Nachdem wir bereits gestern in einer eingesendeten Usernews vom Überschreiten der 1 Million Kreaturen-Marke in Sporepedia berichtet haben, feiern nun auch Entwickler Maxis und Publisher Electronic Arts das freudige Ereignis, auf das sie zurecht stolz sein dürfen. Die millionste Kreatur nennt sich übrigens "Sapiusgeenus" und wurde vom User FlamingChidori hochgeladen. Dass das noch lange nicht die Letzte gewesen ist, dürfte sich von selbst verstehen. Ob es euch gelingt, die Zweimillionste online zu stellen? Gebt Gas!

In einem Auszug aus der offiziellen Pressemitteilung heißt es:

Guildford, UK – June 25, 2008 – The internet has been invaded by walking pears, giant dragons, impossible-to-describe aliens and everything in between! Maxis, an Electronic Arts Inc (NASDAQ: ERTS) studio, today announced that fans have created and shared more than one million creatures using the Spore™ Creature Creator in the first week of availability. Anyone can download their own copy of the Spore Creature Creator or check out hundreds of thousands of amazing creations from around the world in the Sporepedia™ at www.spore.com.

The Sporepedia is an extraordinarily vast online destination where people worldwide can search for and share Spore creations, comment on other player’s designs, check out celebrity creature creations and much more.

“Maxis is excited, humbled and inspired by the explosion of creativity that we’ve seen with the Spore Creature Creator online,” said Lucy Bradshaw, executive producer of Spore at Maxis. “I’m amazed at the creations I see getting uploaded to the Sporepedia, whether it’s a realistic looking bird or animal, a 10-eyed alien, or something completely bizarre and unexpected like a creature that looks like a motorcycle, it’s clear that people have an innate desire to be creative, and we’re thrilled to help them express themselves.”

The millionth creature was created by user “FlamingChidori” and was named, “Sapiusgeenus” - a two-legged green creature that the creator described as “one of my favorites so far.” You can check “Sapiusgeenus” and a million other creatures at www.spore.com.
