Maxis recently announced that Spore fans and the creatively curious have designed and shared more than 250,000 new alien life forms in the 48 hours after launch of the Spore Creature Creator. Several unique creature creations are being shared every second.

"The response to the Spore Creature Creator has been overwhelming," said Lucy Bradshaw, executive producer of Spore at Maxis. "The creativity and passion that the community is putting into their creatures is spectacular. The development team has spent the last 24 hours checking out the amazing creations racing in from all corners of the globe - with peak volume hitting more than 1,000 creatures being shared a minute."
More about the Creature Creator:

The Spore Creature Creator is a stand-alone product and creativity toy box where players create their own unique creatures, bring them to life with entertaining animations, and share them online with friends around the world. The full version of the Spore Creature Creator will be available for $9.99 at retail stores or by visiting www.spore.com. A free trial version of the Spore Creature Creator is also available today at www.spore.com. The trial version features 25% of the creature-making parts from Spore and lets players shape, paint and play with their custom-created creatures. Creatures made in the Spore Creature Creator can also be imported into the full Spore game, allowing players to populate their own galaxies when the game ships worldwide later this year.

The Spore Creature Creator lets players create their own creatures, take them on a test drive, snap pictures, and make movies of them. Sharing pictures or videos with friends is as easy as the click of a button. Players can also share their creations with others by uploading to the Sporepedia™ at www.Spore.com. The Sporepedia is an extraordinarily vast online destination where people worldwide can search for and share Spore creations, comment on other player's designs, check out celebrity creature creations and much more.
The Spore Creature Creator is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB and can be purchased for $9.99 at retail stores or from the Spore website. A downloadable demo version is available for free.

The full Spore game is scheduled to ships on September 5, 2008 in Europe and September 7, 2008 in North America and Asia. Follow the links below for more information.

The interesting question is: how many of these 250,000 have appendages looking suspiciously like reproductive organs?

Now now, don't be so cynical.  I saw one a couple days ago that didn't have a giant penis.

It's now actually near 700,000 creatures uploaded so far ... and none of mine have reproductive organs (of any noticeable size). Some of my kids creatures are absolutely bizarre though. Apparently, the idea of a species needing "subtle camouflage" to survive in their environment isn't something in his repertoire quite yet.
