yeah, somethings like that - only in a more comunity/MMO type of thing

I think Spore is going to have a community element where people can trade species, buildings and environments all of which are created procedurally.

Basically everything which is created is sent to a big central database automatically so there's like a global universe.

I agree it would be an interesting concept for a 'pet site', pretty advanced though.

Spore isn't coming out until about September this year I think, it's the one game which I'm really excited about waiting for.

I guess for a simplified way of doing it you could have basic body shapes with numerous limbs and body parts which can be mixed up to create new 'species' rather than having completely unique ones created procedurally. Then on top of the body shapes you could almost have unique textures for skinning them. It's even simpler if you're keeping the images to 2d so there's only a few aspects.
