Spore creature creator – Spore demo program

Spore is making progress! The Creature Creator that was announced for June 17th (yeah, good timing with Firefox Download Day!), is now available! Check out the demo here!

The Creature Creator will be used to have people design different creatures, which will be used to populate the game universe for the full Spore game when it ships this September.

The demo version has 25% of the total body parts, the full retail version is supposed to make all body parts available.

Gary Gygax, Co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons, dies

I just read the excellent Giant in the Playground webcomic “The Order of the Stick”, and the last installment was a tribute to the late E. Gary Gygax. It turns out he died Tuesday March 4th in his home in Lake Geneva.

Some of you may recognize that name as one of the creators of Dungeons and Dragons, and Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. He provided hours of joy to countless geeks around the world.

Thanks for all the fun, Gary. You will be missed.
