The Fifth Day - Let there be living creatures
The game Spore by Will Wright is coming and its publisher Electronic Arts released the Creature Editor as a standalone program in advance. To keep it short: It's amazing! - And highly addictive.
There is a free demo version of the creature editor available, the full version costs about 10 Euros. Coupled with the editor is a very powerful and inventive sharing mechanism. You can upload creatures to the internet (you have to create an account at EA for that) or share the creature directly. In the first week more than one million creatures where uploaded to the online creature-directory Sporepedia! EA managed to embed the creature data into the creature's png, so its image is itself in some kind of way. Adding data to an image file is not new, but Spore puts the data directly into the image itself. This way only an unedited image will work as a creature file (the first biometric pass in a game). If you want some information, pictures and movies on the game, or want to download the creature editor, visit the Spore homepage Comments
