Darkspore?

[MinionJoe]

Maxis has already said you can't make your own creatures. Not unless you win one of their "contests" and they choose your design to include in the game.

A lot of people have been asking "Why is Maxis making this? This isn't what Spore players have been asking for for two years!"

The answer is simple: They're not making Darkspore for the players. They're making Darkspore to showcase their code so they can sell it to other companies.

Is their code even that good?

it can be good if you dont remove a bunch of cool stuff before it is released.

like picking up creatures in spore.why'd they only give that to epics?
i clearly made it work in spore. it was a true or false value. set to false.

Are you serious? Or have you just not played Spore?

Spore is rife with null-return errors, indexing problems, and errant pointers.

It's junk code.

It's junk code.

i can agree with this. but i'd say for what it is it isnt that bad, i guess i enjoy fixing poor codes.

We all have our hobbies.

BTW, got the new computer in preparation for Civ V. Athlon II X2 (2.9GHz), 4GB DDR2, 800MB WD HD, ASUS motherboard with ATI 4200HD on board.

It's only marginally better than my old system, but this one was cheap (<$500 including OEM Win7 Pro) and can be expanded VERY easily (up to Phenom II X6, 16GB DDR2 (w/ overclockability), and any single video card requiring less than a 600W power supply (I'm looking at getting an ATI 5750 soon).

Was up until 3am tinkering with it. Can't quite get Dawn of War II to run right on it...

So. Yeah. Hobbies.

That's the reason I was asking.
