Oh wow that is very cool, all the prizes have been UK only recently though

LordPyrinc · 13th Sep 2008, 00:46

If the winners are chosen randomly, what need is there of judges?

HugoB · 13th Sep 2008, 01:39

WANT!

Also: please, oh please let the winner be a phallus monster!

The_Pope · 13th Sep 2008, 09:09

It's the judge who selects it at random, and therefore his decision is final. It's pretty standard competition T&Cs, albeit some legalese

The boy 4rm oz · 13th Sep 2008, 09:59

Damn, not for us Aussies.

Somehow I have missed the part about where to get the tool, can someone point me to a download page? I assume it's free.

Tim S · 13th Sep 2008, 12:52

If you don't own the game, the free version is available here: http://eastore.ea.com/store/eaemea/e...ctID.101447000

Agent_M · 13th Sep 2008, 13:56

is it one entry only or can we submit a few creatures?

Hiren · 13th Sep 2008, 15:37

One entry per person only please.

andybones · 14th Sep 2008, 10:15

will be getting this game soon.so might enter.

Bauul · 14th Sep 2008, 13:31

Only one entry per person? Argh, that sucks! I've got so many good ones!

I'll put some final touches to one tonight and then submit it.

HugoB · 14th Sep 2008, 16:13

CTRL-SHIFT-C "addDNA" (while within the creature creator) - still limited by the complexity meter though.

jezmck · 15th Sep 2008, 21:23

Is the postcard feature in the free creature creator?

g3n3tiX · 10th Oct 2008, 15:37

Funny creature, but I've seen ones I like more.
Congrats, and I want to see the model sent to the winner !

Bauul · 10th Oct 2008, 15:53

Woohoo! Yay! Thank you Bit! For those wondering, the creature (named DopDop) was my fiance's first attempt with the creature creater, and we had a ball making him, so as such is more of sentimental value than artistic merit. I can only presume it was the emotional back-story that got me the win! The model will make an awesome Christmas present, so thank you so much Bit-Tech. Whoop!

DarkLord7854 · 10th Oct 2008, 17:23

Can we see all the creatures that were submitted?

BurningFeetMan · 11th Oct 2008, 00:08
