I don't want to ruin your hope, but nor is it fair that people are playing it.

I am 100% certain that site is a fake. It has been ripped from the original Spore website (from 2006 to early 2008, and is available on webarchive). The screenshots from the Creature stage are from the demo. I don't know how they got the Aquatic stage screenshots, though Spore Galactic Adventures can make convincing aquatic environments (creatures are low to the ground as well). With a little Photoshop, they could make the lighting look more authentic.

Look at the domain name of the website. The authors have used WIX, which gives free webhosting at the price of having the name "wix.com" in the URL. If they are game developers, they can't even pay a small amount towards a domain name.

It would not be legal for indie developers to make a Spore 2. Electronics Arts owns the title, they would need to be subsidiaries of the company as well as having to produce a convincing pitch. They are not part of EA, for there are not mentioned.

Now lets look at the main website, "Sky Games". Again this one is hosted by Weebly website builder; these guys can't even code simple HTML5 and JavaScript functions! They advertise a lot of titles from a lot of different companies, many aimed at games never released and appealing to the sandbox genre. I ask, where are they getting the money to buy rights to them, when they can't even pay for a domain name? They have a post to debunk suspicions, but its all very weak "We are not a physical company, We have no particular address, We cannot release a development build of Spore 2, or any other games we have in development, because they are (still) in early development, and are very unstable." They have also started cancelling the games they guaranteed us to build.

I actually found the Sky Games website as couple of months ago. These developers were saying they were going to build "Grand Theft Pony". I'm sorry but its a massive joke, probably by one or more people from Sporum.

Luckily, there is an alternative. There is a genuine project to build a Spore-like game called Thrive. I do not know how successful it is, its been going for years but they have made prototype games I believe. Its a community-supported project so you could even get involved with that.
