HP has announced the availability of its exclusive version of the Creature Creator, an application that allows gamers to create, paint, animate and share creatures for Spore, the upcoming simulation game from SimCity creator Will Wright. The HP Creature Creator offers more parts than other free versions and can be downloaded at www.hp.com/go/spore. It will also be available on HP and Compaq Presario desktops and select notebooks starting this September.
Developed by Wright’s Maxis, Spore is a massively single-player game that will have gamers create and control the evolution of a new species. How creatures evolve depends on the characteristics gamers design into them. While the game is scheduled to debut in early September, the Creature Creator has been available for download for the past couple of weeks. Maxis reported that more than 250,000 unique creatures were created by the second day of availability.
The full version of Maxis’ Spore Creature Creator is available for $9.99 at retail stores or by visiting www.spore.com. A free trial version of the application is also available at www.spore.com. The trial version features 25% of the creature-making parts and lets players shape, paint and play with their custom-created creatures. Characters made in the Creature Creator can also be imported into the full Spore game, allowing players to populate their own galaxies when the game ships worldwide this fall.
