It’s one of the laws of human nature, that the moment a man is given the ability to customize something, a big dong is what he’ll customize it with. Thus it was with Spore‘s creature creator, as semi sentient genitals began popping up all over the Internet shortly after release. It should be a sad and sorry statement on society, but instead it’s very funny, and if you’re Will Wright, it’s even impressive. Yep, Spore‘s creator and game design legend Will Wright actually praised the skillful way in which gamers are churning out filth.
“Some of it’s really good for what they were shooting for,” stated Wee Willy Wrighty. “It’s amazingly explicit, especially when those creations are animated. We just have to make sure those people aren’t messing up the experience for others.”
So there you have it, your big bouncing bollocks with eyes has the blessing of Mr. Wright himself — just keep your bollocks to yourself. Along with sharing his praise for the dirty Sporn, Wright also talked about possible console versions of Spore. While not suggesting they’re in the works, or even that they’re being considered, he suggested that if they were to appear, they would be tailored for each machine in question.
“Spore on almost any platform is going to be different and tied to the unique aspects of that platform,” expounded the legendary designer. “Sitting in front of a console is very different from sitting in front of a PC. Whether you’re using a mouse or a PS3 controller or a Wii wand, that right off the bat is arguing for a somewhat different design.”
