Why Spore Had The BEST Expansion Pack of ALL TIME.

Spore was and is one of the best sandbox games ever. I wanted to talk a bit about the Galactic Adventures expansion, and why it allows the game to still feel new and exciting all these years later. This is the first video like this that I've ever made so I'm very much open to feedback / critique. I hope you enjoy it!

Galactic Adventures literally changed my life. I was about 9 or 10 when it came out, and back then I could only play on the computer when I visited my grandmas house once per week. I loved to log on and see if any of my favorite creators had published any new adventures, and when they did, I swear every Tuesday was like Christmas. I would get super immersed in the lore of these stories, go in the editor and see how they made things happen, and, eventually, I became confident enough to turn the stories I wrote in my free time into adventures. It opened my eyes to storytelling and what the human imagination could do, and it gave me the confidence to be wacky and weird and balls to the wall in every idea I come up with. Right now I’m working on staging my first opera at my university. I can quite literally say I would not be where I was today without Spore GA. It influenced my style and sense of humor, and taught me that the craziest of ideas are the only ones worth doing.

Agreed. I still come back to the game over a decade later. I used to make plenty of adventures in galactic adventures and have my own in-universe lore centered around my aliens. I also loved to follow the stories of my favorite creators, particularly parkaboy and a couple of others.

I agree... A few Things i wished were in spore -building and expanding within your solar system like building space stations that are either military or trade in nature think of DS9 -terraforming should be more difficult like you have to build a colony like building and add plants and animals into it it then it slowly changes the terra score over time with an indicator similar to the traderoute indicator when its full you go back to that planet and upgrade the building to expand the next terrascore with new animals and plants... Also the same system is used for planetary defense once you have all turrets and the defense probe thing You unlock the next tier like shield generators or orbital defense weapon systems where you have the choice between alot of weak weapons or a few strong ones once that tier is done you unlock the spacestation where you can design a space station and put it around the orbit of the planet like the moon of your homeworld the spacestation also gathers all spice of the system it is in... -terraforming for suns and gas giants basicall by chnging the sun you change the terrascore of the planets or ignite gas giants and turn them into a sun... -being able to build up a fleet the size is determined by the amount of fully build colonies -being able to make treaties with other races *non expansion treaty you determine which systems are not to be colonized and when they agree its in effect. *defensive treaty you agree to protect them when they get attacked by another force but if another ally attacks them you are not obliged to interfere but you can *trade treaty you both decide on trading routes and the percantage of spice that is to be traded if both sides agree the trading starts after awhile a system may be bought and you can also sell your system. *joint colonizing treaty you and selected allies share the planets of a selected system trade and defense treaties will be automatically in effect for this system *quests and mission treaty you can turn problems into quests an environmental issue or an sudden attack of a colony for non allies to take but allies also can take on these quests *joint venture treaty Your enemies become also the enemy of your allies any new species that attacks you or your friends becomes an enemy of all allies. I a have many other things but you get the idea...

I personally don't know why most people don't like Spore Hero. As much as I absolutely loved the first two games, Spore Hero was a fun twist on things. The story was fun short and simple, the games soundtrack was amazing, and even though it didn't have as much creative features as the originals it was still extremely fun to make your creature and run around in the world. It was like one really in depth galactic adventure but with cutscenes. Spore is the best game in history (In my opinion) but I just feel like not enough people give Spore Hero a chance.

@doxnotch3029 2 жыл бұрын

I think you listed my two main issues with it, it was short and took away a lot of the creative potential that the original game had. It went in a totally different direction and even though it was still fun and colorful and not a *bad* game, it was just disappointing for people who wanted a new Spore game.

But saying out of 5000 hours one can only have 3 hours of fun in cell to space is also insulting to the game. The game is incredibly fun in all of its aspects. Some people will prefer some parts more thant others, but it is never an objective fact that one one part is fun

I just returned to Spore as i got it in the Steam sale, reloading the game again and signing into my parents old EA account I was amazed to see all of my old creations still there. They were awful, but even now the game is amazing fun, and returning to it now when I'm older and I've been doing all sorts of other creative stuff in MMO's in the meantime, unlocking the games full potential is just amazing, with infinite new stuff and creativity from galactic adventures. I feel like Spore is a game that EA really failed. They had an absolute gem of a game with infinite possibilities, and it would probably crush games like No Man's Sky and Stellaris if a new Spore came out nowadays with the same cartoony charm mixed with the powers of games of this generation. Sadly with Maxis closed down and EA wearing refusing to give us a new Spore/remakes of their best games in favour of more Sims 4 expansions as a badge of honour, I fear we'll never see this amazing game go beyond being an extremely popular game from 2008 that people are still playing in droves to this day.

As for creators, I would add Fotosynthesis, Parkaboy, G3NJI, Andeavor, luckyburdock, Shattari, Pezzalis, Slartibartfast38, and Mushroomking1. There are many more that you can find by looking through the Friends lists of all of the ones I listed!

This was the first "real" game I ever owned and cherish all the afternoons spent creating creatures and adventures. I grew up in a religious household and it sucked, not being able to enjoy cartoons and trends all because of some stupid belief I had no choice in bringing into my life. I genuinley felt isolated and lonely because I wasnt able to connect with my classmates since I wasnt allowed to enjoy what everyone else was. I'm honestly suprised the evolution part of spore went over my family's head. If they knew I dont think I would have ever been allowed to play the game. This game literily changed my life, it led me on a path to pursuing creature design, and for that I am ever grateful.

In it our heroes failed to destroy the Grox pod, so in "Infestation II" we've picked up in a moment, where Grox terraforming continues heating up the planet and now rising lava levels threaten the nearby shelter for last survivors, but our heroes and rebels still plan a final attack on the Grox terraforming plant.

Agreed. So many people sleep on the fact that the expansion pass in reality constitutes 75% of the truly significant content in spore

If you got a PC, it is purchasable on Steam and GOG. GOG version is probably the best one.

This is a great video that touches on unfortunately ignored segment of Spore - the community, and wider creative aspect. I genuinely attribute my current career path as a 3D Modeler to when I used to make tanks and stuff on Spore. Also man, seeing some of the creators that I saw waaay back in the day again brings me back. Spore was nuts, it was weird, it was awesome. Side note, anyone remember all the weird wolf adventures, wolf / dragon heads, etc?

I’ve been making a series called R. A. F. T. (Rough awful floating tile) which the first game is all about being on an ocean… on a raft… Yeah the first game was a raft copy -But the other games actually expand the story, like terraforming the planet after years, defeating a giant sea monster, and so much more! Right now I’ve stopped working on it for a few months, (I have a life) but I will continue the series sometime!

Hello DoxNotch. I very rarely watch videogame videos by youtubers, but I watched this one to the end and I really, really enjoyed it. Spore was the videogame I have enjoyed the most as a kid and the only one I managed to play to the end. Your video has made me want to revisit it. Keep up the good work. 👍

Since you are making spore videos in the present age I wonder if you are familiar with this problem and could give me some useful advice. Thank you so much in advance!

Spore galactic adventures is the pinnacle of all games, just playing galactic adventures by itself even today is amazing, the only issue is that I feel like there's tons of trash adventures and most of them I hate playing but otherwise, it's the pinnacle of 2008 and probably still better then most games in 2022

The Adventure Editor was a clever, if roundabout, fix to the problem of the Space Stage having no proper terrestrial gameplay. Sure,. the developers could create massive updates to the stage so that you could beam down to any planet, colonized or not, and be able to do a huge variety of things; interact with aliens, uncover valuables, do little missions for people, see another race charge into war before your very eyes...or they could create another editor and just get the fanbase to do all that. Now, you can beam your captain down to a variety of planets, but what you do on those planets was devised by another user. There's the illusion that each planet has its own story going on, when in reality it's just one of the many adventures in the Sporepedia being randomly assigned to planets in your client.

Thanks for the amazing video(s) on Spore and particularly Galactic Adventures. I always agonized over just how underappreciated that expansion was as a level designer. There's pretty much no limit to what you can make, and it's such a simple interface to boot. It stimulated my fascination for storytelling and filmmaking, and I wanna get back into it as a regular passtime. It's sad that Spore died so embarassingly with Spore Hero and especially Darkspore, but with Galactic Adventures the game has literally infinite replay value and a sequel is not even needed. Still, I wouldn't complain if Maxis made a modern update, combining everything that was good about the original and Galactic Adventures into something even more accessible, expansive and cohesive.
