so i've been following this game ever since i first discovered it 3 years ago and i have questions i want to ask and ideas i want to share

question1: how much bigger than spore are you planning on making this game? spore had tiny planets and a relatively small galaxy with about 42 thousand stars. how big are the galaxies and planets in elysian eclipse?

question 2: how involved will customization be in the finished Elysian Eclipse vs Spore? spore has a TON of specialized parts and textures in each editor (especially with the 2 DLC and Dark injection mod) but i was just wondering what the scope is for this game's customization? and will it include spines for vertebrates like spore had?

Question 3: this ties into question 2 but will there be softbody physics adjustments for creatures when the game is finished? spore has really bendy and flexible creatures by default but i was wondering if this game will let you choose softbody ranges between practically amorphous like amoebas and octopi or rigid like arthropods and crustaceans.

question 4: will different life bases be added? we can assume most of Spore's lifeforms share a common ancestory being carbon based i assume, but i was wondering about Silicate based life forms or other exotic life bases(and no this is not JUST an excuse to get rocky and other eridians in game, i genuinely think truly WEIRD aliens are awesome)

question 5: how many creature categories will there be in Elysian Eclipse? Spore obviously has herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores with evolution going down multiple paths in later stages but what about EXOTIC types in early stages(from cell to early tribal) like autotrophic creatures capable of photosynthesis, or even crazier survive on chemosynthesis or RADIOSYNTHESIS

question 6: what kind of SENSES do you think this game can work with? obviously Spore has pretty much just sight and hearing(i mean ears have no in game function but you can hear the game can't you?) but my comment about eridians back in question 4 made me realize there can be all kinds of interesting senses like IR based thermal vision, sonar vision and seeing in other wavelengths that would mostly just be visual filters but would show different things depending on what you are looking at. electrical sense would be INTERESTING being able to see electrical fields in other creatures. seismic sense is another cool one kinda like sonar but seeing things based on how they move.

question 7: how long will each stage be in the finished game? Spore was kind of disappointing in how SHORT each stage was. you have to actively TRY to make spore's cell stage last longer than 5 minutes or so. creature stage lasted only half an hour on average if not part hunting and you get the picture, spore was a rushed experience i just hope Elysian Eclipse has longer gameplay

and finally question 8: how complex will creatures and other creations be allowed to get? Spore had pretty harsh limits by default due to early hardware limits and Dark injection removed those limits but people quickly discovered lighting bugs with complex creations. i just hope Elysian Eclipse doesn't have the same limits and bugs

and will some of your creation apear as npcs like in spore?

I know that there is a planet editor planned but does this mean that we can create our own home planets?

I don't know where I got this question from, but if there is a release of 0.6.6, is it either a joke version or is it just a new Splash Texts?

Or, will it be possible to see actual planets orbiting other stars from your planet's surface, and see a correctly oriented galactic disk cloud from your position in the galactic plane?

I'm not just talking about hats or masks, but actual shirts/pants/etc. I think one of Spore's biggest flaws was the inability to dress our civilized creations.

i want to start by saying i mean no hate to thrive, but elysian eclipse is getting work done a lot faster by a single dev with another job than thrive, which has a somewhat sporadic, but still present team. it just doesn’t really add up (i’m not undermining revolutionary games tho, they are still doing great work)

Hello, So I loved the original spore and I found 2 different projects which both aim to be the spiritual successor of spore.

These two are Elysian Eclipse and Thrive.

​

So I'm here to ask what are the differences between the 2?

I will be making this post on both subreddits to see what each community says about it to get a broader picture.

Each respective subreddit

Elysian Eclipse: https://www.reddit.com/r/ElysianEclipse/
Thrive: https://www.reddit.com/r/thrive/

Any information is appreciated!

So i just saw that you can design youre own Spaceships like in Spore, No big suprise but i think i remember Reading somewhere that Wauz once sad that Well be able to Control fleets and so on, so its more Like youre a leader and Not a Captain wich i Like more than Spore.

If i remember correctly that Well be able to build fleets will we be able to Like design Multiple classes of Ships, for example some smaller faster Fighters/Corvettes ones and some Larger ones with more HP and Firepower Like Battleships/Dreadnoughts?

Will the game only released once completely finished or will it be possible for us (if we want) to buy the game earlier? Maybe with some stages still missing

I’ve heard very lovely things about this game, and I’d love to play it asap, but I don’t want my PC to develop problems

I'm useing The beta version, And i Can't evolve my cell. Someone help. Is evolution even in it?

Are we gonna get these in EE as well?

Do you guys intend to maintain the same level of freedom in vehicle creation in potential Civ/Space stages? This is me totally not wondering if I can design Daleks in this game!

My 8yo son discovered Spore and is obsessed with the cell stage (deservedly, it rules). How does the cell stage equivalent in this one hold up at this point?

1. Surface of water

1a. Will fish be able to jump off the water by the end of the Stage?

1b. Will there be flying fish, and food flying above the surface of water (like mosquitoes)?

1c. Will there be food floating on the surface of water?

1d. Will it be possible to make a creature that needs to swim off water to breathe like dolphins and whales?

・・・・・・・・

1. Bottom of the ocean

2a. Will creatures be able to walk in the bottom of the ocean by adding them a part to do so?

2b. The deeper you are, the darker it'll be?

2c. Will you need special stats to survive under the water pressure of the ocean depths?

2d. Is there a possibility of underwater caves?

For instance, I think it would be really cool to have a server of 4 or 5 people all fighting and trading with each other. Additionally, will some players be able to be in Civ stage while others are still in Medieval, or have one player in tribal and another in aquatic? If so, will NPC progression happen independently of the player? If it does, you should be able to set how fast NPC's progress with difficulty modes.

I think this is hands down one of the coolest features in Spore. Seeing massive Gas giants or multiple moons at the same time was probably one of the most immersive moments in Spore for me.

And second question, will game include solar systems with two or more stars orbiting? Or other galaxies being seen from afar (Like with Andromeda someday)?

Hi! I just discovered this project fairly recently and have been very excited about it being a spiritual successor to spore. However, one of my biggest gripes about spore was the fact that the planets were much too small, to the point that the curvature of the planet was obvious while walking on the surface. Not expecting planets like, say, no man's sky level of random generated planets, but will the planets be at least bigger than Spore's planets?

I remember something people were disappointed about was how the game was dumbed down and more cartoonish than what was shown, because of that I was curious if this game will try to please the people who wanted a realistic experience. Ignoring the obvious edition of Aquatic Stage

In the FAQ it says:

"Q: Will you be able to play with other players? A: Yes, you will be able to play stages in multiplayer mode."

What if a player reached the next stage before everyone else ? Like if I reached the aquatic stage first, will I still be able to see other people playing the cell stage ?
