I apologise for not putting up a notice previously but due to illness I’ve been unable to do so. I am currently on the mend and will hopefully be back to updating Spore Daily a bit more often before the end of the year.
But if you were wondering, no! I haven’t abandoned Spore. I’ve just had some more important things to deal with. :-)
If you really want to keep up to date with everything Spore I recommend Space Oddity’s Spore Blog or Spores Illustrated.
During my absence the first “parts pack” was announced for Spore, called the “Cute and Creepy Parts Pack”. As the name suggests, it adds a bunch of cute and/or creepy creature parts.
However the addon will also include the ability for your creature to “beam down” to a planet and wander the surface once you’ve reached the Space phase of the game, something a lot of players wanted. You’ll also be able to create custom missions for the Space phase which I guess is something people would want but perhaps were unaware they could have!
I’m not sure what the price for this pack will be elsewhere in the world but here in Australia it’s going to be $29.95 which is relatively cheap compared to the usual Sims 2 expansion price ($40-45) but still feels a bit pinchy in the wallet region when the game itself is still so new. It really feels like they could have pared down this content a little and released it in the first major patch as a further incentive not to pirate the game.
That said, the content is of interest to me (more parts won’t go astray) and the price is not exorbitant so I am likely to pick the expansion up, either directly or potentially from Santa!
