An interview with EA Maxis’ Lucy Bradshaw on the making of Spore » VentureBeat

''This is the first incarnation of a long, epic journey. I can’t wait to take advantage of some of the smaller components.'' That is good news.

''The web site is also a part of the game. It’s not a stand-alone product but a feature. We’ll expand it after the launch as well. That’s been a hallmark of our games. Players can add to what we do.''

''We’re in the bug-fixing stage now. For the next game, I think I want to try something smaller.''
