Hello GB,

Can we get Spore Achievements added to the Achievements tab?  Here's an example:

http://www.spore.com/view/achievements/centisteed

The way I see it, once Galactic Adventures comes out in late June, Spore is basically space WoW minus the monthly fees.  GB should go ahead & add Spore in there as well.  There is something like 26 million creatures created for it, so somebody must be playing the game.

I definitely love the game to some degree, although I've been side-tracked by Fallout 3 for awhile.

Thanks for listening.
Lind

I'd prefer to get Steam achievements or PS Trophies as more people have those.

Is there a Spore Achievements API? They need an API to integrate them into Giant Bomb.

Steam Achievements are confirmed as coming.

PlayStation network Trophies do not yet have an API. Once one is made available, I'm sure the Engineers will lay down their shotguns and get to work on it.

Good point.  I'll check their community forum & see if there is an api.  They would probably want to spread their achievement data far & wide to other sites I would imagine.

EDIT:  Oh there it is. I didn't have to look very far to find API action:

They've already thought of it.  The adaptability of Spore is one of the things I've liked about it. Runs on just about any weak PC system too (unlike Sims 2 for example).

Here is how one guy did it on the developer page:

Although I hate to read all the achievements until I've been through the entire game.  Here is how one of the achievements look, called Bio-engineer:

Edit 25 creatures with the Creature Tweaker

Good stuff I'm sure the talented folks at GB could make it work if they have the resources.  I might look at how I can do it myself by any kind of html embedding just for shits & giggles.
