Description
A taste of a Spore Galactic Adventure I'm working on. Based upon H.P. Lovecraft's renowned cosmic horror tale, "At the Mountains of Madness"Intrepid explorers and scientists from Miskatonic University undertake a journey to the freezing heart of the Antarctic wasteland. With pride and high hopes, the team trek across landscapes never before seen by mankind. Incredible discoveries are made, and the men find themselves on the verge of perhaps the greatest scientific breakthrough of their time. But their scientific curiosity came at a cost. Tragedy strikes one of the camps shortly after a unknown fossil is unearthed. The members are found slaughtered, the camp site in ruin. But strangest of all, the fossils have vanished...
Mortified, a rescue mission embarks to solve the mystery. But their journey will take them beyond the solace of their sanity and awaken unfathomable horrors that have been lurking in the dark corner of the Earth...
I have no idea when it will get completed, if it ever will. I'm aiming for two chapters.
Part 1 is being worked on.
In the mean time, enjoy this lovely image I took ingame.
Ya know, sometimes I wonder why I still bother to work on these hefty adventures...

I’d love to do a Fan Fic feature, but I don’t read much Fan Fic.

Oh my goodness, now that is an amazing sight, excellent use of the rocks there, and the fog effect really gives it a mysterious look

Thank you! I struggled to make the mountains the way the book describes them. Spore being limited as it can painfully be, made it hard to achieve. But thankfully the rocks did the trick!

I know what you mean, mountains are so fussy, If you got your spore working, why not make another movie? unfortunately my Five day war is going nowhere, and a few people complained saying i copied someone else's video, so I may or may not continue that
But it would be great to see some more content on youtube from you
Maybe i'll discontinue my series ;_;

I find myself using the rocks more and more to create the landscape I want, the inbuilt landscaping tools just don't cut it at times. At least, not for me.
I'm highly considering making another video! We both now the awkwardness of filming in Spore, getting those camera angles right and timing events But I'm highly considering creating some trailers for the Mountains adventure to put on Youtube, for both part 1 and 2.
Copied, really? A weightless accusation. I doubt there are many videos made with Spore that one would copy from. I'd be happy to see you keep making them! Up to you though
There are always more ideas out there! Perhaps recreating scenes from your favourite films in the game or something.

You know, you just gave me an idea!
The classic radio broadcast done by Orson wells, but in Spore!
Better get to work, I'll split it up though, we don't want people sitting watching my video for an hour would we?
and as for 5 day war, We'll see how that one turns out
looking forward to more video from you
And yes, Whenever i make an adventure, i surround most spots with large rocks, to make you feel like your in a canyon, or a ditch of some kind, the in-game mountains are just so round and dodgy,

Not a bad idea! Go for it
And thanks! We'll see what comes.
Looking forward to what you produce
Trust in the rocks!

I played your first version of it It was sometimes difficult to travel through the mountains and to know where to go, but I managed to finish it, and it was really good !

Oh wow, really? You played my first one? Haha it's not my proudest effort, but I think the important thing was to learn where I went wrong
Biggest mistake was trying to cram the incredible scope of the book into a single adventure.
The new one will have almost all objects able to be examined. Where I hope to include passages from the book on the elements Lovecraft described, just for added detail.
Really focusing on detail and nailing the atmosphere as best I can, or at least as best as Spore will allow!

I even played your Cry of Cthulhu and Shadow over Innsmouth adventures, and I really enjoyed it ! Spore sure can be annoying when it comes to realize complex interactions...like everytime I want a vehicle to move in a complicated path finding, it doesn't follow it, and become mad !

Tell me about it! The path finding mechanics are tedious as all hell! I always try to avoid it when possible.
