Spore Community Day: Followup

It still feels like a whirlwind going around in my head. Trying to remember everything and having my memory triggered by other posts and questions. Jud from Simprograms compiled a list of information from all of our sites and I wanted to re-host it here to make sure everyone gets all of the links. Please read everyone’s write up because each of us had a different game play experience and you might learn something from them that I didn’t write about.  Everyone was so nice and it was great to meet other Spore fans and share the experience. Though Steve wasn’t at the event, he was invited and due to family commitments he wasn’t able to attend. We all missed having him there as did the Spore team. Keep checking back for updates to the links.

Keep reading after the jump for some final notes, links to other sites and some buildings and UFO’s on the Sporepedia.
