SPORE CREATURE CREATOR AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE JUNE 17

Free Demo and Complete Retail Versions Deliver Powerful Creativity Tools to Create, Play and Share

Redwood City, CA - April 25, 2008 – Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) and Maxis today announced that a free downloadable demo, and complete retail version of the Spore™ Creature Creator will be available starting June 17, 2008. The Spore Creature Creator gives Spore fans, and those who are creatively curious, the first hands-on opportunity to design their own species and share it with their friends. All creatures designed with the Spore Creature Creator can be imported into the full retail version of Spore for PC and Mac when it launches on September 5, 2008 in Europe and September 7, 2008 in North America.

“We are thrilled to finally be putting the creative tools of Spore into the hands of players around the world,” said Will Wright, chief designer, Maxis. “The amazing creations players design this summer will help populate the game universe we all enter when Spore ships this September, so in a sense, the Spore Creature Creator is the birth of Spore.”

The free demo version of the Spore Creature Creator will be available worldwide via download from www.spore.com. The demo lets players shape, paint and play with an unlimited number of creatures, using 25 percent of the creature-making parts from Spore. Gamers can then share these creations with their friends, including seamless uploads to YouTube. The demo will also be included in the The SimCity™ Box, which ships on June 23.

A complete retail version of the Spore Creature Creator will also be available in North America for $9.99 and most European territories for €9.99, which gives players access to all the creature-making parts in the game.

I pooped my pants at the excitement of yet another Spore thread!

Sir, the other one is deader than Paris Hilton's virginity. Is a new one truly so inappropriate?
If so, a simple merging is requested.

***Wil*** · #4 05-18-2008, 08:02 AM

Nah, if I thought it were necessary, I’d have done it faster than… er… whatever.

Strike Witch · #5 05-18-2008, 12:44 PM

Some sort of fast spore-thing?

***Wil*** · #6 05-18-2008, 12:53 PM

Faster than Spore’s production, I think not.

I should'a posted this a while ago. My laptop can't run it

Strike Witch · #8 05-19-2008, 01:03 AM

I shall claim it...and make some sort of amorphous, cute blob.

***Wil*** · #9 05-19-2008, 01:10 AM

Scuba Toad?

Chubfish · #10 05-19-2008, 10:16 AM

I'll make Chubfish! And it will have strong arms to swim!

I'm exited, but I'm not going to pay $5-$10 for something I'll included in a couple of months time, so I'll just have to be happy with the demo.

Yes, I once used to go on spending frenzies and used to buy all fo the sim 2 expansions and all of the best rugby gear, but now I'm saving for a car, guitar, and several games, so I have to be stingy now.

The creature I plan on having will be adorable fat, fluffy, furry herbivore that can smash with his large but wooly and soft paws. D'AAAAW

This looks interesting despite me having no idea what Spore is and such. I checked the home page and all I found out was it was about evolving. Other than that I'm clueless. But as I said this looks interesting and I'll look into it tommorow or something.

Bullet Magnet · #14 05-20-2008, 12:43 PM

Check it...

Oddey · #15 05-22-2008, 11:09 AM

Check it...

Ok then... Checked it and I'm still oblivious. I mean can you play the game or is it in production? And where can you buy it if it's already been made? (Note that I did not check the links except SligsStorm's first link to a video. I needed to go, so I had to skim through.:P)

The game Spore is not yet released. This is a small part of the game which you can now get and play with, to be ready when you buy the full game.

Bullet Magnet · #17 05-22-2008, 05:21 PM

Well, in a month, you can.

The creature editor may be a small part of the game, but the paid-for version is a complete piece of software in itself. Not only will the creatures you make be available for download when the game is released, but like in the full game, your models can be exported to other 3D modelling programs, even CAM software and hardware for manufacture.

I guess this video will explain my emotion before and after the demo's release:

Strike Witch · #19 06-14-2008, 01:23 AM

...but the free demo has been online already.

If you really want it, I'm sure you can find it, but good legal boys should wait some 3 days or what-have-you.

But i'm no boy.

So here's my shrimp-thing.

It's the squelchier War of the Worlds!

My friend Rybolton on Sporeum, who somehow got the editor the normal way, has posted screen shots of all the parts and pre-made colour schemes available in the editor. Possible spoilers.
