Spore "Prototype" Released

[July 13, 2008, 12:57 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

The Spore Community Website now offers downloads of ParticleMan, one of the simple, playable prototypes they've built to test subsystems they are incorporating into Spore, EA Maxis' upcoming evolution simulation (thanks Mike Martinez) and Kotaku). Word is: "ParticleMan simulates gravitational attraction between particles in a cloud. This system was used to study such gravitational dynamics as orbits, nebula formation, star formation and particle streams from sources like pulsars and black holes."

	You really are dumb, aren't you? You could have gone to teh site to have it all spelled out for you, or you could have done some thinking for yourself and thought up an explanation along the lines of: 'hey, they have solar systems and galaxies in Spore...maybe they used particle dynamics simulations to, uhm, simulate those?'. In which case you'd be right.

	InBlack: This is more about the space sim aspect of Spore. It's a prototype. "What happens when we do... this! what does the system look like?" It's a fun toy, it was probably made without any thought that it might ever be released. I think it's cool that they're showing us some of the tools they used to put the game together. They don't have to, it's just a gift to people who are interested. Please don't try and turn everything in to a negative. Yeah, EA usually makes dumb moves, but they sometimes make smart ones, too (particularly Maxis when they get their way...)

	What does gravitational attraction between particles in a cloud have to do with evolutional simulation? My educated guess is fuckall. Uber-Hype by EA yet again....lol This message was edited at Jul 14, 09:27.




	I have a nifty blue line!

	Universe man, isn't he usually kind to smaller man?

	I'd be pleased to see some 'prototypes' for Gran Turismo 5... like, their Nurburing prototype. Hell I'd be a happy fucking clam if they'd release another track sometime before my birthday!

	What's he like? It's not important. what really matters is that its ridiculously difficult to make phalli with this. should i have written 'penises?' oops, too late.

	Seeing tech demos come out of Spore development is pretty cool, actually.
