Spore

What about insects? Does anyone know whether or not they will be part of the spore worlds? And will you be able to play as them?

you probably cant make one as small as an ant but there are insect parts to choose from. as far as i can tell youd just be able to make very large insects

Yea... you can have an insect-like creature. You could even have a dragon! (with a big beefy arm comin' out the side of his neck, there)

You can make a creature that looks like an insect, but since you have to have a backbone (i'm pretty sure you do) it wouldn't really be an insect.

yeah they have to have a spine. Although it can only be one segment so if you realy want an invertebre you can almost have one.

hehehe... giant carnivorous bugs...

the way i see it is the spine is for animation purposes. thats how itll calculate the way it walks etc. so if somebody says their creature doesnt have a spine then it doesnt as far as im concerned. dont need to let the games limitations keep you from making what you want
