Cody is confused. It's bright out here, and it's awfully drier than he remembers. But he no longer has to survive alone - it's nice to have some buddies. He's excited to get moving, but then he realises he's stuck.

What are legs? How do you work these things?

Eventually the game glitches out and throws Cody around the map a little. When he finally stationary again, he decides to explore his surroundings. He finds the carcass of a creature and decides to nibble on its remains. Apparently this really appeals to the ladies.

Can I help you?

I also find some sparkly bones. Turns out these bones contain new parts.

Yay! Treasure!

The game then encourages us to explore outside the realms of our own nest, so Cody goes for a walk. He finds a species called the Nookie. They regard him with confusion, and he is given the option of being nice in the hope of gaining allies or of stomping their species into the ground for no reason.

Greetings, Nookie.

Cody is feeling a little angsty after appearing on the surface for the first time, so he decides to take that out on these lesser beings by destroying them. The game rewards us for being pricks.

Committing genocide makes us smarter? Excellent.

After a long hard day destroying an entire species, Cody decides to return to the nest.

Hey guys - I'm home!

Apparently being a hardcore fighter guy gets all the ladies excited because immediately another of our species wants to mate with Cody. They do a little mating dance and everything. It's all very cute.

And 5, 6, 7, 8!

We enter editor mode and start working on Cody's offspring. The primary change we make is giving Cody's offspring arms. Arms are very useful, so I figure it makes sense that evolution provides them as soon as possible. Cody's son's name is Denver.

Hello! I'm ready to pummel nests with my fancy new arms.

When Denver is born the entire nest celebrates, waving their new arms around and dancing. Denver is taught how to charge, which will definitely help him destroy other species more effectively.

So I just run at them until they die? Charging sounds cool!

Denver decides the best thing for it is to go out and test his new skills. While exploring he quickly finds a new species called Grooby. You may think my tail looks like a penis, Jinx, but a least it's not my head. Denver decides to attack the penis-headed Grooby.

Bam! Smack! Crash!

And they are destroyed.

2014-06-09_00019.png
Take that! Mwahahaha!

After annihilating the Grooby and collecting the sparkly bone treasures from around their nest, Denver moves on to the next species - the Batzu.


And destroys them too.


Mass genocide is tiring, so after bringing the Batzu to extinction, Denver decides it's time to head back to the nest.

Man, I'm never going to get all of this blood out of my fur.

And waiting for him is a pretty lady, all hot and flustered from the bloodshed.


We collected some pretty excellent treasures during our exploration, so these babies should be pretty exciting. Find out what remarkable offspring Denver and his new mate have in the next instalment of Let's Play: Spore!
