Can I Evolve a BLIND SPECIES in Spore?

Spore Blind Run ~ Cell to Creature to Tribal Stage - lots of interesting Spore challenges out there, and I wanted to give the no eyes challenge a try. Expect more Spore challenges soon.

Tried this old gem for a change and more of a written style than my normal comments, as I felt it was conducive to that in that way.

*SPORE!*
I've been nostalgic to return here for awhile! Have been working on a few more narrative form videos lately, as I just enjoy doing the writing for commentary as an end product rather than "in the moment" types of commentary when I look at it as an overall video production, though expect more of both soon. Just experimenting to keep it interesting. Hope you enjoy!

For added immersion, I will watch this video with my eyes closed.

You evolved from a Lovecraftian creature into a common tree.

Amphibian says everyone hates the creature stage but I believed everyone hated everything after the creature stage

Does he not know that you can recruit other members of your own species in creature stage? No wonder he hated that stage, that must of been hard as hell.

Honestly, a completely black screen with certain "tells" depending on what's around you provided by your other senses would be cool. Black screen, but footsteps can be detected with ears or sensitive little hairs on your body that're on the ground so you can sense the vibrations. Or being able to smell what's around you. Much more limited idea of what's around you, just outlines, based on if you have stuff like whiskers or similar that "feel" around you, that kind of thing.

I mean, devs could have added things like echo-location and other ways to get "visual" info. There's plenty of games where you don't exactly see things, but they are still fun to play.
Although, adding such gimmick for a single mode in a game with 5 different ones is not efficient.

I remember trying to watch someone create a limbless blind worm species that went on to take over the galaxy lile a decade ago.

Bro, my dog fell asleep with your voice. Each time I pause the video he wakes up, it's so goddamn cute.

Wish we had a new game like spore these days with actual evolutionary knowledge and where it really depends what parts you use and how you evolve

[randomroughneck]

Watching this at 5 in the morning really makes you contemplate about life and society with its hierarchical structures, damn man i gotta sleep not philosophise about how a person is defined by their social interactions and relationships with others...

Spore is like if someone created cell stage and then realized they had 4 more assignments for the homework 1 day before the deadline

[migarsormrapophis]

I once became a god in spore with nothing but a blob with a cell-stage mouth
you can do anything in spore

[jasperzatch]

Universally hated stage?? How many people have you actually asked about this? Because im pretty sure it was everyone's universally favorite stage

Hey AA, long time watcher, first time commenter
I have a small complaint, it feels like recently in your videos you've taken an approach of reading a loose script over pre-recorded footage.
Whilst this is very nice to listen to in the background, I do miss the style of video where you would narrate gameplay as it happened, first reactions and all.
I feel this video missed a trick, there were times I wondered "Why has he changed to herbivore from omnivore?" "What was AA's reaction to growing a brain, maybe he will have a quip?" etc, etc.
These quips never came and I was disappointed. I feel that may be to do with the fact you were trying to tell a story as opposed to enjoying the ride with us.

Show don't tell and all that jazz


I will continue to watch your videos... But with a hesitant reflection of what once was
Yours... forever, Wilbur Soot

I LOVE SPORE!
One of my favorite games ever- even though its hugely flawed. Always happy to see modern spore content. Really a shame the game never received a proper sequel. A modern gen spore that applies the lessons learned from it's predecessor would be an instant-buy!
