This, if done well, would be an awsome extra in the game:

For those who don't know, metaballs are basicly 3D shapes that attach to any other metaballs close to them, giving a water droplette type effect
An Example
Source

Basicly, you would be able to add theese to your creature, limit theyre movement and what not, and you could have a liquid style creature! GENIUS!


Theese would probably be best implemented in the bacteria stage, for a blob feel...

thats a definate, that would be awsome for blobs.

i wouldn't be suprised if will added this in but i wouldn't put money down on it.

So far there has been no option to change the physics or.. physical properties of your creature, but again.. the game is a shy less of a year to go from launch so theres alot of time left for them to add it into the game.

It would be interesting though. a super intelligent form of 'The Blob' with spaceships and bio-genetic technology lol.

its kinda like that game mercury, for the PSP, Which i just "Procured" from TOTALY legal sources...

Keys - June 17, 2006 12:14 AM (GMT)
haha, actually come to think of it it kinda does..

SporeFox - July 15, 2006 11:08 PM (GMT)
or you could ad them to the sides of your creatures head for extra-streach pouchs to store food...if they were hollow...

ilikepie - September 4, 2006 06:22 PM (GMT)
on spore illustrated or some where else its said u cant make something like that or a spineless creature

MC2009 - September 5, 2006 09:27 PM (GMT)
Hmm, I wonder what would happen if you gave your creature no legs though? Wonder if it'd let you...

Keys - September 8, 2006 05:11 AM (GMT)
I think will discussed this. That they'd slither or something like that? I don't remember. it was in a podcast i listened to a while back.

sonarem - September 8, 2006 08:32 PM (GMT)
Yes in a leipzig podcast Will said you could give the creature no legs and it would slither like a snake

Keys - September 8, 2006 11:14 PM (GMT)

i wonder if you could make something with just arms that walks around on its hands. something like the green thing on the cover of the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.
