Mad Dog Spores

The above picture is my first attempt at creating a creature using the Spore Creature Creator. Playing God put me in a Bedknobs and Broomsticks state of mind while designing it, so I named it Traguna.
What’s the deal, you ask? Spore is a new video game coming out this fall. I’m not a big gamer (I still think Doom II is pretty cool) but I may have to slap down $50 for this PC game.
The concept is revolutionary. You create life from the ground up, following evolution from single-cells to creatures, tribal culture, civilization, and into space.
For right now, EA Games has released its creature creator for download. I spent this afternoon making nonsensical animals and making them run around, growl, and dance.
There’s a built-in YouTube upload, too. See more of my creations (including video clips) after the break…
