Spore is an amazing game. Had some more fun with this one. Give a shout if you have any other challenge ideas!
Hey Ambiguous, have you ever tried Kerbal Space Program? I think it’s the perfect game for you to make a video out of, and I’m sure you’d enjoy it a ton!
Are vultures kindivores
geiy
This was really creative froggo! For a space stage challenge, see if you can ally the Grox! It's really difficult and you get a real surprise if you can do it successfully.
ally the Grox. War is truth, peace is a lie. Only you and the Grox are allowed to exist in the galaxy, all others must be purged
“Violence is abhorrent - but meat is delicious.” Is somehow the most profound thing to me as I struggle stave off factory farming.
Does packaging on meat products have the same kind of info as on eggs? Ie, whether the meat was raised free-range or in a barn, etc
If not, it totally should imo
@@CryptP usually it will yeah. Or just go to a butcher and ask. Unfortunately the ethical option is always more expensive so people tend not to.
@@CryptP free range is just aas bad as factory farming. stop taking lives. you can live without it :)
@@ashleykettle343 the ethical option would be veganism.
@@mato4334 No :)

I love how Spore uses your other saved games as tribes or spaceships
Well my creations i made as a kid haunt me to this day.
Like what do i do if jsksjfiwsal tries to kill me?
@@Dantomer 💀
Oh dang, did ye miss the heyday of Spore when people had accounts? _Every_ stage except Cell stage could get not just your own creations, but creations from all sorts of people across the internet.
Man I wish that was possible in Stellaris!
@@kikiretzorg1467 this is still the case, but more of a hassle to get ur account code etc through steam.
An example of a pacifist carnivore is a vulture 90% of the time
But spore makes little since so realism doesn’t help
Or any other weak and fragile scavengers. Like humans... or rather our far removed ancestors. Properly fed human is a very big pissed off ape that moves in groups.
@@TheArklyte Weaklings don't kill mammoths.
@@fus132 Big brain make javelin. Javelin deadly, kill big animal. Get big meat, eat for many days. Much better than fist or rock.
Where do I work out? The cave painting cavern.
@@fus132 here weren't any mammoths back when our furthest ancestors first climbed down to steal the bone marrow left behind by predators.
Modern humans are the ones, who hunted mammoth and are the said pissed off massive omnivore apes. Only gorillas are reliably bigger then us, I would say that we're bigger then chimps and at least comparable to orangutans. We move in groups, use tools almost never tire and actually are the hunters. Wild humans are actually horrifying.
@@TheArklyte Not to mention that humans are the absolute best out of all animals at ... throwing things. Our arms are quite flexible and powerful for their size.
I just saw you can turn the zombies in project zomboid off, and it makes me wonder, if every other world setting is set to the hardest possible, but zombies are set to zero, how long can you survive man vs world? Can you progress to the point where survival is trivial and mundane? Will your character muddle on to the end of their natural life, completely and utterly alone and isolated from any form of human contact, even the undead, or will being the last person left behind after the apparent rapture drive them mad and eventually to suicide?
Say, that's an interesting idea
10/10, would love to see this.
@@ambiguousamphibian though you may need to turn off the mandatory helicopter event to maintain last human immersion.
With the right adjustments and a smaller map it could also make for some interesting hunger games style multiplayer server.
imagine making the settings so that all the items as rare. finding a bag of chips will make that day the best day of you're life
AA: "how will we eat meat and be peaceful at the same time?"
Scavenger animals: "First time?"
Humans before spear and projectile hunting lol
Most scavengers aren’t even peaceful, they eat whatever is possible for them.
@@drewinsur7321 We weren't really human then. The first human species was a hunter.
@@reecetaylor2626 first human species were, indeed, scavengers.
@@flamboyant_wolf homo erectus shows extensive evidence of being hunters. They may have scavenged as well, but they were hunters by nature
"They lack critical thinking, and soon go back to dancing" is what got me xD
yes the way it looked up for a second as if it was thinking before starting to dance again was so funny lmaooo
Why barely any replies
80% of the reason I watch your videos is for the storytelling and vocabulary. Great stuff
he basically thesaurus all his narrative
You are not wrong
Been hooked on his storytelling since Gerald Williams
@@Scorn0027 with me it was since Orange in the ice sheet
Bruh i hope youre in middle school lmfaoo
I feel like a creature like this would just straight up evolve to look as terrifying as possible without actually being dangerous, to discourage predators from attacking it and potentially drive predators away from their kill to more effectively scavenge.
Go with something that looks like a giant Stick Bug. Terrifying due to size but can dance very well due to long limbs
a foul taste and smell may also help it out
Just get a vulture.
There's examples of this in reality. Some species evolve to copy the look of other dangerous species in order to scare away other animals and people that know to avoid things that look like that. When you see a vibrantly colored animal like a bug or lizard, it's basically a 50/50 on whether it's horrifically venomous or harmless.
@@vastowen4562 Yep, mimicry is a powerful defensive tool. In this case it would be used offensively, to not just drive predators away from them but also away from slain prey to scavenge, which doesn't happen quite as often irl.
Dammit, naming the carnivore "kindivore" was yet another stroke of genius. Keep it up this is amazing
Fun fact: you can’t actually befriend everyone in the space stage. The
Moment you become Allie’s with the Gruk, all other species go to war with you.
more because warrior species despiete you can be ally with them they startto become bully with you and i am like swiss; armed neutrality and don't touch my spices!
You can get them all back to allies with enough work though
you need like +200 in relationships or dont ever click on the messages of them afetr befriendign the grox and then you can still have them

I legit write stories as a hobby and I was like: "Motility? He must mean mobility" but you kept saying it and I had to google it. Turns out I get to learn a new word today. Also "All decisions are unanimous, since we have evolved out of disagreement and we share the same blockchain ledger" slayed me
That is how I felt the whole time
English isnt my first language and sometimes I just accept what he says without questioning it
As I was reading the quote he said it in the video shshbs
Spore is definitely not a children's game
Remember the cutscene when you obtain a city in civilization stage ? None of the residents are of other species, even if you're re completely pacifist in the tribal stage
This shows the deep and complicated machinations of the extreme discrimination, with the end results making other race citizen extinct without compromising their image as a benevolent race/leader
Such is nature, unless subverted.
This reminds me of my Stellaris empire - formally an egalitarian, liberal democracy. In practice around 95% of its leadership is of the original species, despite 2/3 of the empire's citizens being of different species. And I have genetic modification programs that limit the fertility of some alien species. Wonderfully corrupted ideals :D
Does anyone know if a spore mod exists where your space stage empire can have biodiversity? Like an option for the colonies to be inhabited by different-looking beings?
The cell stage is always so satisfying to me. I remember loving the creature stage, choosing my creature features. They really need to make a new spore game. Maybe less for kids and more serious
If they do maek a new game, I hope they make the cell & creature stages longer, I didn'T like the space stage.
@@padmanabhanvaidyanathan7182 I hope space stage would be more interesting and more adventure tasks.
Elysian Eclipse is heavily inspired by spore, and is meant to be "A spiritual successor to Spore"
Oh god the strutting in place while the camera was panned down at 6:57 made me have to pause the video and clutch my stomach from laughing, incredible challenge run!
Asserting dominance in the wild
@@snowdude635 Amen
dude managed to make the most dystopian and insidious dictatorship out of pacifism in a slow, nearly imperceptible descent. well done
I did wonder why Spore didn't let you play as a scavenger, considering how many real-life species do so. Come to find, they do let you play as a scavenger; you just have to be creative about it.
you can beat the creature stage by only eating stolen eggs
Finding natural enemy species that constantly fight each other but are both befriended to you is absolutely hilarious watching them murder each other and then wave at you, instantly ceasing combat seeing you
The Kindivore is the carnivorous version of a moth. As soon as it goes through metamorphosis, it is unable to do anything but reproduce and then die of starvation.
EDIT: Lmao I come back after three months and there's a ton of people who lost their hentai innocence, this is great XD

The Kindivores tribal stage was genuinely beautiful and glorious and the raising of eggs and presumably the getting of milk being the catalyst for massive societal and cultural change is very fun!
If you wanted to get super in-depth, they would likely also recycle the meat from their farm animals after they've died naturally. It would be tough and dry, but meat is meat.
"Pacifist carnivore" sounds a whole lot better than "scavenger"
Nah not really.
"We eat meat. But only the meat that is already dead." seems like some crazy Psychic Alien Civiliation's way of thinking.
I mean. Do you eat live animals?
@@HorseEater I've had live octopus, so yeah? The thing is that humans are like the only creature next to scavengers on the entire planet that mainly eat dead things. Also we CAUSE the death actively of the creatures we consume.
God I wish someone would make a Spore 2, it could be so good
They did and it was an mmo then went in the trash. Someone may have made a custom surver but im not sure if it is still maintained.
@@jebsism are you talking about Dark Spore?I think that game got shut down
@@genericname2747 i believe so
The 20th of this month
@@jebsism dark spore was only spore in name and editor, it wasn't part of the franchise
2:38 "And even if we can't save our fellow brethren, we can still eat them."
That made me chortle.
Seeing my own ships on the creature stage was probably one of the most insane moments I had when I was a kid playing this game
Spore is quite possibly one of my favorite games of all time. This is just imo but I think games that let you customize and create something that make you use you use your creativity are absolutely amazing. Thats why it makes me so sad that E.A took such a downfall. They made amazing games before they became greedy and its honestly so sad. I still hope a Spore: Remastered is made.
even if a remaster was made it would still be lackluster, since the original studio that made it was disbanded by ea. Spore wouldn't be spore without maxis's charm
Ah, truly a blessing to see more of these enlightening videos!
Lol you're gonna reach half the likes amphibian has XD
Love how you left the flesh on the arms and legs fused together a little for quite some time. Spore players do all love to see that kind of thing, I believe
I love that you can literally just dance your way through the game
Pacifist carnivore is like a dumpster diver excited to find expired eggs
I wouldnt mind seeing a full multi-part spore playthrough
Your story making and spore are my 2 favourite things
Spore has always remained a stain on Will Wright's career in the eyes of many gamers. Not unlike Fable for Peter Molyneux, Spore was, to many, a bundle of lies and broken promises. Not to me. Spore has remained a fun, auspicious, and innovative title that I've loved since GDC 2005 when it was first displayed. When support for it was cancelled and the servers shut down, I was genuinely upset. Launching the game today and seeing only Maxis made creatures truly feels like a waste.
But when Amphibian plays a new Spore challenge none of that matters. Spore becomes the sandbox that it was to me, 15 years ago. No mouth torso playthrough when?
At least you can still download user creations.
The servers are still around. You just need to have the game on Origin to play online.
the servers aren't shut down, they're still active. it's just a pain to make an account, but there are guides online to get it working for both steam, origin and gog
I love how the other aliens wouldn't socialize with you until you got rid of the mustache.

"Efforts were made to brainwa- Persuade the rebeling factions to forfit they're warlike causes"
Yeah... Persuade.
I just found out about your channel a couple of days ago, and I already binge watched through basically all your videos. You are something special my friend, keep up the great work!
"Violence is abhorrent, but meat is delicious"
Felt that shit on a spiritual level
10:14 LOL the cut of the tube creature.
Your worm video was randomly promoted to me earlier today and now, at 10 PM, I have decided I am addicted to your storytelling and will be binging your Spore videos as it brings back all of the memories in the best way possible. Thank you for existing.
I saw one of your episodes firstly two days ago and I've fallen in love with your way of telling a story through the gameplay, it is absolutely lovely! I would love to see an episode where you try to kill absolutely everything you see, no exclusions (except maybe your own kin).
I love the narration, this is what other pacifist runs are missing xD
To be fair, For a species like this to survive they would need to evolve and extreme level of individual intellect.
no?
@@JoelJernbergPalm yes?
Currently in bed in agonizing amounts of pain but thank you for making my day a bit brighter with a video. I often times go to you to have something to listen to, and you certainly help. Good lad.
God I'm happy I discovered your channel I've been in such a tough place recently and your channel cheers me up
Should add to this in a stellaris run, as a pacifist warlike/militaristic race
Being a writer and a game nerd, i quite like this channel, you provide so many narratives it gets my imagination fired up and i can't help but want to create
Seeing AA -struggling- striving through a similar challenge in Rimworld would be -hilarious- an experience in philosophy.
The sims 1 music with this is absolute perfection.
5:06 No female creature can resist to those glorious mustaches.
The World Famous "Kindvore's Killer Mustache"
Jabberwocky is one of my favorite poems! I appreciated the references you threw in there!
"I wish to see a person get eaten alive."
"That's Kinda-Vore"
Such a good video dude, keep it going ! Youre prob my favorite content creator, I especially enjoy your rimworld videos !
The 1.6k likes to no dislike ratio is truly a sign of the kindivore's universal acceptance
A fun challenge I like to do is limiting what parts I am able to use on my cell/creature. Depending on what sort of species I want (avian, reptilian, amphibian, insectoid, etc.) It adds a bit to the cell and creature stage. You can get creative on how you wanna play tribal, civilization and space stage from there then.
Also, the Dark Injection mod adds a lot of fun stuff to the game to create with.
Ambiguousamphibian : beautifully narrating the cell stage
Me : Vibing with the old Sims music
I remember thinking of a challenge like this a long while ago and doing it. Never completed the space stage but it was interesting trying to stay alive as the friendliest carnivore without trying to kill things for meat.
Bro, I needed this video.
You can't imagine how much I needed to laugh.
If I see you I would give you a hug
Thanks for the time and effort you invest in your productions; they are very much appreciated and enjoyed -thank you
your videos are quickly becoming my new favourite thing, your sense of humour and method of prose is impeccable, please never stop storytelling!
Amph, your commentary is always so good. How do you manage to be so damn skilled at this?
Spore has been one of my absolute favorite games since the day it came out and it makes me so happy it’s still being played. Wish it got the remake treatment because it is jank af, but you still love to see it!
"Our dietary revolution was at STEAK."
Oh, you clever little sausage, you.
The tone of voice of the narration somehow makes this absolutely hilarious
"There is an entity of the kindivore-" I like this reference
I love the way the cars in the Civilization stage still retain the stylized Moustache Motif !!!!! : )
This video is absolutely amazing! Thank you for this piece :)
I have now seen quite a few of your videos... but this is my absolute favourite!
I understand this game less and less every time I see a video about it.
this creature could be a scp where the foundation found a hidden race anomaly and they try to shoot them and after they get shot their brethren just dance over the sight where their kin get slaughtered lmao
7:02 PITIFUL WORM CAMEO YOOOOOO
If you don’t know, people do other spore challenges where their creature looks like that from the very beginning of cell stage to making it to the universe’s center.
Your storytelling skills are just incredible, so enjoyable to watch and listen to
Pacifist carnivore. You mean a scavenger? Something that doesn't hunt, but just eats anything something else has already killed.
"dog owned by the worst kind of vegan" simulator, nice
The T-bagging joke sent me into a laughing fit. Thank you so much for that excellent execution.
Please keep making Spore content! I love this game
Isn't this just UberDangers video i mean it has the same jokes and almost the same concept
I think this is some of your most interesting problem solving, good stuff
Those story telling skills are phenomenaaaaal! Rly liked the vid ^^
Love the callbacks to your previous blind run. :)
This was one of the most entertaining and interesting challenge runs with story I've ever seen.
This is tremendous lmao you've made a whole story out of it. Great vid
12:02 “one by one, the free nations of men fell” made me laugh my ass off for some reason lol 😂
The eyes 👀 lool I love how the water jet just turns into a big bum hole when he makes it onto land 😭😭😂😂
I dont know who you are, but your commentary and storytelling throughout the entire game is absolute gold.
Good video 10/10 would reccomend
this is the type of content im always looking for. just perfect.
your videos bring me so much joy
03:03 you ate the guy that was next to the meat when you grew
ghandicus:allies with the grox and end up in war with the entire universe, leading to their downfall.
kindivores:**cheese the ghost save ship exploit**
Your commentary is so.. unique? Honestly I'm in love with it
Once again the Sims 1 buy/build music is a nice touch in this video.
Also glad to hear SimCity 4 music make an appearance. 2000’s Maxis games had tracks that slap.
Although being an Obligate Carnivore makes this challenge WAY more interesting, you actually CAN make creatures that are Opportunistic Carnivores. By giving your creature a filter feeder as well as jaws (or just a proboscis) and then continuing to eat meat, you can take the carnivore path while still keeping the omnivorous ability. As long as you don’t remove the filter feeder/proboscis after this, you can keep eating both meat and plants. (If you sell either the filter or proboscis you won’t be able to get it back since you only have access to carnivorous mouthes in creature stage with the predator card)
Commentary is usually top-draw but it has ascended to God-tier in this video 🔥🔥🔥
That word you came up with, "kindivore", made me smile and gave me a little chuckle.
I discovered this magnificent channel just 2 days ago, and I started watched the Spore series backwards.. it was like entering an alien filled universe.
"Whenever they don't like us enough, we buy a happy ray! This actually exists."
One of my favorite lines spoken in Spore videos.
It's so good to see one of my all-time favorite games getting some more love.
This is the first video I’ve seen from this channel, I am immediately impressed.
Now, see, this is one of the things I really like about Spore; You *could* have cheaped out and had your creature be just a scavenger, no different than a vulture or striped hyena, but instead you went with a mayfly approach (a rather creative choice, all things considered!).
People make up their own sorta "stories" and justifications for why some things in their playthroughs occur the way they do, and in a way, it's that room for adding imagination that can make a rather... for a lack of a better term "repetition reliant" game, into something we feel some attachment to. Something we project ourselves into beyond just making a wacky creature, building, vehicle, etc. on the computer screen.
So let me ask you: How did you create the universe?
Those Jabberwocky references were tight as hell. Your efforts have been noticed
