I’m a huge fan of Spore and had the good fortune of seeing one of the earliest prototypes of it while visiting Maxis during the development of C&C:Generals. Yep, Spore has been in development for a long time, but I give huge kudo’s to Will Wright for keeping his vision alive and developing the product in the right way (i.e. keeping the team small until it was ready to grow).

Like most fans of the game, I’m keen to see anything new that the team releases and have been secretly plotting the growth of my own “Spore Society”.

For those of you just catching up, Gamespy put up an article with the latest at the end of August. Inside of the article is a set of videos, with the latest being a great trailer released on Sept 5, 2007 showing the breadth of game play.

It’s great to see how the game looks and plays. Fingers crossed that soon we’ll get to learn more about sharing our races/societies/planets with other players. Wouldn’t it be great if that could be done in real time….?
