Spore expansion pack to enable flora editor
Spore executive producer Lucy Bradshaw has said in a recent interview that developer Maxis is already planning Spore expansion packs involving editors rather than simply new assets, one example given was a flora editor which was not included in the full life simulator game.

To quote: “When we started Spore, we were thinking about how we’d make an engine that had the possibility of expansion, so yes, we’ll add to the experience. I think, however, we have a very cool opportunity to take Spore in a few different directions too.

The editors are so cool and fun, that we want to advance those as well as the gameplay that we put into the core game. We are not shipping with the flora editor. Sorry. It’s something we eventually want to get out there as it is fun to work with.”

Spore will be released for PC and Mac in Europe on September 5th and in North America on September 7th, 2008. — Quotes via Eurogamer

“It’s not that they didn’t work on the game, its just that they purposefully didn’t put everything in it so they could milk more money out of the consumer later. EA is the shittiest business practitioner out there.” what do you mean… thats the whole point of business.. lower cost and maximize profits… if you dont like it dont buy it

Aw, come on! Give ‘em a brake. It’s not like we all would have waited another year for them to add more features! The initial release wea 4 gigs anyway. Heck I’ll by the expantion no matter, spore needs more plant species. And look at the last release of games like zoo tycoon, it has at least 4 expansions so its not just ea thaat does it. Creapy and cute was pretty inexpensive so I would have no problem buying another expansion, I just hope they decide to go through with this idea.

This is an update from august Galactic adventures I got it but.. after a while I thought up some new creators such as an item creator you can choose to make it an ornament rock or handheld and you can use some building items along with paints and parts! Now you can’t just choose to get out of your spaceship you need a MISSION >.< LAME! Also they have audio music and stuff I wish you could download your own stuff and use that also make an anthem save it and use it! you can also make effects why not use new paints parts lights and combine to make an ultimate effect or something only used once.

Come on give Maxis a break it’s harder than it looks to create a virtual universe. Everything eventually comes down to the space stage so it’s better to expand that than other features.
