Spore Creatures DS Full OST

[@EpicTastyPapple]

2:25 My parents couldn't afford to buy me a ds when I was a kid, we were in debt and had very little money for entertainment. So, a few months before Christmas, they saved up and asked other people in our family to help pitch in just so they could buy me and my brother a nintendo ds. I remember the tears in their eyes watching me play with it with such gratitude and wonder, it made their efforts all worth it. Spore creatures was the first game I played that day and played over and over for years. It brought me a few friends who also enjoyed weird quirky creature games and had the game themselves. This first track from the game still represents my parents' willingness to go beyond limits to show me their love, a lesson I never thought I'd learn from a game, but one I'll never forget. I wish this game was given more credit than it receives for inspiring creativity and inspiration in so many kids when it came out.

[@IanStocker]

When I was composing these soundtracks, there was no KZbin yet and the only feedback I got from players was the occasional GameFAQs review. I never really knew of any stories like yours, where something I worked on made such an impact on someone. It's really nice to hear this sort of thing now. Thank you for your very thoughtful comment.

[@TwighlightLugia]

I know this video was posted like, half a year ago, but if you're still interested in having the proper in-game names for these tracks, I actually spent a good 20 minutes compiling them. *Exploration A:* Tapti: Noodlin Region *Seedling A:* Tapti: Fryse Region *Wonder B:* Planet Baysee *Wonder C:* Planet Flubit *Lost C:* Planet Zencrie *Seedling C:* Pangu: Flimmil - Crystal *SporeDrive:* not used in-game *Combat Showdown:* Combat 1 *Combat Miniboss:* Combat 2 *Combat Encounter:* Combat 3 *Trotting Along:* Main Menu *Dance Life Form:* Dance 1 *Dance Awareness:* Dance 2 *Little Clapping Hands:* Credits *Lost B:* Planet Zencrie B/Planet Freezle *Exploration C:* The End? *Wonder A:* Tapti: Trunkle/Tapti: Bowltektos *Seedling B:* Pangu: Flimmil - Snow *Lost A:* Tapti: Zager/Pangu: Muckluck *Dance Tribe:* Dance 3/Dance 4 *Dance Prototype:* Not used in-game *Dance Thematic:* Dance 5/Dance 6/Dance 7 *Progression Prototype:* Not used in-game *Adventure Groove:* Not used in-game *The dance and combat tracks are used somewhat at random in-game, and the dance tracks in-game seem to be chopped up from your larger tracks. I don't know if they have official names in-game, so I just gave them generic names. I'm kind of overtly passionate about this game for nostalgia reasons, lmao. I absolutely love the soundtrack, and finding the remastered OST whilst scouring the depths of KZbin was like finding the Holy Grail while dumpster diving. Hope this helped!

[@IanStocker]

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I updated the track listing in the description.

[@TwighlightLugia]

Ian Stocker Sorry for this one last thing, but I actually made a typo and Tapti: Trunke is actually supposed to be Tapti: Trunkle, entirely my bad; my eyesight isn't great. Anyway, glad to help. :)

[@seanflannery8587]

Huh? Sporedrive is used in-game, it just plays at random intervals when you go fight an encounter with another creature. I know this because it plays most of the time in the first few fights in the tutorial area, and on the first planet is when i remember it happening the most.

[@cet1r1z1ne]

You're the composer?! Amazing work on this! This wasn't the best game, but it's always been very dear to me and your music always struck me as amazingly high quality for such an obscure game. Every now and again I still find the ice music on Pengu stuck in my head, I remember spending so much time there just to listen to it.

[@gabyrq9054]

This tracks are my inspiration to compose electronic music. I love the game, the music, the alien vibe..... Im in eternal love with this! Thanks Ian, this music is part of my sweetest remembrances.

[@lukeframpton277]

I really must thank you for your work on this soundtrack, just like with many others I like to think that this little DS title influenced my childhood. One of my favourite parts about it is the balance between contrasting themes of harmony vs aggression - that I think is beautifully reflected in many of these tracks; such as the harps in Baysee's and Flubit's themes, or better yet the piano notes in the Miniboss theme. The harsh, droning forefront instrumentation gets contrasted with small, delicate sounds, giving yet another layer to the setting. Against feelings of anger, terror, hopelessness - is it hope? tragedy? wonder? Anywho, that's my gush over, you don't need me to convince you that this soundtrack is fantastic, and I'll be listening in to future musical endeavours with keen ears!

[@kellis9351]

WAIT YOU DID THE SPORE CREATURES OST TOO??? This game was incredible. Limited, but I loved it. Did exactly what it was meant to - I played it as a young child and when I was old enough I was still hooked on its concept and bought the original PC game. Now I'm older, though, I have to say this game probably has a bigger place in my heart. Fantastic OST as always

[@kellis9351]

For context, I'm 18 now, but played this as a young child. Hopefully that doesn't make you feel too old but, hey, a lasting impact like that is the mark of a fantastic composer. I really genuinely hope you know how much you've contributed to a variety of people from my generation's lives

[@IanStocker]

Haha, I'm used to it, since my stuff was all released in the 2000's. I really appreciate your kind words my friend

[@Kiweh99]

Hey! The comments section is probably a terrible place to bring this up and ask and stuff, but let me start with some background. I first played this game around release as a kid and enjoyed the game a lot and I would easily say that the soundtrack really complemented the atmosphere. I have tons of nostalgia for this game and its music. Skip very far forward to about two years ago, I have had a piqued interest in sound design and remastering tracks and stuff. I started off trying to re-write music by ear using many different soundfonts for the fun of it, just to hear what X sounded like with Y's instruments and the like. Later on I found a program that allowed me to extract the music from NDS games called VGMTrans, and had tons of fun playing around with the extracted music from games like New Super Mario, Pokemon, and the Dragon Quest games when at some point I remembered this game's soundtrack and decided "Hey, why not try and remaster a couple of songs from this?". Only issue is, whenever I try to load the rom for this game into the program, it would lock up and crash, which was pretty frustrating to me considering that every other game I tried worked just fine, without any issues or bugs (Except maybe Dragon Quest IX). So for the next few months up to when I'm writing this, I've been peppering my attempts at extracting the music from this game, and I got extremely close. I managed to extract a few SSEQ files from the cart, including one of the prototype tracks. Disappointingly though, I found that the playlist was vastly incomplete, with only a few overworld themes available to me, and the battle and dance themes. I don't really have a grasp on hex editors either, to trying to read the bin files to try and gather any info or hidden files wasn't happening, I'm a huge noob when it comes to romhacking and the like. I know I really don't have much of a track record online to support my interests in remastering music (it's more just a hobby if anything to me), and I doubt you'd give it to some random guy on the internet but it never hurts to ask. If by any chance you still have the source files, or anything that would assist in the creation of a remastered soundtrack for this game, would you be willing to provide them? If not, I understand, and I'd be completely fine with that answer. I would at the very least be grateful that you even read my story and heard me out. At the very least, it would provide me a little bit of closure on this little project I've had. Thanks, and have a great day.

[@IanStocker]

This OST was special in that I did a lot of custom programming for the music, way beyond sequence playback. We had individual track control and segment switching among other "adaptive music" gimmicks. So it's not surprising that the sequences can't be ripped directly, at least very easily. The file format and audio chip logic is still under NDA from Nintendo, so I can't really give a tour of it, but I might be able to show how I authored the source files at some point.

[@vulturesalesman]

Love that transition from Baysee to Flubit. Well done.

[@IanStocker]

My favorite part of doing these remasters has been finding opportunities to do fun transitions like this.

20:16 is the only song that has any sort of "nostalgic" vibe for me because it's the same song that's used in the Spore Creatures DS Flash Demo on the Spore.com website. I remember building multiple creatures on that demo. Good memories. I never actually owned the full Spore DS game though. I still find these songs to be great though! Glad that they're uploaded to KZbin somewhere or I might've never heard them. EDIT: Thank you for uploading them. I just realized the uploader is the composer for these songs, wow! More composers should upload their songs like this in my opinion, it's a great thing to do.

[@incyray9709]

Hearing this old game's soundtrack in HD original track form is so insanely awesome ;u; Not only are all of these songs incredibly nostalgic for me(having practically grown up playing Spore Creatures), but it's really wonderful music even without that context! The music for each area and event really makes me feel like I'm in that place, bringing up imagery of parched desserts, misty jungles, snowy mountaintops, and shifting seasons to match the environment. Wonder B/the theme music for Baysee is def one of my favorites; the music alone prompted me to make Baysee my adoptive homeplanet as kid! (Lost B is also really nice, as are Seedling B, Wonder A, Exploration A, Combat Encounter, & Exploration C, to name just a few!) Hearing it for the first time, the prototype song Adventure Progression is really nice, too!

[@Robowil]

I actually had the game since release, but lost it in 2009, found it in 2013. I still really like playing it.

[@incyray9709]

oh yeah, Lost A did actually spook me a bit as a kid, since it got the feeling of a dry, lifeless, so-hot-you'll-get-instant-heatstroke desert feel across so damn well.

[@incyray9709]

SAAAAMMMEEEE

[@Robowil]

In my opinion, if they were to remake Spore Creatures for HD consoles and 3DS/Vita, they should keep the music the same (or an option that lets you change the music between remastered and original).

This soundtrack holds such a deep meaning to me, as it added to the wonder and inspiration I felt as a child playing through this game. I find myself coming back to Spore Creatures every few years, sometimes just to wander aimlessly and listen to it's wonderfully composed music. To this day, this game has shaped the way I see the world(as a place which is filled with opportunities for creativity) and has greatly influenced myself as an artist and designer. Great work, Ian, I cannot thank you enough for this masterpiece of a soundtrack.

Spore is my favourite game ever made, and I played this before PC spore. I’ve got to say that this is my second favourite game, or tied with the PC version. The amount of memories I have of this game is incredible. Back before I even began playing on an Xbox or a PlayStation, I’d spend all my hours in these universes. Gar Skuther, Oogie, Tapti, Meeper, all names I’ll never forget as long as I live. Beautiful game.

It's not really a glitch, it's just the theme you hear when you win or lose but you never really get to listen to it much unless you pause the game at the right time.

The kid told me that he had hacked creature parts and was willing to share them with me, we spent the next hour trading and building creatures. Little did either of us realize at the time, the parts came with warning "do not localize." The save file became softlocked- but I used it explicitly to make creatures with the hacked parts. I still have that save file.

Got this game again after losing it so many years back, the nostalgia hit was unreal

[@J.R-Himself]

Lol I thought no one came here but me.

At least someone else made Spore Creatures DS music instead of one person.

[@CJayBRex]

I might be wrong here. But I believe that the Planet Flubit music also played in a Baysee cutscene. And that I found a bug where this music would play the entire time in Baysee instead of the normal music.

Hit straight with nostalgia! Amazing job on the music for this game!

[@chknlittle5807]

I swear I can hear the guitar riff from Baysee in a Sims 4 song, anyone know if they reuse it from this game?

This game made my childhood. I still have the same copy I've had for 12 years. I'm kind of curious, do you have a place where people can download/buy the MIDI files/sequences? I'd like to try my hand at remixes and covers if that's possible! I'm not sure how the copyright laws work, so I understand if you can't provide the files.

[@IanStocker]

To date I haven't released any source music files, but at some point it might happen. The closest I've come is posting recordings of the tracker files to this channel.

[@selfishhero1208]

ohhhhhhh the NOSTALGIA. I can't remember what I played first, spore creatures or spore itself. But man, I could listen to the music all night. I'd leave the DS on and just let it play

[@IanStocker]

[@nukkibunny]

[@skypaver989]
