 * 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? R3DS74R 01:56, 19 January 2009 (UTC)


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

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? --Mr. Scaves 19:52, 19 January 2009 (UTC)Mr. Scaves


 * 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.

 * 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)

 * 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)
 * Mr. 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)

 * How did you come up with all of the achievements? Skulls 20:18, 23 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Will, Are you going to make more games for people who can't afford the latest technology? I think your games are very special, although your games don't compete with games like Crysis, Your games are better since they are wanted by a wider audience, and your games make tons and hours of fun. Since I have the chance, I hope. Mr Wright. I wanted to tell you, That All of my friends are coming to my house to play Spore and The Sims 2. When They sleepover at my house, They can't leave the computer. I guess I can make a group of Spore/Sims Fanatics! :D Omnipotent Abren 20:20, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

I would like to know what's the real story of Bella Goth. Which is really real? Pleasantview or Strangetown Bella Goth? And finally... Why you don't want to work on The Sims 3? I think it is huge mistake... TheXmas 22:52, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Will, can I ask why were some sims like Dina and Nina Caliente, Mortimer Goth edited before the final release of The Sims 2?


 * First of all, let me say Spore is an amazing game. I'd like to ask you about the game balance - while in the earlier stages the balance is pretty consistent, in the Space Stage you can reach a point of effectively unlimited resources by building and terraforming sufficient colonies (just trading Spice in your own Empire). Did you ever consider putting in a counter or inhibiting factor to this geometric progression, in order to keep things fresh? If so, what? Do you consider Spore to be 'finished' or can we expect the game mechanics to be updated, or superseded by a 'Spore 2'? Thanks for your time. Targ Collective 22:38, 23 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Mr Wright, how do you answer the numerous critics that, while praising your software, condemn you for your lack of interest or influence in the means of its distribution and seemingly wilful hamstringing of the pleasure of your titles by allowing such restrictive security measures and almost purposefully unfriendly profiling? - Chris Jones, velocet@hotmail.co.uk


 * In the Sims 2, you could add your own music to the game by putting it in the music folder. In Spore, you cannot. Could there be a way to replace the In-Game Anthem with mp3s? If not, could you add this, please? >Tmy2u 23:23, 23 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Are there currently any plans to add space stations and satellites to the game to extend a players technology tree and empire? - Codie Henry


 * In an interview with Jill Tarter of SETI, regarding whether or not Spore was a valid model of evolution, you state that people who play your games start to argue with the assumptions of the model presented to them and eventually begin to transcend it. Do you think that this way of thinking should be prevalent in all edutainment games? What are some of the weaknesses of edutainment and how does Spore seek to address them? DerekRumpler 04:21, 24 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Where can I see my achievements? thanks. P.S. is it a coincidence that the deadline is in Chinese new year? – gelo

Are you going to come out with an expansion pack that includes a flora editor and an aquatic stage, it would be cool if you could pick to evolve into an aquatic creature instead of a land creature.-anonymous

 * Why are hamburgers not made of ham? - B

Fish Stage- Navigation just as space stage Ampibios-You ave the choise to stay in the water forever, but if you want to go on land, you can be some sort of amphibion before going to land Insect-Being able to be a tiny flying/grounded insect Weather- Rain/ day/night ect... Tech tree:instead of jumping to the tribe stage, research a tech, the same with tribe-civ and civ-space Creature: Flying, tribes in trees, underground,tribes underground, instead of space go to core of world Actions; Like being able to drag dead in creature stage wandering- some species have no nests and wonder on the plains floral editor: edit plants more buildings in tribe and civ stages the longer the legs the more speed, the bigger the body the more life ect... it costs to change spine length, arm size ect... you choose in which direction you want to evolve, then over a period on generations you start to grow the part. more food for herbivores, ie. grass more things on ground ie. poisinous plants, rocks, fallen trees, caves, different terrain diferent ecosystems like rainforest, snowy more parts in cell stage you should compete with other species not contend with them, as in the creature stage. diplomacy enhanced in space/civ
 * I have some ideas for potential expansion packs. Do you like them?


 * did you hurry the game and dumb it down beacuse of money needed for the extra coding, or the need to sell it quickly? (please do not take offence)


 * i always dreamt of being a videogame creator like you i was just about to start college and i was wondering what course did you take and where did you get all of you knowledge for video game making? i would really like to know it's been a long dream of mine --58.69.20.81 00:54, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

How do you think about your own mortality? Meaning: Do you think you move onward to a "better place", join old lost friends and family, or do you think that's it. Game over? Wrathofall 03:09, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
