I wanted to comment on something someone mentioned earlier, I don't know if it has been addressed or not. But, you CAN make flyers in this creature creation thing. I made a quick little "wasp-type" creature, and you can even get it to attack with its "stinger".

1. Simply lift the body in the air, adjust the spine thickness to get your body and thorax, and add some wings from the extras section (whatever is after weapons).

2. Add and arm (not a leg) where the stinger would be and position it so theres only one. This can be done, it just takes a little trying. I had to place the arms then move them until it fused into 1. Minimize the length of the joints and make the hands as small as possible.

3. Go to weapons and add the horn or the spike ball or whatever to the last joint on the hand and make the weapon a little bigger.

4. Click on the test drive and it will float around and when you hit "punch", it will strike with the stinger. Since it has no legs it will float, not fall to the ground.

I will post mine in the future, Im too lazy to do so atm

NOTE: this is in the full version of the creator, not the trial.

Actually, you don't need to keep a hand on the arm. You can just pull it off and put the 'stinger' directly on there instead.

Hm. Somehow the CC doesn't like me. Everything works fine, but when I hit 'save and exit' my computer reboots. The free version didn't have that problem...

I'm guessing that you save it before you hit the 'save and exit' button now, am I right?

You should post that problem in the Spore tech help forums and see if anyone else has the same problem and if they have a workaround.

I tried to create a Beholder and the stupid thing keeps falling to the ground when I go to test. I wish I could give it a float property because wings just wouldnt look right.

I just picked up the full program at GS for $10. (Walmart has it for $10 but includes a $5 gift card but I got tired of trying to find it) If you upgrade you have to uninstall the demo and I accidentally erased all my creatures so when it asks if you want all data erased say no.

I got a few minutes to play around with it but since then I haven't because my kids have taken over making creatures. Oh well. My oldest is going to flip when I show him the next program will allow him to make vehicles.

If you uploaded your previous creations, you can just download them from the Sporepedia through your profile.

I'm too lazy to post mine, so search for Legerdemain if you want to see.

It seems so far that I can avoid reboots if I

- have the EA Download Manager running (with the hotfix update)
- use the options panel to load creatures or exit the game directly.

Still, very odd behaviour.

I also tried a beholder. It works sort of, if you include arms. I'll post a screenshot this evening.

Yea, I was forced to add wings if you want it to float (sorta makes sense I guess). If you dont, it just falls to the ground and rolls around, so a beholder might be tough to figure out. You can always add wings, minimize them as small as possible, then rotate them so they are "inside" the body where you cant see them.

And as far as I can tell, if you add wings AND legs, it will always walk, which sorta stinks.
