Prototypes - NetCity
Play with our Prototypes - NetCity
| Spore™ has been a huge undertaking. Along the way we ended up exploring countless design directions in gameplay, simulation and user interface. One of the ways in which we explore possible design directions is by building simple, playable prototypes that we can play around with to get a sense for a particular system. Usually these prototypes are never seen by the public, but we thought some of the more intrepid players out there might enjoy playing around with a few of our early Spore prototypes. Keep in mind these are not tested, supported or even easily explained. |

NetCity
By checking this box, I agree to EA's Terms and Conditions.
NetCity is a programmable simulator used to explore the evolution of complex behavior from simple components.
User-defined nodes can be set to emit signals and move, or shrink and grow in when a signal is received.
NetCity was inspired by the Soda Constructor (sodaplay.com) and by the book Vehicles: Experiments in Synthetic Psychology by Valentino Braitenberg.
