I had the opportunity to create my new little buddy, SportunateOne as part of the SporeVote campaign.
There’s a video of SportunateOne and his little sidekick online. To see them in action, click on “more spore” then on “random.” You’ll find me on that page somewhere. If you like it, make sure to cast your support by clicking “I like it!”
Spore is the new masterpiece created by Will Wright, creator of Sim City and The Sims.
The bub.blicio.us crew attended Startup SF to catch all the fun and festivities and was lucky enough to snag an interview with Justine Ezarik (iJustine).
Our guest reporter, Allison Bethurem, chatted with the internet star about what’s new and her participation in the Sporelebrity contest held by Spore. You can check out Justine’s creature over at the Sporelebirty gallery. The winner gets $15,000 for a charity of their choice; Justine’s is the Frozen Pea Fund which we previously wrote about here.
Have you heard of Spore yet? If not, then you are in for a treat. Spore creature creator is a software program that allows you to create your own creature from scratch. You can make it look like anything you want, the possibilities are literally endless. Once your creature is created, you can then go forth and conquer by creating your own civilizations and Spore colonies. Spore creature creator was released recently and is causing quite a stir.
