LOL, Sort of M.C. Escher-ish.

I didn't even think of that! I was looking at his stuff a month or two ago and it must have seeped into my subconscious. Good thing I wasn't looking at Georgia O'keefe paintings. I'd probably get banned...

Anyone made a push-me-pull-you yet?

Like, wow, you can copy and paste these .PNG's to your 'my spore creations/creatures', and the full creature appears in Sporepedia next time you start the game? What magic is this?

The magic of invisible layers in png files!

Okay, that's cool! I guessing by invisible layers you mean the "chunks" which can hold arbitrary data. I'm guessing they have a Sporepedia link chunk. Awesome. (EDIT: Hmmm, it didn't work for me yet. I saved the PNGs there but don't have them in my Sporepedia yet.)

Here's my crap. I just used the initial cell (which is randomized, BTW, if you don't have the game yet) and added and removed stuff along the way. I tend to stand them up when they get arms. This first guy is intelligently named "Fr1stSpore". his eyes started off on his butt, but that bugged me so I moved them forward. He's a carnivorous aggressive predator all the way. He made only one friend species in the creature phase and only domesticated two other species in tribal phase. (The friendly species from the creature phase was automatically a pet in my tribe!) Everyone else was wiped out and eaten.

This is Kridu (the first random name I liked), an herbivore-turned-omnivore. I thought he was farily bloodthirsty during the cell phase, but the game pegged him as a solid herbivore. The neighbors in the creature phase are much less scary than Fr1stSpore's neighbors, so my early impression is that the game surrounds you with creatures of similar aggressiveness.

About the PNG's - they worked for me (gave creatures in the Sporepedia) when I started the game offline. I just copied the pics to 'my creations / creatures '. Obviously I couldn't get info/comments, but the creatures themselves displayed just fine.

I assume all the neccessary data for the creature is contained somewhere in the PNG file itself...

That is correct. The data for the creatures is spored in invisible layers of the PNG file. Hence why all you need to do is just copy the picture to your HD and you have the creature available.

EDIT -- Spored, lol

Great thread !

Knüpl, the first land creature I made:

Arr from the planet Harr (I played a lot of Pirates! beforehand):

A mixture between a pig and a cow - Schwuh (German for pig "Schwein" German for cow "Kuh", so Schwuh, which is pronounced "shwoo"):

 

[Abaddon]

I like Daft's evil thing, but i'd lose the bumb!

 

[Daftpanzer]

I made friends with the NorthClaw in the creature phase, and Bowsertops are hostile rivals now I'm in the tribal phase. I've also seen an epic Water Bear

Devourer

Hardback - the game turned up one of these as an epic, and it looked the part.

Omnipodal - LOLZ

@Abaddon, I like it that way!

Since Jimbo won't upload I'll post him here for you.

Cell, Creature, Hall and Vehicle (religious).

 

[Lord_Iggy]

These are some creatures which are suffering a bug which prevents me from uploading them, and some who were lost in a power outage. Thanks to Imageshack (I didn't directly link every picture, like they requested), I can still share them, but they're Civfanatics exclusives! You guys are the only ones who get to enjoy these creatures!

 

[Daftpanzer]

@Lord Iggy, most times my creatures say they are shared when they don't seem to be. Is that what happened to your creatures?

I think I only have 4 officially shared, though I've tried about 30. I did find that you can edit a creature, some minor edit so you can re-save it, then you have a chance to 'share' it again. I don't know if that can actually work though.

 

[GoodGame]

I've noticed that some creatures I share get labeled as "Maxis" and comments are then disabled for them. They can do that by the EULA, but I was very surprised it happened--not sure if it's a bug/feature. Editing and re-saving it doesn't fix that and it keeps the Maxis label (pissed off my inner megalomaniac).

I seem to have a lot of trouble sharing since I went from SporeCC to Spore. 90% of the time it fails. I wonder if there are server overloads or something else.
