Spore Speedrun to Ally the Grox Empire starting from Cell Stage on Easy Difficulty in 55:04 (56:57 Real Time). Let me know what you thought of this run and the commentary. I had a lot of fun making this Post commentary and I'm always looking for ways to improve for future videos!

Later I realized I kept referring to becoming a "Predator" as "Aggressive" for Creature Stage and "Social" as "Friendly" for Tribal. I was using these terms since these are the 'setconsequencetrait' cheat codes for these Stages, and I didn't realize that the History called these differently.

Big thanks to Andrey for suggesting this speedrun challenge!

    I love how he says so calmly: "we just started every war in the galaxy"
  • @SydneyPawYT
    I love the fact that the moment you allied the grox the entire galaxy transmissioned you at the same time

    19:17 he is trying so hard not to laugh at the baby spinning by the fire
  • @kirbcake
    I love how despite this being a speedrun, he still tries to make his creature look good rather than just a mass of parts.
  • @perrytran9504
    Imagine if aliens forcefully converted everyone on Earth just to scrap a few cities for cash.
  • @Steven-nq7fx
    56:59 The transmission is so huge, it's like the entire galaxy hear the news and said "YOU WHAT?"

    I love that you can be Friendly with the Grox and they will STILL shoot at you, they are so hardwired for war.

    40:07 can we just appreciate how committed to their "ocean" these people are that they have a tiny puddle of water that's about the size of their dockyard?

    "Hello captain, what do you require" "I'm allying with the Grox" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" 40:30

    a spiecies, which specificaly crawled out of the ocean to get a tier 3 sub for the grox
  • @mtronette8905
    It's amazing to see how people still play Spore to this day
  • @coconoisette
    "saving does count for time" I love how the management of game crashes are an integral part of the speedrun skfjcjn
  • @VeryPeeved
    well, to be fair, most creatures that are referred to as "carnivores" do have plants in their diet to some degree, and vice versa. horses are a good example of the latter, as they are notorious for being opportunistic carnivores. i live in a relatively rural area, and it's not uncommon to see a horse just casually lean down and snap up a chick that passes by. so it's not unrealistic for the game to consider you a carnivore despite an appreciable portion of your diet being plant matter.

    Ctrl+S is the save hotkey. Probably wouldn't save you more than half a second but it's much quicker and more effective
  • @hroberson3397
    Everyone always talks shit on Spore but I loved it growing up and still play it every once in a while. Recently though it's stopped working on my computer, which makes me very sad! I'm glad to see there's a community around it, and even speedrunners.

    The other day my tribal run was messed up because a spaceship that was abducting a creature picked up my chieftain in the abduction beam and dropped him. This makes it so the chieftain dies and cant be replaced so be careful in future runs if you encounter a spaceship in tribal stage
