Can my creature have fur, feathers, or spikes?

Yes, there are spike and feather body parts in the creature creator, and you can use skins that resemble fur.

Do I need an Internet connection to play Spore?

Yes, to register it, and to get content from other players. The latter is not reqired, so if you don't have a non-stop net connection, you can still play with it.

Can I make flying creatures?

Yes, if you have wings, you can fly. You can also use glitches of the Creature Creator to make a creature that looks like hovering.

Can I make aquatic creatures?

You can play with aquatic creatures in the tide pool phase, with 2D graphics, but if you want to grow into a real creature, you must venture onto the land.

Can I control a fleet of Spaceships?

No. The Space stage is not a strategy game, it is a sandbox game. You control a single UFO, but that is able to do literally ANYTHING. You can create or destroy whole civilizations, species, terrains, etc. You can even blow up whole planets! You can, however, ask some of your alliances to follow you with their UFO.

Are there different planet types ?

Yes! There are Earth-like planets, but you can also start playing on desert, icy, rocky, and lava planets. There are several other planet types that can't even be described simply with the earthly nature.

Can I play with Spore without an Internet connection?

You will need an Internet connection to register the game after the installation. After that, you can play offline, but if you never log in online, you can't use the content sharing system and the Sporepedia.

Which platforms will Spore be available on?

Spore, as we know it, is currently a PC exclusive game. Alternative versions were announced for DS and mobile phone. These are obviously much simplier than the PC game. (the DS version only includes the creature phase, and the mobile phone version is about the tide pool phase) A Wii version is also under developement, but it will be released later than the full game, and we don't know anything about it yet.

What can I create in Spore and how?

When you start the game, you can edit your single-celled creature with putting body parts on it, like spikes, eyes, swimmers, etc, and changing its color. In the creature stage, you can completely edit your creatures shape, like a piece of clay , and put body parts on it, that you can choose from a list of hundreds. You can also manipulate the body parts' size, and other attributes. In the tribal stage, you can create a hut for your creatures, and design their armor. In the civilization stage, you can build vehicles (ships, planes, and ground vehicles) and buildings, in a similar editor, with putting simple objects, and more advanced parts together, like lego, and texture them. In the Space phase you get an access to all of the previous editors, and a new one, the plant editor, that wasn't seen in a footage, and it is unknown how it will work.

What is Spore?

Spore is Will Wright's new masterpiece. Spore will allow players to start off a single-cell organism and work with this organism until it grows into a full-fledged creature, that gains sentinence, and when it conqers its home planet capable of making a spaceship and explore millions of planets!

How many planets can I explore in the Space phase?

In 2005, Will Wright said a hundread thousand. Later, he mentioned millions of planets, and even billions of planets were mentioned at a presentation. Actually, any of these numbers might be right. The planets are procedurally generated "on the fly", so the developer team don't have make them one by one, there will be as many as needed to fit into the gameplay.

Is Spore multiplayer? A MMORPG?

The short answer: No. Will Wright describes Spore's on-line feature as Asyncronous Sharing. Spore is unique in that while it has multiplayer elements involved there will be no direct live contact with other players. Players' created content gets saved to a master server and will be downloaded by the client-software of other players. In this way, a player will interact with the content created by another player in a non-intrusive manner.

How does the evolution aspect of the game work?

The game seemingly breaks down into several parts. From a single cell, to a multi-cell, to a primitive creature, to a member of a tribe, to a thriving city, and into space!
