This video was recorded by Rex Stanfield (Rexer) of Simphoni at Maxis Studios in Emeryvile, California on Friday, August 22, 2008. Caryl (MaxisLucky) Shaw demonstrates Spore two weeks before its release to a group of fan site representatives as part of Spore Community Day. The video recorded only around the first two-thirds of the demo before the camera’s battery gave up the ghost. But, some interesting new information about Spore is shown here.

Rex also captured an audio recording of the entire demo, and the questions and answers revealing new information about Spore were played and discussed as part of The Simphoni Podcast Special Spore Community Day Episode.

More information and discussion about the Community Day and Spore can be found at the Simphoni Forums.
