For those who just can’t wait for the upcoming critically hyped game Spore, the creature creator demo has been released for the public to download. Anyone can create their own unique creature with a wide range of different body parts, colors, behaviors, and your creation will be fully compatible with Spore when the full game is launched. Control your species as it evolves through the game; from a microbial life, to full-fledged technologically advanced civilizations. Unfortunately, this version does not include all of the features that will be present in the final creature creator. I suggest downloading it anyway so you can get a feel for how the system works.

The engine procedurally adds behavior, posture, and intelligence based on how your creature is edited during the evolutionary stages. The great thing about this engine, that some players may not fully grasp, is that it’s intentionally difficult to create a being that resembles a human or an animal that one might encounter on earth. The developers of Spore really want players to come up with their own unique ideas and share them with each other through their online Sporepedia. The game looks very exciting, and I’m anxious to try it out.

Update: I’ve just been told that this might be a leak, not a release. Just a heads up if the link gets removed for whatever reason.
