SporeSpacePrototype

An image of this prototype.

Space was a prototype for the Space Stage in Spore made by EA.

In the game, you can explore the galaxy, encounter new alien races, and terraforming planets, like in the Space Stage.

Colonies that are successful provide the player with income and resources, which can be invested in technological research. Advanced Technologies allow the player to receive tools.

SpaceBetaCity

A city. Brown rectangles are buildings and black circles are creatures.

The game is also two-dimensional, unlike the present Space Stage.

Features[]

Planets[]

Space Beta1

A planet as it appears in this prototype.

Unlike modern Spore, planets were tile-based. Each tile has a variety of plants and animals represented by symbols, which can only be seen on a GUI to the side when a tile is clicked. Planets also have biomes on them, which is not present in Spore. Clicking sea tiles can also bring up seaweed. Planets without life are barren, featuring shades of gray that resemble rocks on the Moon.

City3

A close up of cities.

Cities[]

Cities in this game are nothing like in Spore. On the map, they are represented by rectangles under a large and transparent hemisphere. Clicking on a city brings you to a screen with crude graphics. You can see a grey "wall" and a green ground. Black dots represent people.

War[]

War in this beta is very simple and easier than actual Spore war now. If you manage to buy the "Zap" ability (select the bottom left square with text and search for Zap), you can Zap enemy cities. Clicking with Zap toggled on will degrade the city, making it less productive. You can also click on cities and shoot the buildings there. Zapping cities will make the other empire declare war.
