I'm sure many people feel the same way. Is there any chance that in the future knights will get their own archetype-switch missions? -- "little fire dragon", anonymous user.


 * Are their plans in the future to add the Aquatic and city stages ass well as add the ability for your homeworld to be more unique (desert wolrd, swamp world, etc) and more creature parts such as canine mouths? --Fox1211


 * Will you ever add an "advanced" mode to spore, and add in things like creature functionality being based upon physical design, as well as general greater depth of gameplay? I'd like to respect you again. --bgrunge


 * Will Spore get an update soon that will give it new achievements and will you think about making Spore online multiplayer? SPARTAN-A984 23:15, 18 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Are you thinking/designing/working on a new project that is spore/sim like qualities to it?--SUPERPAGE


 * There has been a substantial amount of outcry from the scientific community over claims that Spore is a game about science and evolution - Science Magazine even published a piece called "Flunking Spore", where a panel of scientists played and reviewed it. Obviously, some choices were due to hardware constraints, but would you consider changing the ones that clearly weren't (using Panspermia origin theory; vanishing the last generation of player's creature when they "evolve" it; allowing a creature to change almost completely within a single generation; no effect on speed from changing body mass, limb length, etc.) in a future patch, or, barring that, retracting the claim about Spore being a game about science?

 * What happened to the more realistic and gore graphics that we saw in the early stages of spore? -- Skaa


 * Will you ever make a Galactic Editor? -- SpOAD

In the space adventures expansion, what can you do once beamed down? Will you be able to collect items, shoot things with a ray gun, or even plant flags? Secondly will there be new tools and galactic objects,or maybe even gas giant floating cities?- Lewis Bean.
 * will you ever make new galaxcies? -- gokartwock


 * A second question incase you dont chose my previous one.Will patch 4 fix all the technical problems it currently has? secondly Is there the possibility of introducing a second,differently coloured galxy in an expansion pack like world of warcrafts extra areas? Finally, will the proper flora editor be as varied as the building or creature creators? that would be cool! thank you- Lewis Bean.

Obviously you are a very successful game designer with one of your games in the top best selling of all time. My question is, is there anything in the future that you have planned or would like to accomplish before you hit the grave?

 * SimCity, The Sims and Spore all have one striking similarity; they both give the player freedom. Do you beleive that freedom and the chance to "explore the game" is the most important ingredient in a "perfect" game? --Tophius 20:19, 19 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Does spore have a debug mode? 80.44.254.148 22:13, 19 January 2009 (UTC)


 * It is said that in Galactic Adventures you will have the ability to move freely outside your UFO, will you also be able to drive vehicles? And will we ever see the image of Spode? -- mireotite 17:22, 19 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Will there be a Spore 2?


 * Is an aquatic expansion or one with robots in the works ?


 * One of the most common complaints seen about Spore is it's lack of depth before the space stage. Is their any possibility that new content will be released that expand on those earlier stages or add new ones to fill in some blanks(For example: like how tribes go straight to a advanced civilization)? -- Alex L.
 * what was your favorite thing about spore -- JW
 * What happens when you colonize every star system in the galaxy? Do you go to another one? -Spore_nerd42, 00:53, Jan. 18, 2009

 * What is Cake Editor? Calculon12 12:04, 20 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Why did you make SPORE, and are you working on a SPORE 2? --Jonathan87 14:04, 20 January 2009 (UTC)


 * If you had to remake one of your games, which would it be and why? Scree Raymaker 14:16, 20 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Spore has been made in such a way that basically, the player models the appearance of many different things for one game consisting out of 5 minigames. The actual videogame experience does not change with the made objects, so there is no individuality (nor value of replayability) during the game. Although the same tactic has worked wonders for the Sims games, Spore is not the best kind of videogame to easily adopt the whole expansion pack thing. Why are new pieces of building content not freely shared by the creators, instead of sold for ridiculous prices, taking the very low value of actual in-game usability into consideration? --Jaedumuth 17:12, 20 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Do you have any plans to expand the Sim City series? Sim City 4 was a triumph, but I still believe it could be expanded. Any thoughts? Abyssalstudios 17:40, 20 January 2009 (UTC)


 * What other video games helped inspire you to make Spore?24.113.212.189 00:07, 21 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, what part of SPORE do you dislike personally, and what would you have done to tweak or change it? -- kelvino 00:11, 21 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Can you explain what the "Cake Editor" is, what it does, and if it is a reference to Valve's game Portal? -- "Baboo00 00:19, 21 January 2009 (UTC)"


 * When do you think spore for nintendo wii will be released? "user:king4wheel


 * Regarding the 2005 version of Spore, will we ever see that released? user:MichaelRichards

 * Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? -- Dontdiefox 04:15, 21 January 2009 (UTC)


 * do you plane to remake sim ant if you do are you going to relise it for the d.s.? User:TheRealkilo24


 * Will you make an addon or patch for spore with astroid bases, ringworlds, or maby more organic parts for vehicles and buildings? Raptor Bat


 * Will you ever consider making a spin off kind of play, where instead of evolving to land, you get the choice to stay underwater? It would be a good chance to add new parts, and give players more out of the game, so why not? Absolclaw 16:04, 21 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Would the player be able to make space stations as an alternative to planets? and arm them with all sorts weapons. it could appear a civilization city but with thrusters and a bubble over it?


 * Did you ever in a million years think that The Sims games would become so popular and addicting to people of all ages? --Kimberly E. [[User: evansk616}}


 * Have you ever thought of making a game or program that connects The Sims and Spore? Maybe Sims in Space? I'm a big fan of both series; I'd buy it. :) - Jesse M. Bobtheadventurer 19:01, 21 January 2009 (UTC)


 * What do you know now that you wish you knew when you started making Sim games?-Thunderforge 20:54, 21 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Being a Videogame designer, you obviously work with code and programming. Is there any one programming language that you find works better for Videogame programming, or worse?  What do you think would be the merits of a language designed specifically for Videogame programming?  23:10, 21 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Why is this game so massively underwhelming 64.246.122.202 23:17, 21 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Mr. Wright, I was wondering how you create such amazing games with all those 3D graphics and I bet there is a load of code you have to write and I also want to know what your inspiration for Spore was. User:Masterpie13


 * Now that you have set the bar for entertaining simulation games, what is next? Do you plan on continuing with improving on these type of games, or do you plan on treading in different waters?  Will there ever be an end to your creations? --Zildansia 10:45, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

stage a good idea could be about evolving legs from fins. Wormulon 11:31, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Will Wright, will there ever be a Galactic editor in Spore such as an expansion pack or patch, Spore is a great game. If there is ever an aquatic


 * If there was to be a 'Spore 2', then might it be focused around a universe? And, as to make the game more exciting, would each players galaxy have it's shape(arms) changed, but all other creatures created remain the same that were created by that player?


 * The Spore concept is facinating. Is there a plan for an expanded, single stage game using the same engine? Sea sparrow 15:33, 22 January 2009 (UTC)


 * In your career you came from cities to sims to worlds to the whole galaxy. Do you believe that there are limits to simulation?--201.79.208.160 19:23, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
