I was keeping this quite yesterday because i was not sure i could say. Last night i got a PM from Spore_Will, you know the login name of confirmed Will Wright. And this is what he had to say ...
Hydro,
Would you mind if I show a few of your creature pics and the video you made in my talk at GDC this year?
I want to talk a bit about how we're researching the fan expectations as we're designing the game.
-Will
In which i answered back ...
OMG would i ever!!!
Plz plz i would about die to have that shown in your presentation! Heck you have my approval to put it in the game if ya want! Thank you thank you thank you.

Then in the mean time betwen this i told my family and Areku because he helped with the video. And then a Cryptic message to Hugg because i though well Hugg has been doing this for as long as as much as i have perhaps he got a message too. In which Hugg said no and then said he e-mailed Will about it. In which Will answered back to me today these 2 messages.
Hydro,
Thanks, I appreciate it! I'll be talking about how we're looking to see what creatures fans are already making on websites and how we're trying to make sure they will all be possible in the game.
-Will
...oh, and it's not really a big secret or anything. It's ok if you tell others.
-Will
In which now that he said its ok that i felt ok that i could tell you all. So don't freak out too much. But I felt you guys should know that this is why Will is here.
Also to Will, plz plz make sure Hugg's Kazea gets in the presentation. I really think his work is just as good or better than mine in so many respects.
And thanks so much again for allowing Areku and my video in the GDC lecture this year.
