why is it so hard to recreate spore creature creator?
Soon spore will be 20 years old. I've never seen another famous (non-niche) game come close to what was possible in the creature creator for spore, certainly a lot of games would benefit from a similar mechanic, why no other game was able to replicate this tool?
(I mean specifically the general creature creator, not just good editing for a fish, a dog or a bird)
EDIT: Games that I think would be better with this feature:
- No Man's Sky, clearly.
- Any game where you can customize your mount (just limit the editor to horse parts, or lion parts or whatever after choosing a mount type)
- Any game where you're supposed to be attached to a monster/mascot that you customize at the start of the story and follows you through the whole game
- PokeMEN like games, capturing and training a range of monsters you can still keep the sporepedia online features for multiplayer
