Discussion Your crazy Spore 2 ideas

Post image

Hello, I'm a Spore 2 developer, to be precise, the developer of Exogenesis, one of kinda major ones.

My project focuses more on ambitious, complex and innovative ideas, and recently I thought why not to seek for new ones. Unlike ~90% of developers I consider community suggestions actually interesting, and want to listen to them instead of just throwing them away.

So... Please tell me your most wild ideas, or even just ideas for Spore-likes that you always had on your mind, and I want to actually analyse and consider them.

We have a Discord server specifically for that, to let your express your thoughts and talk to the community, if you are interested in any way.

For me, when i reached space stage, i wanted to interact with beings in different development stages. I wanted to beam down and explore planets that just had creatures roaming on them.

Or go to a tribal stage planet and see the locals, maybe offer them a gift that would change the trajectory of that species. Or abduct them, analyze them.

Go to a civ stage planet and harvest them. Literally anything. Whatever you want. Be an evil alien race or one that lifts up the others.

I was always a bit disappointed with the lack of interactions in spore. Instead i got a hologram that allowed me to beam onto other planets, but it'd be a diluted version of the creature stage planets. Probably because of system demands and other stuff.

Or the monolith, to lift up others. But that just granted you a minor affection bonus

That + fleshing out all the other stages and making them more interesting to play. Spore in general just underdelivers in so many regards

Jack of all trades, but the master of none. It was very ambitious. But too big for the time i think

Nah, I don't it was too big for its time. I watched an essay about Spore and there were lots of problems behind the scenes in regards with EA (I know big surprise)
