This isn't an expansion or patch, it's a website. As far as I know, you do not need to download or install anything. I believe it works for all systems. At the bottom of the OP, I shall post a link to a contest thread in a moment.

I had a go with this. Pretty fun, I enjoyed it, but the spines were a pain to manage

Colours are hard...

It crashed my browser. -_- I'd been loading a video on another tab for the past half hour and was almost finished, now got to start again.

I'm steering well clear of CC2D.

Rebecca1208 · 19-09-2009, 12:19 PM

Ouch o__O Sorry to hear that happening. I haven't heard of this happening to anyone else.

amoeba36 · 19-09-2009, 07:27 PM

I think it's my computer. It's a bit feeble.

RedAlertOn · 19-09-2009, 08:14 PM

weird...

TOTALLY OFF TOPIC
also becca you shud change the 1000 subs in you're sig

Takben · 19-09-2009, 09:20 PM

I don't see why not.

PS lol "Are you high?"

Rebecca1208 · 19-09-2009, 09:43 PM

Red- Yes, I should

I'll do it when I hit 2000. Since my last check, it's around 1850? Thanks.

Takben- What? I always add a random poll option

Nice one, Bruuut

RedAlertOn · 19-09-2009, 11:28 PM

nice bruuut

STARFISH75 · 19-09-2009, 11:51 PM

Looks great. Reminds me of Spore:Creatures on the DS

I get the impression the hero game is based on that, and maybe the web mini game

I'm off to have a look

forzamilan90 · 19-09-2009, 11:52 PM

you can't beat 3D man

Rebecca1208 · 20-09-2009, 01:03 AM

Of course not, but it's still something new to try out

Many people are getting bored with Spore.

And I think Spore Hero is related to this.

STARFISH75 · 20-09-2009, 12:57 PM

That was really cool.

Imagine if they did a full blown 2d game. maybe a platform game or something

TheMrZ · 20-09-2009, 02:48 PM

yeah, because Spore was always intended as a platformer...

Could they finish the first game before doing all that.

Mattadon · 20-09-2009, 03:12 PM

On the 2D spore creator thinggy, It doesn't list me as a creator under the sporepedia so I'm a little depressed by that, also there is no ordering system, no part flipping and awkward spine editing.

Despite all this, I love the stylised look to the creatures and think the 2D creator is a great idea!

EDIT: I'd buy a spore platformer if it was any good. (But they need to finish fixing the main game first like TheMrZ said).

Rankrotten · 20-09-2009, 03:41 PM

There's a contest for 2D creations, and win a chance to get a feature!

Rebecca1208 · 20-09-2009, 04:08 PM

Indeed. I made a thread in Spore Creative

For some reason that looks a lot more detailed (and like a fish) in 2D...

EDIT:

I'm experiencing an annoying glitch: I can't load any of my Creatures! Not even the most basic and simple ones that I made when Patch 3 and C&C didn't exist yet!

Inthractus · 20-09-2009, 06:18 PM

No disrepect to anyone who enjoys playing with that 2D creator, but I can't see the point of it myself. I mean it looks awful. Probably just me like!! I don't think I'll be bothering with it like.

TheMrZ · 22-09-2009, 10:16 PM

well, the cave-paintings look it actually quite cool. You'd imagine it's what your tribal folks would draw on the inside of that hut.
