You can capture videos of the gameplay you create and share them to YouTube from within the game itself. There's a number of other capturing media supported by Spore Galactic Adventures as well. This tool is not available in the shipping game, but we might consider making it available to players in a future patch. These are then mapped onto the insides of a cube and presented inside a Web browser using Flash. So, we take a picture of front, back, left, right, top, and bottom views at an interesting point in the adventure. The 360-degree screenshot technology works by taking six pictures inside the game where the camera is pointing in the six canonical directions. (Left-click and drag around the image to view this Flash 360 screenshot.) There's a lot of action, beautiful art and effects, so we came up with a way to showcase them by taking panoramic screens. Shalin Shodhan: The adventures made by the studio are really impressive. GS: How do these adventures lend themselves to capturing media? We understand that the team has come up with a way to capture 360-degree screenshots. If you haven't played it yet, you must check out Mother Ship Down. It's amazing the amount of stuff one can cram onto a planet. We've been pretty lenient with the complexity. We do have a complexity limit for both planet editing and adventure building that will limit the amount of cast members that can be placed in an adventure. GS: Yes, a single adventure can be up to eight acts, and they have an entire planet to play with. GS: We understand that adventures can have up to eight "acts." But just how huge can an adventure be? How much virtual real estate can be contained in an entire adventure? You can create adventures that require you to fight enemies, collect items, or just interact with other characters. Then of course there are going to be the totally unexpected adventures that none of us could have predicted. On the flip side, we think creators will make adventures that are simple galleries showing off all of their cool creations. Earning a top-three score on an adventure will earn that player a trophy that will appear on their My Spore page. We fully expect creators to make challenging games that do have replay value and push players to compete on the leaderboards. We added leaderboards to every published adventure for a reason. We've been able to create action games, platformers, puzzles, and exciting racing games.
The adventure creator is extremely robust and will allow creators to make a wide variety of adventures. GS: We do role-playing really well, so I do expect a good number of them. Is the idea that this will basically be a huge repository of episodic role-playing game adventures for people to play? GS: We understand that the adventures system will let players create, upload, and then play through different adventures with their captain characters. Get ready to build your captain, gather your crew, and beam down to strange alien worlds. Some of the new abilities include holo charm, stealth field, freeze blast, and summon swarm. Many of the parts, like jump packs, require energy to use. We've also introduced a few new stats for captains. There are 32 new accessories and abilities, so the idea is that players will have fun building lots of captains and trying different combinations of parts. Captains earn new accessories and abilities each time they gain rank, so they can have at most 10 captain parts. Their secondary titles are based on the parts you equip them with. Their primary titles are based on their archetype, which are determined by playing the core game. There are 10 levels for captains to go through, and they gain experience and rank by completing adventures. By taking them into Space Game or starting them through Quick Play Adventures, they will set on the captain path. KK: Captains start out as regular creatures. What are these captains' abilities and attributes? How can they develop? Now, with captains, players build up individual characters. This seems like a departure from the original game's focus on building up a race of critters. GS: Tell us a bit about the captain system in Spore. Galactic Adventures will let you make your own multipart missions. Every day there is a long chain of "Check out my adventure" e-mails. People have been busy building their own adventures and sharing them with the team. We've locked down and tuned all of our shipping missions and have really been focused on bug fixes, polish, and usability improvements. Kip Katsarelis: The last month has been really exciting.
