Spore Creature Creator Details
Apr 16th
IGN has the scoop on the details of the Spore Creature Creator coming this June!
There will be 2 versions. One will be a trial version which contains 25% of the creature making parts from Spore and this version will be made free to download at www.spore.com and it will also be packed into the SimCity box.
The 2nd version is the better deal as it will include 100% of the parts. It will be at retail as a stand-alone product this June around the same time The SimCity Box is released. No price has been announced, but I’m sure it will be about $10.
IGN: So can you confirm the Spore Creature Creator will be in the SimCity Box when it ships in June?
Patrick Buechner: A trial version of the Spore Creature creator will be available for free through a variety of sources including as a download from Spore.com and in The SimCity Box. There will also be a version of the Creature Creator available at retail. The free Creature Creator has about 25-percent of the creature making parts from Spore. The retail version will have 100-percent. It’s up to the players to choose which version they want, but they’ll all be available at approximately the same time.
IGN: What’s going to be in the Creature Creator? Just the creature creation portion and the “test drive”? There’s no game content?
Patrick Buechner: The Creature Creator functions identically to the creator you’ll find in Spore. You’ll be able to create an unlimited number of creatures. Mold them, apply body parts, [and] paint them. Once you’ve made a creature, you can bring it into a test area where you can walk it around and try a variety of animations. While you’re in test mode, you’ll also be able to take movies and screenshots on a few different backdrops.
You can find a lot more details from IGN’s interview with Patrick Buechner, vice president of marketing at Maxis.
It’s true, get ready to start creating your Spore creatures this June!

IGN has confirmed that The SimCity Box will feature some form of the Spore creature creator. Earlier today, rumors regarding the addition of the creature creator swirled on Amazon and Joystiq , as a box image for The SimCity Box emerged with the Spore content promoted in the corner.
So this explains it, the article I posted 10 minutes earlier is in fact true! June cannot get here fast enough. I already have quite a few ideas on what creatures to create, so I’m ready – bring it on!
Spore Creature Creator could be included in The SimCity Box
Apr 15th
Joystiq reports that on Amazon’s page for The SimCity Box, it describes under the product features that the Spore Creature Creator will be packed in the box. If this is the case, then the Spore Creature Creator will indeed be coming out in the month of June (as reported below of a date of June 17th for a stand-alone version).
Joystiq also found a picture of the game’s box which when blown up, does confirm the fact Spore Creature Creator will be included. However, I’m not sure where the picture actually came from…
Spore Creature Creator for $10 on Amazon
Apr 15th
Spore Illustrated just pointed out thanks to one of their forum members that the Spore Creature Creator Editor is available for Pre-order at Amazon.com for the low price of $9.99. Their date is currently set to June 17, 2008 but please note that this isn’t an official date and can be subjected to change at any time.
Also, there still will be a free version, but with the $10 one we will get a lot more bells and whistles packed in. No details have been announced on what will be included, but you always get more if you pay, right?
