its 2020 and I still have hope for a Spore 2/ a spiritual successor.

I know there's a lot of nay sayers who will talk about this and that about how Spore was a failure, but I dont care. Spore is THE most unique game ever made and one day someone will buy the IP from EA (hopefully) and make the Spore sequel we wanted. Or an indie dev will just make an actual Spore game that isnt an extremely simplistic version of the creature stage (im talking about a game like Spore where you create custom creations and can share them along with things like making Adventures).

Feel free to drop your "there wont be a spore 2" comments that I'll ignore below!

You'll have to buy EA since EA has never sold any of thier IPs, abandoned or otherwise.


So good luck with that.

Welp, the vaporware scam aimed at stealing code that gets floated around as a Spore successor is still around and last I checked cell stage was supposedly kindof playable.


However, EA has thier lawyers with their C&D orders so an indie version of Spore would have to be different enough to dodge that, which would most likely change the game enough that it would lose the simplistic charm that Spore has, even before we look at how big the niche market may or may not be.

Didn't some people somehow got a private server on DarkSpore to work? Of course alot of the stuff was bugged it seems however.

I held onto hope every year since 2010, and every year I'm left with nothing but disappointment

I mean it looks good, like an amped up version of the cell stage but it's just the cell stage. No sharing of actual creatures, buildings, levels, etc which is what really made Spore so unique.

If there was ever a spiritual successor I would want it to include a full range of evolution along with the ability of sharing those creations online.

The plan is for the finished game to include all the stages from Spore, plus a couple additional ones. I'm not sure about the methods for sharing creations, whether it be via an official server or directly swapping files, but sharing of some sort is planned.
