It wouldn't surprise me that come the final release that you would be able to make your own textures for 'em Maybe they didn't want people writing I LOVE HITLER on the skin. Jim: The painter is fairly complex though. Anyone know why that might be - it's a fairly standard feature in most character creators. I can't think of a valid reason why it can't let me decorate individual body parts. John: My surprise disappointment is the painting. Sigh.Īlec: Let's not say "okay, we'll do verdicts next week" minutes before starting a verdict next time The ability to not have feet attached to the body, for example, isn't a real useful limit.Īlec: (this stuff should be clip'n'saved for the verdict)Īlec: Bollocks, I'm about to go the tip. Kieron: But the complexity limit, I suspect, would be a hard enough limit - or the animation. But what I wanted to ask was, what are the valid complaints. Jim: Creativity usually benefits from some boundaries, though, doesn't it? John: But I think with this, it forces creativity to operate within its boundaries. Jim: But that's a problem with gamers: their imagination outstrips what developers are able to actually make. The restrictions in place - size, not being able to use feet without legs, etc. John: The complaints about the game seem to be what it can't do. So people are annoyed at its limitations, which is silly bearing in mind its capacity. John: Kieron, you put it right in your EG thing, where you say it doesn't make you a god. It reminded me of Eskil Steenberg talking about how to make tools: if they can be fun, productivity goes up. Jim: Yeah, let's talk about the actual act of using it. Having the save file be a picture file is just genius. So we should probably talk a bit about its functionality actually. Kieron: I think we should do something about it eventually - especially as people are putting up their own creations as the PNGs you just move in. John: I had a desire to make a sofa, but it never really worked out. There's a selection of genuinely awesome stuff out there - the ED209s, the planes, the chairs. Kieron: Yeah - I actually feel a little guilt on this. Jim: Actually it's a shame that our penis coverage, so to speak, has eclipsed the other clever creations. “The Spore Creature Creator is quite good.” Anyone have anything else to add?
