Future Game Request: Spore

dragon3700 · 06-28-2008, 11:58 AM

Game Name: zSpore

Describe the Gameplay, include button mapping, applicable illustrations, and any useful links: A lot of people are waiting for the release of Spore. I am just starting C# and XNA Game Design for the Zune, and I was wondering if after Spore came out, a group could design a downgraded (wicked downgraded) version of Spore for the Zune. Controls can't really be decided yet, but Up would most likely move your creature Down, Down would move your creature Down, etc. The Middle Button of the DPad could be the select button, back would enter some kind of menu, and the Play/Pause button could do something helpful. Again, this is only a guess to what the controls might be, seen as how the game actually isn't out yet. WE could run it along the lines of the IPhone Spore, just with out the touch sensitive screen.

+ YouTube Video

Tips/Suggestions for the Development Team: I can't think of anything at the moment

Just a note, if yuo don't have anything nice to say, don't say it. I was just wondering if a group of people and me would want to get together and try and make a downgraded version, or something similar to Spore.

I don't mean to be rude, but there is no point in suggesting something that could not plausibly happen. At least think of how it would work in detail before mentioning your idea.

Keep in mind that the iPhone simply annihilates the Zune in performance. There is LOTS that you can do on the iPhone that is simply impossible (not improbably or hard; plain impossible) to do on the Zune. But good luck to anyone who tries to make this.

I thought about making this same request, But the Spore that would be possible on the Zune would be NOTHING like the original.
The Iphone version looks great, but the Zune version wouldn't even be close to that.
But if a team were gathered, a "spore like game" might be possible.
Good Request...

Interesting idea, but anything spore themed on the zune would be either a wreck running at 2 fps or a drastically altered so much you couldn't call it Spore.

Live with the PC version for now. I can't play because my comp sucks /cry

The zune may not be able to do a spore game like anything else can, but what the zune could do would be to have a simple version of the creature creator, with zune customized controls, all the parts, perhaps no complexity meter or cash limit

With the ability to share creations using the zune's wireless. Just a thought though. I'd try to do something like this myself but I don't feel comfortable with programming for the Zune yet, since I'm just starting on that, my skill in programming isn't for zune
