Spore Creature Creator Out June, Demo As Well
Gaming supergod Will Wright's latest creation, the "everything sim" Spore, seems to be shaping up quite nicely, with it definitely looking like the sim game to end all sim games. I mean seriously, after building and controlling a world/universe, where else is there to go?
For those of you who can't wait till the September release, here's some good news: The Spore Creature Creator, which allows you to mold and give birth to creatures for use in the full game, has been given a solid release date of June 17, via download.
The software will set you back $9.99US (hopefully you won't have to buy it separately in the final product), but if you just want to wet your feet or have a glimpse of what the fuss is about, then a free demo will be up on the same day via the Spore site.
It's great when developers decide to allow potential customers to start developing content and mods for a game before it's release. It immediately creates a strong community scene upon the product's launch and therefore makes it much more accessible to newer players and gives users a personalized experience from the beginning. Pretty neat, but I don't know if I would spring the cash till I know for sure that spore lives up to all the hype. Will you?
