I would like to see a second Spore game. I spent hours on this game back in the day conquering enemy cities and building a galactic empire. Good times.

Spore Heroes was peak
I just remember the endless stream of dick monsters and other abominations that came from the creature creator.
Wish this game still ran, but Apple killed it by removing 32 bit or OpenGL binaries.
This is one of the best games I played in my life. I believe I still remember the items and tabs in creator menu. Also this game made me start running ant farm at home
a- fricking men, dude
Darkspore did exist
There are a lot of games like it. Check out Swallow the Sea on Steam.
Elysium Eclipse is an indie-dev spiritual successor, and is looking pretty promising, check it out.
Or at least a spiritual successor that incorporates the initial ideas the dev team were going for before cutifying and simplifying the game (this may already exist and I’m just unaware?)
I’d love it but I can’t honestly see it happening again anytime soon. The current game industry is very risk averse compaired to the mid 2000s and no studio carry the kind of weight and trust that Maxis did in those times. The only reason this game got greenlit is because Maxis had a track record of making out there concept (for the time) games like Sims and SimCity not only work but huge successes. I do hope we loop back around though and someone makes another attempt at this concept because it could be amazing with modern tech
There is a ds version called Spore Creatures that’s pretty cool
This game had so much hype and then it just fell off the face of the earth for me
So,
I had the idea to 100% this game, without knowing if I could,
I don’t want to spoil too much, but
Maxing out the 1st stage was relaxing,
Maxing out the 2nd stage was epic, defeating the giants that spawned was a feat in itself.
Maxing out the 3rd stage was boring, and repetitive
Maxing out the 4th stage was fun, just blitzkrieg!
Maxing out the 5th stage, well, isn’t really doable without mods. We need a higher ceiling for everything.
The first part was waaaaaay to short
I was just thinking that the other day either a second game or an HD re-release with some better features
The Space Age portion of the game is honestly amazing. No other game scratches that terraforming -> colonizing itch. You find a planet completely uninhabitable and grind up your technologies to get it livable for a single mining colony! Then through more work make it a spice trade or defense port power house! Trade your way across the universe or destroy entire planets with a single bomb! The game was ahead of its time!
I def put hundreds of hours into it. One of my fav growing up
You could do Spore for real with a modern engine, too. Actually have it flow between stages as intended, not just going “oh you got to level 5 as a cell, time to be a land creature now.”
I wish the end game scaled better though, got super repetitive once you conquered the immediate area around your star system.
True, recently tried it for the first time, and I let my mom play around a little to keep my cell alive. now it’s not my game, it’s her’s.
This game had “Do better in the second entry” written all over it. Everyone wanted to love this.
