In October 2024, Spore was updated and received new SSL Certificates! This will allow Spore to connect to the servers for years to come!

Honestly, the fact that a rough estimate of nearly 200 million creations being able to be stored on just half a dozen 1TB hard drives, and a more refined estimate only being a mere 750 gigs really puts into perspective how efficient Spore is in storing, loading and sharing creations.

I'm glad this is happening, I was worried that this game's servers would be killed and the millions of unique creations would be killed with it. All that would be needed to keep spore running indefinitely is an online bypass to use a custom sporepedia server - which it seems that they've already got working. Although I'm shocked that the game is still just as playable today as it was when it was released, servers & all. I'm just worried that may not be for all that much longer.

It truly is a sight for sore eyes that one of the cornerstones of the 2000's gaming is kept not only alive but safe from the corporate reaper. In what some call small acts, I find hope. No creation shall be killed nor be thrown to the fire of oblivion and countless pieces of us, creators, will survive the test of time thanks to the community it brought up. I am left awestruck and amazed by this act, similar in nature to protect the planet's beautiful flora and fauna. Thanks to the team and to you to bring it up, and thanks for playing.

I love everything about this. I don't know why the youtube algorithm thought I want to see this but I am so happy it did. Spore is one of those games from my teen years that I never really think about, but whenever it comes up I remember how much I loved it. I always feel like when people think about EA they only think sports games and the Sims. Spore is like the little ugly duckling sister of the Sims and I wish EA had done more with it and made it a series. Seeing now that there are people, who are to this day passionate about this game and want to perserve even the horrible critters I made at 14, fills me with joy. I love it when communities come together like that and fight for what they love when it is threatened by big corporations. Yes, it is just a silly little game, but also it is history and a cultural artefact of its time and, last but not least, so many good memories for many many people. Maybe I'll have to install the game on my computer and just jump into a session for nostalgia's sake. That said, on the technical side of things, I am also amazed that all those creations are just about 1TB of storage. I had no idea that it was this efficient. Nowadays it feels like every game takes loads of storage but, considering how much more expensive storage space was back in the day, it makes sense.

Okay so first of all, this is such a great initiative. This is historical preservation work and I’m so glad it’s being done for one of the biggest games of my childhood! Second: PNGs can hold hidden data?? I’m a digital artist and have been working with pngs for forever but had NO idea this was a thing! That is so incredibly cool. I’m not a programmer but I’d love to see a deep dive into how that secret data storage works!
@KinglyValence
@KinglyValence 3 ай бұрын
Yeah PNGs are really cool! I wondered about that as well and I learned from the Sporepedia crew that the amount of hidden data is relative to the actual image size of the PNG as well. Since the creations are in 128x128, the maximum hidden data is 8KB ( 0.5*width*height). So those 256x256 PNGs that are uploaded to the Sporepedia could theoretically hold 32KB!
@user-oh6uw9mu9u
@user-oh6uw9mu9u 2 ай бұрын
I think a lot of formats can store hidden data. I don't know if spore uses metadata or something else, but I used to mess around with opening random files in a text editor and just adding random text, depending on where in the file I added it a lot of the time they still opened fine. I think as long as the file is still readable to whatever program opens it then extra data doesn't hurt it.

It would be a shame to lose it all.

It would have been better if the Avali had never become popular. I feel sorry for RyuujinZero. He might nominally be (or have been) a furry, but I think part of the reason he didn't pop up much again after StarBound was how his created species was defiled by the furry "fandom". This is a guy to whom not a single piece of furry porn is attributable, so it's reasonable to believe he does not look favorably on how the "fandom" treated the species he created.

Spore isn't the only game that uses pngs like this, I know ZDoom and forks based on it use pngs for save files Basically pngs are made of chunks of data, and the format specification allows for custom chunks beyond the ones used for image data and the normal metadata, which is how stuff like this is possible (the doom wiki even compares this to how wad files from doom itself work)

The game's certificate has an expiry date, and first expired in March 2017 - ten years after Spore released. EA released the somewhat-infamous March 2017 Patch at that time, which renewed the server certificates for another 10 years. Once March of 2027 is reached, the certificates will expire again. If EA don't renew it, the servers will no longer work without mods.

This is an effort to archive creations on the sporepedia. Those creations cannot be shared but if they somehow ended up on the sporepedia then yes they’ll be archived

Do we know how adventures are handled? Back before I had a legal copy of Spore, I'd download creations using the PNGs (without an account) and they'd mostly work, but not all adventures have their various props published on the Sporepedia as well, so you'd get a ton of red placeholder creatures :/

@error_found 3 ай бұрын
Adventures are contained in the pngs too, you just also need the pngs for creations that go along with them to play them. Fortunately adventures do contain the ids of the creations used in the adventure, so we can figure out which creations need to be downloaded before an adventure can be played

@@error_found Yeah, but not all creatures/buildings/vehicles in an adventure are published in the Sporepedia. I used to download a creator's entire account to try and supplement the missing creations but some would just be missing no matter what. Not sure if they found a workaround though

@@Glida_Kara if you got it on steam they might not have given you a cd key. if thats the case you need to contact ea with proof of purchase. in my personal experience it was a smooth process luckily. if you got it via ea you should have the cd key and wont need to go through anything like that.

I purchased spore for steam but I can’t connect to the servers at all. I tried to check with EA support but they are incredibly unhelpful. Anyone know a secret way to connect to the servers without having to repurchase spore on EAs own launcher. If you get my meaning 🏴‍☠️

Since no one is going to make profit from these community run servers, then there shouldn't be much risk. In fact it will only help Spore continue to be a game worth buying, so it's sizeably a good thing for them to not mess with this effort.
