Spore won't be a massively multiplayer game, but each time you or any other player designs a creature, then that creature will be uploaded to a master online server that will automatically populate your worlds with any player-created creatures that are applicable to the needs of the world. On land, you'll wander across the surface of an earthlike planet populated by creatures actually created by other players. If you remove your creature's fins and replace them with legs, your creature will sink to the bottom of the ocean, then simply walk onto land to begin the next phase of its life.
Once you earn enough "points" by doing things like eating enough to survive (you can choose to be either a carnivore or herbivore), you'll be able to lay an egg that will let you design the next generation of your creature. Like in the primordial soup, in this form, you'll be able to devour smaller beings and fend off (or flee from) larger ones. Wright's sample creature resembled a three-eyed, three-legged alligator that swam lazily about under the sea after about 10 generations removed from the microbe form. At the microscopic level, you may be able to add cilia (tiny flapping "hairs" that let you move more quickly), flagella (whiplike projections that also help you move quicky), as well as defense mechanisms that will let you fight off larger beings.Įventually, you'll evolve into a multicellular being. Once you devour enough of your fellow microbes, you'll actually be able to evolve by using a universal editing screen.
As we saw, you'll begin your life as a microscopic organism swimming around in a primordial soup, devouring any microbes smaller than you and avoiding any that are larger that might potentially attack you. E3 2005 is under way and we made absolutely sure we took the opportunity to visit with Maxis' Will Wright to get an up-close demonstration of Spore, an all-new game that will let you evolve from the petri dish to interstellar travel.
