That would BE COOL! Also im rather Exited right now cause i found out about a new game Will Wrigth (read:God) is makeing. Spore proves to be not only a awsom game, but just so damn cool it will make your head EXPLODE! Check out the movie at GMCTC (you need to sighn up, but just give a fake adress, tehy dont send you anything)
See, Spore is a massive game. Its big. Really Big. Really Really Really big! Its just so flipping HUGE its hard to imagin. You start out a a little protazo and then you squirm throuhg the microscopic muck that is the begining enviroment. Right now it looks... LIKE THIS!
See the creture! That was never desinged by a 3D designer, nor was it animated. No, when Will Wright created it with an in game editor (Think the sims mixed with MR.Patato head mixed with clay), the game looked at its strucutre and said 'This is how it moves'! Its a dynamicaly created movement animator that will do anything with anything! So as WW moved his critter around, eathing little food pelets and avoiding preditors he eventualy layed an egg (in game). Then he clicked on the egg and the game went back to the edditor...
There he gave his critter a spike on the head, makeing it cut through the ozze faster and it was able to spear through enemy's!
Then he skipped to when his creture became MULTI-cellular! Now the game was in 3D!!!!!!!!!! and the creture moved realisticaly, flapping its hands and swiming about! After another generation WW then made his creture into a tri-pod, compleat with a grabber on hte back of its tail.
The creture now gimped around on three legs, useing a dynamicaly created anaimation for its body!
Then WW showeed how subsiquent generations of cretures could get bigger and bigger brains, so they eventually become sentint! Now the game is like an RTS, where you controll a little tribe. WW put down a spear rack, and the cretures looked at the spears in wonder, before gabbing them with their tails! The game figures out WHITCH limb would be the best for carrying itemes and interacting with things!
Now skip forward and the tribe became a town. Then the town became a city, and interacted with different citys. Then the citys built star ships and traveled to other planets in the solor system. Then the ships got intersetller drives and flew a myriade of star systems.
Once you understand the massiveness of this game, you will have spontanious head explosions! i DID!
