HAPPY 15TH BIRTHDAY SPORE!!!!!!!!!

I've been planning out this project since 2020, with the end product being a full redrawn Spore Creatures sporepedia. The original plan was to have the whole thing completed by today, but 31 creatures is a LOT to redraw. I currently only have a third finished, so maybe I'll have that done by the 20th anniversary in 5 years! (sidenote: good god 20 years is a scary number to think about)

With the exception of actually drawing the creatures, this video took a little under 2 weeks to make. Nearly everything here was drawn by me in Illustrator, animated in After Effects, and then finalized in Premiere Pro. The only assets I didn't create is the starry background towards the end (which is originally from Spore Creatures DS's intro) and the save game clip and creature sounds, courtesy of rollerpaint1023 on youtube who's the only person I've seen who's preserved full gameplay of Spore Creatures. Their videos were also a huge help when I was creating assets for this video and needed reference material. Big shouts out.

yeah, not working.

Strangely, it seems to not be discussed much online and no one really goes into why. even i dont have tech answers on Why but the most is that OBS seems to capture the loading of textures/normal maps/etc when something like a creature is loaded (doesnt happen with vehicles or buildings). They are so fast that I guess it can be assumed this is being done all the times when you are playing, but for some reason OBS manages to process it. If anyone has more insight, feel free to add on.

I will post screenshots below, but you can see a video where i slowed it down 10% (even then, its still really bad). There are a few clips out there but I wanted to slow it down as much as I could.

there seriously needs to be a tutorial or something on how to fix this because. I have wanted to do spore videos for ages and every time I try it’s seizure warning central

I love cute games with deeper stories oh myy godd

Anyways I’m a huge fan of both of these games fun fact haha I only ever grew an interest in learning more about the characters through smash for the wii and from then it’s been history

It’s no surprise Olimar and MK are my favorites, they have a lot in common (they’ve seen the horrors,,, etc. )

I was gonna draw King dedede and Charlie but I thought that would be too much for now, so have this and maybe some other day I’ll do that
