![]() ![]() Pull legs, arms, feet, mouths, and various other animal parts onto your creature, resize and rotate and stretch and bend every bit of it, and then paint the whole thing to your delight.Įven though you can't yet do anything with the creatures you create - there's only a Test Drive mode, which lets your character walk, jump, and perform a few antics within a small circle of Spore space - just building them is enough to keep you occupied for weeks.Īnd then there's the social part: You can share each of your creatures in the Sporepedia, an online, public repository of Sporey things. You'll grasp Spore's intuitive interface in seconds, and after that your imagination takes reign. I've been playing it often since then: The Creature Creator is delicious, addictive fun. Last week, Maxis invited the tech press over to its office to test out the Creature Creator. Maxis hopes that during the next few months, people all over the world will download the Creature Creator and build enough interesting Spore animals to fill the full game when it's released. Will Wright calls Spore a "massively single-player" game, a clever way of saying that you'll play the game by yourself, but it'll be thoroughly social, populated by stuff that other people have created in their single-player games. Think of this as a pre-release demo, but with a twist. But today Maxis, Wright's game company, is releasing one portion of the game, the Creature Creator, for everyone for free. Spore, which Wright's fans have been salivating over for years, has been called Sim Everything, or Sim Evolution: It lets you watch and guide the development of a species from the lowest scale - the cellular level - all the way to the largest, when your species acquires advanced intelligence and can hop through outer space (in other words, it becomes Snoop Dogg). You may remember Will Wright from his previous hits - SimCity and The Sims, say? Spore, of course, is Will Wright's next video game. Here's the happier thing: The Spore Creator, the first bit of public code from the much-anticipated video game Spore, is now available for download. (Quick review: Firefox 3 has a few great features, but if you run many add-ons, you might consider waiting for the extensions to be ported over to the new version.) The first is Firefox 3, the latest version of everyone's favorite browser (unless your favorite browser is Opera, IE, or Safari). ![]() The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog is available for Mac and Windows PC.Two big fun things hit the Web today. Sega notes that The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog is not canon, which could give the company an out for explaining that Sonic the Hedgehog is actually very much alive and will star in future video games, movies, animated series, and fan fics, without diminishing the impact of the character’s very real death. (Players will also enjoy isometric platforming minigames, apparently, based on the above trailer.) Taking on the role of an original character, players must interrogate suspects like Knuckles the Echidna, Rouge the Bat, Shadow the Hedgehog, Espio the Chameleon, and Sonic’s other supposed friends to uncover the anthropomorphic antagonist responsible. The occasion? Amy Rose’s birthday, and a murder mystery party where Sonic is the victim. The setting? A train named the Mirage Express. The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog is a point-and-click adventure/visual novel. “He’s dead,” Sega said, in the announcement trailer for The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog, a brand-new, official, and, most importantly, free murder mystery game available now on Steam. ![]() Sega confirmed the death of Sonic the Hedgehog on Friday.
