Speedrunning one of Maxis' "Educational" Galactic Adventures in Spore 

>implying it's not the case everywhere else ☕

@@snek7915 No country on Earth has as much influence over their policies from the lobbyists as the US has, even those that have formalised laws on what they consider "legal" and "illegal" forms of lobbying (if they even allow it at all) but I suppose most americans are just simply not aware of it.

​@@55ziomal55lobbyists in the US are nowhere near as influential as oligarchs in some corrupt countries

@@universe8607 You're right; they're far more influential than those oligarchs, as those oligarchs are disappeared if they go against the dictator, whereas in the US the government is completely beholden to corporate interests.

@@snek7915>using whataboutisms as a excuse to never fix anything.

makes the video so much more enjoyable and the run more hype.

When is the next one? Could be a series

A few years back I played one where you control a giant Big Chungus and destroy a city. Good times.

Same lmao

SODA!!!‼🥤😅😁🥶

no freaking way obamana

SODA!!!!!!!!!!

it would be even better with multiplayer feature.

@@VadymausDefinitely! If they made a more polished spore-like game with multiplayer, I think it could be really popular.

I never got Galactic Adventures as a kid. Not sure I would've enjoyed it much back then. But now it definitely looks fun

DLC being better than the base game is actually VERY common.

@@dinobro4273 These days, I rarely see dlc get rave reviews and its usually recycled content or just not worth the money, GA took a frankly meh game, and redeemed it into an outlet of true creativity, almost changing genres from a god sim to something more like Dreams or Minecraft which allows you to make your own worlds and stories.

This was a common problem just as Galactic Adventures released, lots of props popping everywhere in common gameplay. Maxis later released a special tag, "gaprop", so any creations with that tag wouldn't be selected to appear in a normal game. But older ones don't have it, so they still can appear, which can be quite annoying.

@@agar322 Adventure assets that come with the game already have that tag.

@@agar322 The "gaprop" tag also only works properly if there are no other tags on the creation.

@@racknae really? Well, shit. I hope I never messed that up

11 of the 28 DLC adventures were made in collaboration with Robot Chicken. Those ones are quite... odd. lol

Also flight can break most adventures, especially with higher jump levels

I found 35 "unofficial" Maxis employee adventures in addition to the 28 DLC adventures I showed in this video that I considered official. Some of them are good, most of them are.. interesting. I think it could be fun to show them, at least the history! These are the ones made by "MaxisCactus," "MaxisMiller,," and others.

The adventures can be downloaded by logging into a Spore account and subscribing to Sporecasts on Spore.com with the adventures in them is the easiest way. The galaxy download I provided has them all included so they can be played without needing to log in. I'm not sure what EA app there is if that's an Origin thing, I always play on Steam :)

@@KinglyValence EA app replaced Origin a couple years ago. But libraries and stuff carried over so it's basically the same thing.

They can all be played from the main menu by selecting them individually if they are all installed in your game. The galaxy file I linked in the description has them included as well.

SODA!!!!

I worked on this a lot and couldn't find a perfect solution. I worked with the modding community as well to try to extract out the original PNGs out from the pollination package but the PNGs seem really bundled in there in a way that it didn't seem possible. Best thing I can think of currently is to just replace the pollination package but leave everything else in that Spore folder alone. The Games folder in that Spore folder contain the saved games in the galaxy and the EditorSaves package should keep everything that's needed for your saved games. Replacing the pollination will reset achievements and anything else you downloaded but will get the adventures but should hopefully keep your current saves intact. Since making this videos I've found there are programs to directly download must adventure's PNGs to drop them into the game which would be the best solution but don't work for every adventure if you don't have a Spore account. With a Spore account it's really easy to get all the adventures yourself without needing my pollination file! :)

@@KinglyValence Thank you! Also, I looked at the Maxis DLC spreadsheet and noticed more adventures that weren't in the package. Where can you get them?

@@blueblaze27 I added another galaxy/ pollination file to the Google Drive that has all 79 adventures as well! The original one just had the 44 adventures from the video. That should be all the Maxis and other Maxis employee account adventures I could find!

@@KinglyValence thank you!

Yes, the adventures when downloaded are bundled into the Pollination.package folder within the galaxy file and that can be taken separately and replaced in your own galaxy if you want to get the adventures from me. I provided the whole galaxy which may be easier for some to replace the whole thing. But the adventures can still be downloaded if you have a Spore account and subscribe to Sporecasts that contain the adventures if you want them directly from Spore :)

They can be downloaded in the game using a Spore account or using galaxy file from my Google Drive I linked in the description :)

@@KinglyValence thanks

It prompts you to sign in or create an account when Spore launches. The important part to know is you need a CD to register. Steam doesn't provide CD keys anymore so Origin or GOG are your best bets :)

Maxis made spaceship versions of Biden, McCain, and Palin too lmao
