14 DAY TRIAL // Developing and publishing giant Electronic Arts along with Maxis have confirmed the upcoming availability of a downloadable demo, but also the full retail version of the Spore Creature Creator. Available starting June 17, 2008, the Spore Creature Creator will be the first opportunity for fans for a hands-on experience with Will Wright's highly anticipated "god game." Spore aficionados will be able to design their own species and even share it with their friends.
As you can imagine, your work will not be lost. If you like the creature you've designed with the Spore Creature Creator, you will be able to import it into the full version of Spore for both Mac and PC, when it is released on September 5, 2008 in Europe and September 7, 2008 in North America.
"We are thrilled to finally be putting the creative tools of Spore into the hands of players around the world," said Will Wright, chief designer, Maxis. "The amazing creations players design this summer will help populate the game universe we all enter when Spore ships this September, so in a sense, the Spore Creature Creator is the birth of Spore."
The demo version of the Spore Creature Creator will be available from the game's official website, worldwide and as a download, Inside Mac Games is reporting. Using 25 percent of the creature-making parts from Spore, the demo will enable players to mold, shape, paint and play with an unlimited number of creatures. As noted above, gamers will also be able to share their designs with their friends, and even upload them on YouTube.
The Spore Creature Creator will also be available as a full version in North America for $9.99. Most European territories have also been confirmed to receive the Creator for about the same price. The full version of the Spore Creature Creator gives players access to all the creature-making parts in the game.
As far as the full version of Will Wright's "god game" is concerned, it is due out for Macs on September 7th, this year. Spore is one of the few in its genre to arrive on Mac.
