Kieron: I dunno - you can make a decentish trunk out of an arm minus a hand. John: Trunks, hooves, elephant-legs, tails - there's a bunch of stuff they've deliberately left out. As opposed to Jim's mum, who seems prudish, but hungers for the taste of flesh. Kieron: Yeah - things that seem easy are always nightmarishly hard. But if I paint something near photorealistic, and the ears are a bit off, you're more likely to say, "Shame about the ears." If I paint a crude stickman, you're unlikely to criticise the details. John: It's that cruel fate of the excellent. Kieron: Anyone care to be cynical and guess they'll be - say - a tentacle add on pack?

Especially because the things we want are fairly simple, stuff that could be tweaked for the full game. It's so easy that it seems like all games should work that fluidly.Īlec: I don't think it's disingenuous at all to want more. Jim: The thing that struck me was that most people won't think that though, KG, because it seems so natural.

plus a couple of hundred feet”.Īlec: Well, Garry's mod is the obvious reference, but this has a coherence and ease that Garrys can only dream of. And all the criticism is a case of us going “yeah, really good, but how about a mountain as tall as Everest. Essentially, for this kind of editor, content creator, they've climbed Everest. No-one's done anything like this in the field. But my general take on this is that it's an enormous, unparalleled achievement. Kieron: Yeah - the painting is the odd one. But occasionally it makes me a little disinclined to make something elaborate. Why can't I have the head yellow and the ears green? They're distinct parts, because I put them together myself.Īlec: Which is fair enough - its look is important. Kieron: Some people are getting nastier monsters with it, but they still have the tiny cute edge. I can't seem to make anything that doesn't look immediately like it was made in Spore When you could use Digimask to input your face, the first thing internet-dickwads did was stick post-it notes to their foreheard with "I hate black people" on it.Īlec: It's very much hampered by its own art style. Jim: Yeah, it's the Rainbox Six Vegas syndrome. It wouldn't surprise me that come the final release that you would be able to make your own textures for 'em Maybe they didn't want people writing I LOVE HITLER on the skin. Jim: The painter is fairly complex though. Anyone know why that might be - it's a fairly standard feature in most character creators. I can't think of a valid reason why it can't let me decorate individual body parts. John: My surprise disappointment is the painting. Sigh.Īlec: Let's not say "okay, we'll do verdicts next week" minutes before starting a verdict next time The ability to not have feet attached to the body, for example, isn't a real useful limit.Īlec: (this stuff should be clip'n'saved for the verdict)Īlec: Bollocks, I'm about to go the tip. Kieron: But the complexity limit, I suspect, would be a hard enough limit - or the animation. But what I wanted to ask was, what are the valid complaints. Jim: Creativity usually benefits from some boundaries, though, doesn't it? John: But I think with this, it forces creativity to operate within its boundaries.
Jim: But that's a problem with gamers: their imagination outstrips what developers are able to actually make. The restrictions in place - size, not being able to use feet without legs, etc. John: The complaints about the game seem to be what it can't do. So people are annoyed at its limitations, which is silly bearing in mind its capacity.
John: Kieron, you put it right in your EG thing, where you say it doesn't make you a god.

It reminded me of Eskil Steenberg talking about how to make tools: if they can be fun, productivity goes up. Jim: Yeah, let's talk about the actual act of using it. Having the save file be a picture file is just genius. So we should probably talk a bit about its functionality actually. Kieron: I think we should do something about it eventually - especially as people are putting up their own creations as the PNGs you just move in. John: I had a desire to make a sofa, but it never really worked out.
There's a selection of genuinely awesome stuff out there - the ED209s, the planes, the chairs. Kieron: Yeah - I actually feel a little guilt on this. Jim: Actually it's a shame that our penis coverage, so to speak, has eclipsed the other clever creations. “The Spore Creature Creator is quite good.” Anyone have anything else to add?
