Spore Wars gets “unexpected” coverage
September 15, 2008I know, it seems like we’re on a RedFly high today! I was checking out the blog for RedFly Studios (it’s on the sidebar, after all) and read a very interesting article about Mushroom Men: Spore Wars. It seems that a site called “AlabamaMycologist” has experts that picked out inaccuracies within the game’s portrayal of Mushrooms. For example, the hero of the game, Pax, is considered a “bolete mushroom”, but he has been given gills rather than the tubes this type of mushroom realistically has.
The reason for this? According to the blog, it’s “a lot more visual fun than the tiny, spongy surface on the underside of an actual Boletus mushroom cap.”
Pretty neat if you ask me!
I was so confused when I read this article.
I assumed it was something to do with EA’s Spore and the entire thing just made no sense.. Until I followed the link. Thanks for unexpectedly linking me to what seems like a pretty cool wii game – and I’m always interested in reading about products made by smaller, less known dev teams.
Thanks for the comment
