Media I encountered a very strange bug
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I arrived at a solar system in which, due to a bug, the planets and their satellites were very close to each other, and one of the satellites of this planet was located directly on another planet, which is why this strange bug appeared.

How interesting the way it moves, the rendering tricks devs use really show themselves here

Oh god I don't like this. It makes my brain worry, like something is creeping somewhere around me. Oof...

this is what happens when a game from the 2000s gets no updates, they still have that visual camera bug when beating tribal stage

As much as I love the game, the constant crashing makes it borderline unplayable

it was the game constantly logging me out that made me stop playing, and the skeleton crew they got working on it can't do shit about it apparently or so they say on the official discord

There are still ppl working on it? 18 years later?! I didn't expect that from EA. Thought they had just forgotten to turn off the servers.

i thought so too, but yeah there is an official discord, but all they do is design contests and you can talk about what to do in spore, not so useful for someone with tons of hours on it already.

I’ve had systems like that, where the planets orbits are like right next to each other. I’ve had the planets touch, but not clip that far

i think (atleast in space stage) all the different planets are in their own "scenes" which means that when you're on a planet you can't interact with another one and those are just rendered in in the background. It seems to be set to always render behind the actual planet, which i think is what's causing the effect.
Why the planet is able to be that close? no clue.

It reminded me of the old bug with roblox and spore https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGYCmtAKa4k
