Spore: creature editor avaliable from June
Thanks to Aaron for bringing this to my attention, Maxis have announced that the creature editor for Spore will be available from a date in June to be confirmed. As with everything Spore related though, it’s not as clear cut, with not 1 but 2 versions available on the same day:
“IGN: So can you confirm the Spore Creature Creator will be in the SimCity Box when it ships in June?
Patrick Buechner: A trial version of the Spore Creature creator will be available for free through a variety of sources including as a download from Spore.com and in The SimCity Box. There will also be a version of the Creature Creator available at retail. The free Creature Creator has about 25-percent of the creature making parts from Spore. The retail version will have 100-percent. It’s up to the players to choose which version they want, but they’ll all be available at approximately the same time.”
-Taken from IGN.
So the full version of the creature editor will be a retail product. Not a total surprise, but what do you feel comfortable paying, for something that you ultimately will be getting in the box release?
Aaron is happy to pay $5, I wouldn’t want to pay more than £5 for the creature editor. What would you pay?

thank god for that….
at least you would have something to do while waiting for it to come out…
plus the creatures you creat will be in the game when you buy it so really good…
i would get the 25% one 1st then if i would like more parts i would get the 100% (have to buy) one…
i would pay about £3 for the 100% VERSION…
cant wait…
count down begins now!

Nothing yet on date, Mullen…I’d pay £3, saying that you can see a £2.99 price tag looming!

Congrats on the post record. I’m nearing 200 in under a year. I started this iteration of my life after SOBCon07, and SOBCon08 is in 2 weeks.
