    What won't be out? The creature creator trial is out already.

    edit: oh the full game? It's a bit early for that isn't it?

    Re: Spore Creature Creator

    I found this press release though?

    Spore Creature Creator Available Worldwide Today
    Tuesday June 17, 3:01 am ET
    Spore Creature Creator Kicks off the Countdown to the Release of Spore this September

    REDWOOD CITY, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Prepare to test the limits of your imagination! Maxis, an Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS - News) studio, today released the Spore™ Creature Creator, an introduction to the highly-anticipated and groundbreaking video game, Spore™ which will ship worldwide this September.

    Available today for both PC and Mac, the Spore Creature Creator is a stand-alone product and creativity toy box where players create their own unique creatures, bring them to life with entertaining animations, and share them online with friends around the world. The full version of the Spore Creature Creator will be available for $9.99 at retail stores or by visiting www.spore.com. A free trial version of the Spore Creature Creator is also available today at www.spore.com. The trial version features 25% of the creature-making parts from Spore and lets players shape, paint and play with their custom-created creatures. Creatures made in the Spore Creature Creator can also be imported into the full Spore game, allowing players to populate their own galaxies when the game ships worldwide later this year.

    The Spore Creature Creator lets players create their own creatures, take them on a test drive, snap pictures, and make movies of them. Sharing pictures or videos with friends is as easy as the click of a button. Players can also share their creations with others by uploading to the Sporepedia™ at www.Spore.com. The Sporepedia is an extraordinarily vast online destination where people worldwide can search for and share Spore creations, comment on other player’s designs, check out celebrity creature creations and much more.

    “Today is the day we begin to see Spore come to life,” said Executive Producer and General Manager of Maxis, Lucy Bradshaw. “We’re excited to see what players will do with the powerful and intuitive creativity tools we’ve put into the Spore Creature Creator. Our team will be excitedly keeping an eye on the Sporepedia to check out creations made by players from around the world.”

    The ability to upload players’ creations to YouTube™ has also been integrated into the Spore Creature Creator. Players can import and upload video of their creatures’ moves directly to YouTube with only two clicks within the game. Spore will have its own YouTube Channel where all videos of users’ creations uploaded from the game will be showcased for the YouTube community to watch, share, rate and comment on. Check it out at http://youtube.com/spore.

    Love your creature so much you want the entire world to see? Post it to your blog for people to check out, even create an avatar for your favorite social networking site. And if you want to see your creature come to life in the real world – now you can! Visit www.zazzle.com/sporestore to upload your creature and turn it into a custom coffee mug, t-shirt, magnet, stickers and more! Zazzle allows you to instantly create cool products for your creature so you can take your creature on the go, wherever you go!

    Spore, the highly-anticipated game from the creators of The Sims™, gives players their own personal universe in a box. Create and evolve life, establish tribes, build civilizations, sculpt entire worlds and explore a universe filled with creations made by other gamers. Spore gives players a wealth of creative tools to customize nearly every aspect of their universe: creatures, vehicles, buildings, and even UFOs.

    The Spore Creature Creator is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB. The downloadable demo version is free. The complete version has an MSRP of $9.99 in North America. Spore ships for the PC, Mac, Nintendo DS™ and mobile phones on September 5, 2008 in Europe and September 7, 2008 in North America and Asia. Visit www.Spore.com to download a free version of the Spore Creature Creator, sign up for the Spore newsletter or check out all-new screenshots and videos from the game.

    Re: Spore Creature Creator

    Here's a few of mine (If I understand it correctly, all you have to do is save the PNGs below into your Spore creatures directory and you'll have them in your collection!):







    I just got the full version this morning so I'll be having fun creating even more.

    Re: Spore Creature Creator

    Hmm, I feel my lack of imagination is not unleashing the full potential of this tool! Not sure of the point of having 2000 DNA points; I reach the max complexity before running out of points.

    It's bit like City of Heroes; will probably spend more time creating things than actually playing the game!

    Re: Spore Creature Creator

    Some things are a bit annoying though, like there isn't really an option to have fur, as far as i can tell - which would be good, and there are a few more addons that would be nice in the weapons department, but otherwise it's pretty awesome!

    The graphics could also do with a bit of a boost imo, AA wouldn't go amiss

    EDIT: Ignore this.. worked fine, i'll put mine up too

    That is an incredibly ingenious way of doing it though.. steganographic game saves ftw!
