Ive recently purchased spore on ea and i played for maybe 15 minutes and finished the cell stage with no game issues, as soon as i finish making my creature with legs and launch, the game infinitely loads and eventually i can hear game sound but im still stuck on the load screen, please help me and my girlfriend have the same issue, ive looked all over and tried everything but nothing works.
@ExcitingSpade49been trying everything everywhere for hours , compatibility mode, resolution, lowest graphics, updating graphics card, deleting graphics packages sifting through posts and wikis that are mostly 10+ years old etc etc literally anything i could find and i've been having this exact same issue. played through the cell stage then got to creature stage and it loads for a bit, then i can hear the sound and music of my creature and things seem to work fine but visually im still stuck on the loading screen then after a while of waiting it crashes. im stumped man but im glad at least someone has the exact issue. mad i can't play a childhood game i paid for anymore.
yea man it sucks me, and my girlfriend both are having the same issues and we have tried everything, i was hoping to have some more luck posting here and seeing if anyone has had the issue and fixed it
@Zariaomy game had problems with crashing and sometimes wouldnt start up, i made a new folder on my desktop called spore (you can name it whatever) make sure you install it into that folder or else spore files and everything will be all over your desktop and it will be a mess and just reinstalled spore to that and it stopped crashing. or you could right click spore.exe in the spore folder click properties then go to compatability then click windows vista or xp.
In the Spore Creature editor, metaballs are used for the main body and limbs of the creature. As you stretch the limbs or spine, more metaballs get added to ensure a smooth, continuous surface. You can also shrink or grow individual metaballs to make parts of the creature fatter or thinner.
It basically does this by selecting random faces on the surface of the model, and grouping together connected faces that are pointing in roughly the same direction. It then repeats this process until every surface of the model has been selected. This results in a very ugly, but usable, UV unwrapping.

Spore Creatures is a 2008 science fiction adventure game developed by Griptonite Games and published by Electronic Arts. The game is a spin-off of Spore in which a player controls and evolves a creature of their creation to save another creature from the clutches of an alien who plans on dominating the galaxy.
The game begins as a new species of creatures, the Oogies, are born on the planet Tapti. Two members of this species of particular importance are the protagonist, simply known as 'Oogie', and Little Oogie, a small and primitive creature. A mysterious spaceship is flying around the planet, abducting various creatures; it captures Little Oogie and flies away. Oogie pursues the ship all over Tapti, and when it begins to fall apart after bashing into a number of objects, collecting its pieces along the way. Oogie eventually catches up with the ship as it finally crashes, and its pilot, an alien called Gar'skuther, clambers out. Gar'skuther simply summons a new ship and flies away, still in possession of Little Oogie, who has now grown a strange tentacle from his back. Oogie uses the parts he has collected to rebuild the first ship and pursue Gar'skuther through the galaxy.
On one planet, Oogie eventually comes across Gar'skuther, who is observing another creature. Seeing no threat in Oogie, he begins to explain his plan: he wishes to dominate the galaxy by experimenting on all primitive wildlife and building his genes into them - his genes cause large, dark tentacles to grow from whatever they are implanted into. In order to show Oogie his power, Gar'skuther combines a Fyristook and Flabawaba into a Fyrisaba and pits it against Oogie to test its strength. Oogie defeats the creature, but Gar' skuther flees, now realizing that Oogie may be more than just a normal creature.
Oogie eventually lands his ship on Gar'skuther's base planet of Zencrie, where he is hiding through a cave. After resolving a conflict between two native species and helping to cure a nest from the infection, Oogie reaches the cave entrance. Passing through it, Oogie comes to a small cove where Gar'skuther is waiting. The evil alien tells Oogie that he is more powerful than he originally thought, and that he will face him in battle if Oogie can defeat the Skuther - a bionic creature Gar'skuther has built using the best parts of many other species. Oogie defeats the Skuther, but Gar'skuther reveals that he has spread them all over the galaxy and that they will soon become the dominant species. Gar'skuther then proceeds to battle Oogie, but is defeated and dies, his arm is the only salvageable part left.
Upon Gar'skuther's defeat, the many Skuthers throughout the galaxy collapse, and the infection ceases to exist as the tentacles all wither away. Oogie takes the spaceship back to Tapti, where he meets a cured Little Oogie. The two creatures then carry out their lives on Tapti as a dominant, yet peaceful, species. A cutscene then shows that a creature native to Tapti called a Meeper finds the spacecraft, enters it, and flies away to an unknown planet.
The gameplay is largely based on the Creature Stage of the larger game, with elements of Nintendogs and Drawn to Life. Spore Creatures characters are ball and line generated 2.5D. Unlike the characters of Spore, creatures are rendered in 2D,[3][4] but the environments remain 3D.
The gameplay largely focuses on interacting with other creatures to perform quests, play minigames and befriending or battling them to progress in the story and obtain new parts, of which up to 280 can be unlocked.[3][5] Befriending creatures, which allows the player to have them along with one other creature accompany them in traveling and assist in befriending or fighting other creatures, consists of two mini-games, which are cuddling, which involves repeatedly dragging a smiling cloud over a creature, and dancing, which involves the player tapping dots representing beats when they reach an outer arrangement of flowers.[5] Combat consists of the player, optionally accompanied by up to two befriended creatures, battling another creature by dragging the stylus over the enemy creature to damage them or using Bio-Powers, special abilities that can be used in combat at the cost of energy, to damage or prevent them from attacking or protecting or healing the player.[6] Health can be replenished by eating food that corresponds to the player's creature's mouth type while energy can be replenished either by eating flowers or using parts that are able to gradually replenish energy.[5]
As with Spore's Creature Stage, the player creature is created and able to later be modified in an editor using points and parts earned to give the creature different stats and skills. The player is given 20 "Body Points" at the start with which to build their initial creature, a limit that is expanded as the player levels up. Each part contributes differently to the stats, skills and other attributes of the player's creature when placed, such as what kind of food can be eaten, being able to pick up objects, gaining more health from eating food or being able to regenerate energy. Some parts grant Bio-Powers while other parts allow the player to traverse hazardous terrain that would otherwise normally damage their creature at the expense of energy.[3]
The game features the Sporepedia, which, in this game, consists of the Badges menu, the Species Guide, which gives information on the creatures the player has encountered in the galaxy and various statistics related to them, the Planet Guide, which gives information on the planets the player has visited and, once the player has beaten the game, allows them to travel back to them, Saved Creatures, which is where the player may create and save new creatures, and Summary, which gives a summary of the player's strength and other statistics and attributes.[6]
The game additionally features an achievement system in the form of Badges, 60 achievements that can be earned based on story progression and certain gameplay actions. Each badge rewarded rewards "Badge Points", which may be spent on new parts or cheats that enable features such as changing the appearance of the creatures or environment, adjusting the difficulty of the dancing minigame or grant invincibility to the player.[3]
The game allowed the player to save up to thirty-one different creations, including those from friends over a local, peer-to-peer connection. Players were able to have their creatures interact via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection; Spore Creatures was one of the few Nintendo DS or Wii games to allow a player to opt out of needing to input Friend Codes.[4] The online multiplayer was closed on June 30, 2014.[citation needed]
The DS version received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[19] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of one six, one seven, and two eights for a total of 29 out of 40.[10]
IGN said, "The adventure is lengthy with tons of achievements to shoot for. The creature creator might not be as elaborate as PC Spore, but there's still a ton you can do to make some bizarre organisms."[13] Eurogamer, however, panned the game in its review, stating that the game ignored what made Spore special, and that the "imaginative and sociable sandbox game feels like an afterthought, stuck in an uninspiring cycle of fetch-quests and grinding."[9] Official Nintendo Magazine said that progress in stages always requires specific body traits, forcing the player to constantly edit their creature, and removing the whole point in the game.[16] It was a nominee for Best Simulation Game for the Nintendo DS from IGN in their 2008 video game awards.[20]
