Better shot of my pack prior to all being eaten alive with only my escape...
Ruins on my home-world...current desktop on home system.
Nice view of the home-world and its neighbor.

Economic win ummm...FTW!!!111!1one
Shots from other games:

« on: September 15, 2008, 05:31:06 am »
I would love MORE clothing choices!! So far the ones there are good and with some creativity you can make some cool outfits.
I would be happier making even more though.

Another update:
Issue resolved on my game...I simply went to war on one of the tribes and then after that everything worked.
Odd, but still sucks for those who cannot get past it or want the 'Friendly' achievement, whatever it is called...

Update:
My roommate, with a different computer and his own copy of the game, as well as a more traditional creature, has the same bug...
This seems to be an issue, in my house at least.

« on: September 14, 2008, 07:28:27 am »ive had it happen too, i save before very stage just in case.
You could piss off some folks and hope they destroy your hut forcing a level restart.
Or go combat and try to take out what remains.
Had creatures kill the leader, had others take over my village...tried gifting to maybe break the cycle...nothing.
NOTE: He did conduct the band once...for the first tribr I friended...

« on: September 14, 2008, 05:36:45 am »
So my latest game is borked...I cannot play through tribe as I want since the tribal leader just sits there and does the same animation of waving his staff and will not:
- Conduct the band
- Fight
- Even do the mundane 'Toast a Marshmellow' animation
I am just on the boarder of aggressive and adaptable (Or whatever they are called in this phase, and I can't finish by killing of the other tribes (My grunts will fight) or I enter Civ with the wrong style of play.
By the way the freak will do the gifting process and his raindance/beastmaster skills...but that is about it.
About to delete the save here folks...any help?
This is my creature at tribal stage also:

sorry to resurrect this post.
I sent an email to MaxisCactus about this (she contacted me first) but didn't get a reply yet. Maybe she didn't receive my email or it got caught in junk mail.
I was referring to the 3D models production in Australia.

Spore: General / Re: Working on a Spore Story Site - Feedback Needed
« on: September 14, 2008, 05:16:20 am »That looks really good so far, Legion!
I was hoping Spore would have a little photo album kind of thing like the Sims has, but no dice. I used to like making spoofy news stories in that about the goings-on in my neighbourhood. [shameless_plug] http://thesims2.ea.com/exchange/story_detail.php?asset_id=192313 [/shameless_plug]
I'm clueless about web design, but.....is there any way you could kind of expand this idea? I mean, back in 2006 with the demonstration alongside Brian Eno, Will Wright was talking about a Multiverse Report that told you about how many people had killed your creature or befriended it and so on. Yet in the game, you just get three little sentences in Sporepedia.
What I'm driving at here though is....is there a way you could make that layout into a kind of template? Where you have the solar system view at the top and we can add our own planets in the boxes underneath? That way, we could collaboratively combine the stories of our own home systems and have our own kind of miniature Gamingsteve collaborative multiverse story thingy.
It's just an idea though, what you have is already pretty awesome. The spinning planets look great! I'm glad the community is working on backstories. I tried to do a Vemnix one in the Mashon comic thingy but it got so fiddly and sluggish from my slow connection I gave up.
Thanks for the feedback, and thanks to all!
Unfortunately I know squat about web site programing, designing it is just art...but I use a program called iWeb (by Apple and SOOOOOO easy) to make my site.
To incorporate others work I would need to have people send me all their gifs and screens and write up their descriptions...I suppose it would be possible but I would have to do a lot of work and with a wife, two kids under 3 and a fulltime job that I drive an hour to daily, I dunno if I will ever finish what I started so far!
I have to play around with it more. Spore has kept my attention longer then any other recent game (Save Warcraft) in terms of days straight, so I might just stick with it. If I do decided to include some fellow Gaming Steve peeps I will let you know!
Oh and the unnamed thing is my fault...too lazy and did it quick so I forgot about the name. Will fix it.

Spore: General / Re: NOOO! Tribe Leader Abducted. :( GOD DAMNIT!!
« on: September 13, 2008, 04:36:11 pm »So I'm going through Tribe phase on Hard, and it's been a while since I saved. Someone's goofy-looking UFO appears and starts acting suspiciously, hovering back and forth over my tribe area.
"Oh god, no, please... not this..." were my thoughts, as I've seen it posted before.
...And, of course, it happened. HE TOOK MY TRIBE LEADER AND BROKE MY GAME.
Now I have to revert to the save I had god-knows how many hours ago. Argghh, how frustrating!
Just wait... just wait until I evolve. I'll find you. I swear, I'll... find you...
Ummm..why revert to a save? One of your other peeps will become the new leader.

I have a non maxed out creature and a non maxed out tribal version of him also had this happen....
Pretty lame Maxis, let's get it fixed...and no I am not apologizing for being mean, this is a paid for product that should work at its BASIC level, which is what the community features are.
I can handle game balance issues, crash bugs and what not...but come on. Facebook and Myspace can get the community thing right, as can WoW and EQ2, so this is inexcusable.

Please take a look and give some feedback on the site I am building for my first creatures and their home system! Nothing big now, just working out the look and layout.
It's only one page so it might take you 5 minutes to check it out:

The Seta Empire thanks you!!

Spore: General / Re: How to capture your planet as animated gif
« on: September 12, 2008, 10:40:28 am »
Open up the cheat console:
Ctrl + Shift + C
Go to the planet you want to get and descend to the surface, or orbit at least where you are NOT in the space view, and type:
capturePlanetGIF (Caps do not matter I believe)
Look in your animated avatar's folder and you will find it there.
Hope that helps!! Here is another one of mine (Since you posted one of mine in your post heh):
I have a LOT on my system now heh.

« on: September 12, 2008, 10:29:43 am »
I finally saw an Epic that was not one of my own creatures. It was... Larrot, made by WeAreLegion. It was sort of a giant parakeet. I took some screen shots, but it was very late last night, so I didn't look at them yet. I'll post this weekend if they aren't horrible.
Also, slightly off-topic: I ran into this guy within SECONDS of starting my first try at the Civ phase. It was cool, but sort of irritating to have an epic creature inside my city walls, when I (a) didn't really know what I was doing yet, and (b) had no money. He destroyed everything I built. I finally had to just ignore him (inside my city!!) while I went about the business of setting up some trade routes. He wasn't eating people, and didn't seem to be bothering my city hall, so it was okay to just let him roost in one of my vacant lots.
Then, later when I had money coming in a faster rate, I was able to build two turrets at a time, so one could shoot him while he destroyed the other. Wait awhile for money to replenish, and repeat. I burned through at least 10 to 12 turrets before I finally laid that sucker to rest.
I would like to apologize for my Larrot's misbehavior. Completely not acceptable...I will have a talk with him.
If you could post some pics that would be sooooo cool!!! I think I got your comment on him as well in the Sporepedia!

« on: September 12, 2008, 10:24:41 am »This has been known for quite some time. It's on the box, so it's not a surprise.
Have to agree...I mean one account per purchase/serial number is pretty standard for online (or sudo-online) games.
