I like this idea! Though since its Spore fiction, it might be better to ask EA if we can make a game with the Spore name - the best way I'd say to convince them would be that they need to fund none of it and get 60% of profit. It'll hurt the return of developers - but it would also keep EA off our back (almost) completely, as well as allow us to use things like the Grox.

For funding, I'd recommend you look into Kickstarter, since then we wouldn't need to ask for a budget from a company.
