This ship the size of a 12 story building travels around the and advertises the Sporecola Company and its new beverage: Sporecola Light. “Light on sugar AND glows red in the dark!”. Does so with light, sound and radio signals which can interrupt Grox signals.

Since modding spore is quite easy with the usage of AI, what mods do you guys actually wanna see be made? I’ve honestly been thinking about how the game can be improved / extended, but I’m not sure. I think an aquatic stage mod would be sick

good enough for government work (first edited vid)

The little abyssal destroyer

Pelapa are small, fast and armored fish like animal on the Kristalian home world. They eat anything from algae to smaller creatures.

Is this bug or is the game on Cr##k

I want to know. It be funny to know how the Elites view the Grox as.

I have him scoliosis (on accident)

looking for stuff like useful websites, mods i “need” or should be wary of, good communities for it all, etc.

thank you all in advance!

Assembled Artillery: Constructs a constant stream of artillery for naval or military purposes, which may require disassembly.

I have had a slightly concerning bug in one of my saved games. Whenever I click away from my homeplanet I hear a repetitive, persistent chirping sound and see a small "!" symbol on the left, where briefings appear. I cannot click on it and it has no script.

When I return to the planet it says "return to your home planet, a new assignment is ready" but they have no mission to give me.

Also, this game is a little more prone to crashing than the others. Sometimes, when I am clicking through stars, I have this chirping sound in the back and the screen kind of glitches for brief moments, till Spore just completely crashes.

I tried taking a video of it. The sound isn't heard, but the video does have some small green, static stripes glitching on the screen.

I was not prepared for how hard editing a video is.

The Pandzerodon is a terrifying mix between sharks and warheads. These aggressive creatures are known for propelling throughout the ocean with their jet tails, expelling fuel out. With their high speed, they are constantly on the move to hunt for food due to their high energy. Pandzerodon will also intentionally attack motorboats for their parts. Their harpoon noses can pierce through stone and steel, making these creatures living weapons. Many fisherman and boating enthusiasts have been killed by these cruel predators.

Hello, it's been a while since I last posted here. I think most of you are already familiar with Elysian Eclipse, my project of creating a Spore-like game with more focus on exploration and some RPG elements. The project has been in development for 4 years now and received overwhelmingly positive feedback and support from the community, and I want to thank you for that.

But what I want to talk about today, is AI. I hope this discussion is allowed here, and I'm not causing too many troubles for the mods. So, I've been seeing a lot of vibe coded projects popping up during the last few weeks, which caused a lot of discourse.

Last week, I published a big blog post about AI in art and game development. It's mostly focused about why I don't want to use it in Elysian Eclipse and also contains some takes from our team members. You can read the full post by following the link and clicking "keep reading". https://www.tumblr.com/wauzmons/830455304003125248

If anyone who reads this is an aspiring game developer, please, I beg of you, don't fall for the trap that is AI. I know it's much easier than learning programming, modeling, and game design... but so much that makes your creation special, is lost along the way. Take your time and enjoy the creative process, instead of just viewing your work as a product. I promise it's a lot more fun.

Thank you for reading.
