such claims were plain bad or just plagiarism machines.

Spore was my hyperfixation for a good long while. It was off-beat, quirky, had an eccentric personality and was completely different than anything else out there and the creature creator was absolutely amazing. It was everything that a popular mainstream game wasn't, which is exactly the reason why no profit-driven business would fund something like it. Nowadays, even if something is profitable, if the margin is big enough, it's considered a flop. I am convinced though, that unfortunately for Spore, SecuROM is the reason it saw no future.

I would say that spore was a bit ahead of its time, except I cant think of anything thats come out since that is really like it beyond direct attempts to copy it, which have always been rather incomplete. I cant shake the feeling that an attempt to make something equivalent with modern hardware capabilities would be amazing, flawed design or no, but I guess with the reputation the game has, that isnt likely to happen any time soon

thank you!

I discovered it from the steam page actually, the bit lower down with community posts, someone else had linked it after showing one of their custom plants. the link they'd shared that I got it from is here: https://github.com/A-xesey/Flora-Editor-Reconstruction

wow, I always wanted to try the cut flora editor in spore, but I didnt think there was a working mod for it, finally!

Where did you find it?

And a few minutes later, I find some in the wild, so I guess that works too

On the other hand, the epics do often have a lot of bones around to find.
