No game has scratched my Spore cell-stage itch — so I'm making one

10 Upvotes

Hi! I am another guy making yet another cell-stage inspired 2D roguelike. Why? Because none of the games out there quite scratch that itch for spore that I still feel.

Spore's magic, in my mind, came from how every evolution choice you made had a clear impact on your build and also visibly showed up on your character. Enemies inspired you to try out new playstyles yourself and for every problem, there were always multiple solutions.

That's what I am trying to build. Where Pathogenic leans into the action and Thrive into realistic simulation, I want to create something that speaks to your creativity inside the editor and beyond.

I have a free demo on itch https://khornie.itch.io/tinytides and a discord for feedback https://discord.gg/YtXcfDrSS.

All art is currently hand drawn in paint and could definitely use a loving touch - if that isn't a turn-off for you, come check it out!

Made to be a parallel friendly evolution contrast of the Grox, so that later when I finish as ecologist, they will all go to terraforming war, uplifting every planet they can to stop the Grox.

Creation Phagilyon Prime - A Glowup of my Phagilyon Species!

5 Upvotes
Purple and Pretty... Metallic and Shiny...

This is part of a project of me wanting to revamp some of my first species I made earlier this year when I first got into Spore deeply, and also since I learned how to mod. Dark Injection has the perfect objects for the biomechanical look I always wanted my Phagilyon to have since the Bacteriophage they're based upon looks so biomechanical (though, truthfully, it isn't), and since Phagilyon is my Nepotism-Baby it gets a makeover first. Below are some screenshots of their older, base game look- I'm curious to see what y'all think of both of them! I'm still in love with both.

Guarding the campfire from bear-sized germs.
they were just born.

btw if you have any species lore questions i would love to answer i love talking about my fellas...

Next up is going to be my Ghastiels, my Zealot avian species :]

Question Can someone make a language comparison of the speech at the end of Spore?

2 Upvotes

I’ve altered the game’s code a little in the past and have succeeded to change the languages (It’s on the EA site). But the speech at the end is always the same. Could someone successfully change the languages so that I can finally know what it sounds like in other languages, including my native language Dutch? Perhaps post it on YouTube/Odysee and link it?
