Certainly looks interesting, but for now I'll stick to STO

It's based on Spore and acts kinda like a sequel, except it's not a sandbox game or strategy game.  It features RPG elements around what made Spore so awesome: customizable creatures.

Is it a fan game or made by the same company?

It's under Electronic Arts and Maxis, silly.

Here's the trailer:

The game releases at the end of March, but the game is undergoing a rare beta test.

Well, they didn't want to make a Spore 2 that just has everything the first one had with a few more features.  I don't buy into the whole Sims 1 2 3 thing.  They wanted to take the best parts of Spore and surround it with a different kind of game.

They should have made Spore what they were originally going to make it though: Realistic and Non-cartoony.

I agree.  I could never tell if they made it that way to lower the target audience or to make it easier on the graphics engine...      ...or both.
