Spore Speedrun Any% Normal  

I use 3 hours fine-tuning the creatures I make in creature creator to make the perfect robotic captain. I once made the 'Atlas' robot from 'Portal 2' which strangely had a very skew center alignment because of the mouth. Parts on mouth simulated the eye while the rest of the parts were on the body to simulate the chassis. I didn't even use the robotic parts pack to make the limbs since a super thin exo-skeletal limb works nicely to make robots. - Another nice trick: If you use a certain exo-skeletal limb (the one with MANY segments) and only use one or two segments, you can simulate a cannon-like appendage.

@@muffinman2546 wtf

@@bat6684 Yes. Wtf indeed. ;D

As you should

@@muffinman2546 I spend 48 hours deciding where to place a single part

46 minutes for us could be billions of years for them, so that's not an impossibility.

Exactly! The game gives us an estimation of years taken to complete a stage somewhere on the screen after finishing a stage or by clicking the evolutionary progression button on the bottom left to see your history.

​@@muffinman2546 @nivodeus you guys are ruining the joke.

There's an episode of Love, Death and Robots about that. There's a civilization developing in a couples freezer and they go from dinosaurs to medieval in like 2 minutes, then to nuking the shit out of each other out of existence a few moments later, and then come back into existence and becoming some sort of super advanced mega society that eventually teleports away in a couple minutes, and then dinosaurs again

41:49 it actually took them only 879 million years, such madlads. (it usually takes at least 2 billion for my species to reach space)

Agreed!

ur

@@helioabc eeer tu

Same thing here

Same

When you were a child you felt that this game is gonna be a good game even if you're like me not even in the tribal stage I always wondered when I was a child how my brothers are so good at this game and I always suffered from the creature stage and seeing someone who does it all In under a hour is insane for someone like me

Same. I always stopped at space stage

Same and I definitely didn't stay up untill 5 on a school night

@Din Do Nuffin ummmmmmmmmmm we don't talk about that

he would be in immeasurable pain

@atomigo bacterianovic djjaaaker if he did play he would first have to learn the controls which would be easy enough. Then he would play the game and be JESUS CHRIST ALL OF MY WORK AND HUMANS DO THIS WITH IT. not that spore is bad

@@krusaderken9107 one more thing, he doesn’t know wtf a pc is

you can pre terraform to skip the tribal stage

SAME

sup

Amazing!

Why did you stop making videos

OMG YUR ALIVE!?!?!?

Nice, good luck! I hope my guides/videos will be useful. :)

maybe if i get good we can have a friendly rivaly of sorts, who knows. but thanks for the support. spore is actually my first game im actually trying to speed run. technically my first speed run was of softlock% for pokemon yellow but im not counting that.

Thanks! And I got a video of this exact idea coming soon! I get the center of the galaxy (on Easy difficulty this time) without evolving the cell/creature ever throughout the run! Hopefully by Saturday if I can make a commentary I am happy with. It'll be an edited version because the whole thing took a long long time.

@@KinglyValence That sounds great! will be looking forward to it!.

Congratulations, you’re a prophet

Thank you! On one of my older speedruns I left the in-game audio too loud and got some comments saying it was hard to me over the creatures attacking, lol so I learned early ;) I'm able to read the comments in order they're posted through the Creator Studio on RU-vid without having to go back to each video to check for comments, so I should be able to see new ones!

I play with "Game Hints" on, but "Tutorials" off. The Game Hints on keeps the 'Eat 5 Food Pieces' whereas the Tutorial brings up all the prompts that describes the HUD elements and what to do.

I didn't know about it yet at the time :)

Ending the run at the center of the galaxy made sense to as the end of the speedrun as it feels like a cool ending cut scene. And since there aren't any credits in game the Steve cut scene seemed like the next best thing. Also that was "determined" as the ending before I got into Spore speedrunning so I just went along with it, but it made sense to me as it was a clear and concise goal and felt like there was a final "boss battle" needing to drive through the Grox. For Omnipotent% (filling the space progress bar) yeah I only know of that one run that does it as a speed run. It wasn't totally necessary that the run reached the center as well but I let that runner determine the rules of the run as they were the first. I most likely won't do that since I like to keep Space stage a casual game to me (I really enjoy casually playing space but speedrunning has a tendency of me not being able to go back and casually play it anymore). We also considered a speedrun to Earth as the ending, but we could get a starting planet really close to Earth so it took less than a minute to do and didn't feel worth to speedrun. We also considered 100% including destroying the Grox. But that kind of fell through because we couldn't decide if we were allowed to know in advance where the Story Book planets were. Since if we did know where they were that could possibly save loads of time. For now since Spore speed running (at least through Space) is really only done by at most 4 people currently, we are keeping it simple and just using the Center of the Galaxy as the final goal/end of the game. Sorry for the long response but I hope this was insightful and I love when others are interested in Spore speedrunning and we always talk more here or in the discord! (Found on the src page!)

@@KinglyValence Yeah thank you, dont worry for the long explanation, that was a cool insight.

Instantly terraforms a planet to terra-score 3 and adds planets and animals to the planet.

just realized it might be only available in the normal in-game editor

One update allowed asymmetric, by pressing a in editor

You hold the A button while selecting and moving the part. Hopefully this helps!

:D it worked

It's a speedrun category in wich you just have to beat the game, with no other requirements set like achievements ^-^

The game is capped at 30 frames per second. The mouse curser is in 60 frames which is why I record in 60 because I think it looks better but the actual in game engine is at 30.

It is possible to change a config file to allow for 60 but that's not allowed for this peed run because it's technically a mod.
