This is a one-time limited run thru January 6th (oddly appropriate date happened by coincidence lol). After that, they'll never be available again! Also big thanks and shoutout to my CZcamsr friend martincitopants whom I checked with since I'd never worked with Makeship before, and if you'll recall, he did an amazing campaign with them earlier this year. The plushes themselves are nice and feel high quality with the sample they sent me, so rest assured. Either way, you never have to buy anything to show you enjoy my videos, but if you ever wanted something that reminds you, I thought this would be a nice way to do a little collaboration for the holidays. Thanks -AA :)
might want to pin ur comment bud
Just bought it! :D
Hope I can get me one on payday, if you sell out I'll scream upon the rooftops, cursing your name for all eternity, damnation with you! End to your lineage before you may bare fruit!
Pro tip (that has probably been said a million times now), you can back up any save of any game by finding the save file and copying it to a folder.
Of course, the effort of that makes it not worth doing constantly when it might only be useful once every few months. But hey, the more you know...
I wish AA had more sponsored content by himself 😔
There's something special about watching worms develop a military industrial complex.
Lolol
This was the appeal of worms 3d
literally wormz
It's what God intended
Worm that is obsessed with using nukes. Mahatma Groundhi.
"You can keep him fresh in your fridge!"
The implication that leaving the plushie outside of the fridge risks the plushie becoming not fresh, or decomposing, is only mildly horrifying
I mean it works in conan exiles.... x)
You might have missed a crucial mechanic if you follow the dotted line on the map (in creature stage) or just go very far out you can find random nests of your kind you can claim these as your main nest and in this way secure yourself a seaside village in the tribal stage. You might even be able to claim your original nest back idk tho never tried that myself.
played this game since i was 9 and im just now finding out about that in a random youtube comment
Bonus points if you find the planet in Space stage with another creature (New game planets are always on yellow stars, and the main menu gives you a good hint of roughly where it is) , edit it with terra tools so that it's one big mega continent, THEN start your file. You can take your pick of pretty much anywhere on the planet too, using what you said.
Can place any of the terraforming stuff onto it, change it's colour, ect.
Only thing you can't do IIRC is Degrade it's terra level, that makes it lose it's "new game planet" status.
I used to do that a lot back in the day, to get more interesting starts and planets.
If you want to find it even easier, you could just start that planet in space stage, note down nearby star names, then close without saving. look for those names with the other file, ect.
@@Verdiumm I never thought about that, like I knew I could find my other space stage worlds but it totally makes sense you could also do it to a new game.
Hmm thanks - will try it next time! This game has 10000000 exploitable things like that I keep learning lol
Excuse me, WHAT???

It's really cheap on steam currently. I know I don't know you but if you want it the offer is there. My steam name is also Pogal and I have the same profile picture.

Your determination to complete this challenge despite the game doing everything it can to stop you is incredible, congrats!
5:30 Saved game data is stored in the "Spore" folder in the Roaming files in Windows, accessed by searching "%appdata%" in Windows search. Getting a backup of the Spore folder here after each save will allow you to restore any previous save point that was backed up. Should hopefully make future Spore videos easier to produce because it's awesome seeing people enjoying Spore so much!
You sir are a golden god. Also thank you for that amazing piece of information. This will make life far less painful in the future lol. I salute you 🤠🤠
4:55 "...Just getting lucky some of the time" is the most accurate and concise description of evolution I've ever heard.

Just dropping a comment for the algorithm purely from how many times this challenge had to be restarted. You are an absolute madlad AA
This challenge proves that if AA was a worm we would still subscribe to his channel.

I understand you deliberately made your vehicles in the pitiful image of your people, but my strategy for Hard Civ stage was to build max speed vehicles at first to claim every possible geyser.
Then use the funds to buy good relations with every nation.
Eventually one nation will conquer everyone. I didn’t interfere, just made sure they were on my side.
Then I waited. I let my coffers swell as my one independent city coexisted with the planetwide empire.
Once I had maxed out my cash, I declared war on them after building as many vehicles as possible.
Their military might fell upon me with strict programming to destroy my turrets first. Every time a turret fell, I purchased a replacement before the fragments hit the pavement.
I’ll admit this was years ago and I don’t quite remember how I ultimately won. I think their entire military was besieging my city which allowed me to maneuver my vehicles unimpeded. Either that or they eventually ran out of resources and couldn’t do much once their cloud of aircraft was destroyed.
I had fun.
"I spent four hours guarding lettuce, then being ambushed and manhandled by bigger, stronger species"
It's nice to know Gerald Williams got to reincarnate
The space stage is my fav stage in spore, but that might be because I had the dlc that let you go on quests with your little guy and also make your own quests! I absolutely loved making my own quests
I personally didnt like it as much since the game goes from individual control to bigger and bigger scale empire control. Personally I would have liked a stellaris type space stage but simplified so also kids can enjoy it since it was made for wide audience
@@Anima-bribe I guess everyone likes different things :)
Making quests was super fun. It was some of my first baby steps into game design.
Space merchant simulator is my favourite too
Babe, new ambiguousamphibian challenge just dropped
Bad! No! Down! Bad boy! No!
I'll buy 10 of those plushies and 10 jars. Don't ask why
"The designers of Spore perhaps never imagined..."
Say no more, those guys didn't stand a chance at *making Spore*, much less anticipating "emergent gameplay."
The asterisks go on the outside of the punctuation marks, for the record.
@@CoralCopperHead I know, I know...I just don't like it. It's stylistically incorrect but I prefer to separate the information differently. After all, I am not adding emphasis to the comma, only to the phrase "making Spore".
And yes, doing that with the quotes was also an example of this preference. It looks wrong but feels right.
“I spent 4 hours guarding lettuce”
The true sequel we didn't deserve but desperately needed.
After watching the first video 15+ times, the joy that this sequel has given me is unmeasurable, I thought that I had after hearing the word 'worm' for the 10th time, was would it be possible to make some of C.M. Kosemans 'All Tomorrows' creatures in spore? Maybe not the gravitols or the colonials, but the mantalopes or insectophigis would be easier given the parts spore gives you.
While it isn't exactly the same, you can basically be the Qu from All Tomorrows in spore. With a combination of various weapons, the high likelihood of finding space stage species as creature stage species on other worlds, and use of the creature tweaker, you can eradicate a civilization, wipe out all life on the planet and then replace it with twisted versions of the original species.
Heck, if you want you can even raise your favorite of the bunch into a new civilization, and then they'll basically view you as their gods! (Well, a +50 relationship bonus, but that's basically the same thing)
didnt someone make a video where they did this?
@hyssoap maybe someone did, and tbh I might have seen it lol, but I don't remember for sure.
FINALLY! Someone who LIKES the tribal stage! It's my absolute favorite. It's satisfyingly systematic, selecting your creatures is so intuitive, the whole thing is just great. And it takes me like half an hour. The only stage that's shorter for me is the cell stage. Creature stage, on the other hand, is kind of a grind to me.
I have nothing insightful to add, save for merely an aggressive agreement to everything you just said.
I'm amazed that the carnivore run was even harder than the herbivore, but kudos to you for putting in so much time playing, that sounds maddening
The worm is only a step removed from a plant. Makes sense actual animals were a challenge.
Narotiza's videos about pitiful worms in Spore were what made me want to get the game.
The fact that everything was constantly breaking horribly made it even better
I imagine an actual species like this would definitely be communal and be ambush predators as well as scavengers, maybe evolving intelligence to better prepare a home out of which they can attack?
Like building actual traps and such rather than waiting for prey then dog piling them
I love how your plushy self looks like he's wearing a far too small sweater and is moments away from passing out from a lack of oxygen.
im just imagining a real life carnivorous sea worm that calls mates over to trick them into getting killed so they can cannibalize the remains i would go insane if david attenborough told me about that thing in blue planet
i wonder when will you make "can you beat spore as ambiguousamphibian" and create a horryfingly inaccurate version of your plushie and destroy everything that breathes whit it
Watching this right after the "pacifist carnivore" challenge video has my mind whirling with possible antics
I'd love for someone to take a shot at making a game like this, like a really really good serious shot
That noise at 7:53 is the noise my hospital uses to announce that a baby has been born. Gave me a heart attack, though I was hallucinating things.
From the most Muscular Vegan to the Wimpiest Carnivore. Now we just need the Genocidal Omnivore that is just a grey cube or blob consuming all in its path, plant or animal.
But, did you consider the feelings of the worm?
Fun fact: You CAN back up a save of spore. In appdata there is a folder where Spore keeps a file that saves all detail about that spore galaxy. You can copy this file and you will have now a backup of that entire galaxy. This is useful if you wanted to mess around with mods, because different mods tend to not work well together and it tends to break things to switch mods.
In tribal stage, more tribes only spawn in if you stockpile too much food. Otherwise they come in one at a time when you deal with previous tribes
Hey this is pretty good
What? This video was released 2 mins ago
I tried a very similar version of this challenge except with the minimum size body as well. I kinda think that actually helped with the pathfinding.
The thing that always freaks me out about Ambiguous Spore play throughs is when he gets to the creature stage and resorts to stealing eggs because I always imagine a real creature that evolved in a way that best suited it to lying in wait to steal creatures young. Like imagine we lived in a world where a real threat that people had to look out for were giant worms that lied in wait at playgrounds to jump out and drag away children
If memory serves there is a species of bird that lays it's egg in another species nest, when the chick hatches the bird that owns the nest will feed the imposter chick like it's own, the truly fucked part is while the mama bird is hunting for food for her chicks it will kick the original babies out of the nest to their deaths so as not to have any competition. I don't know why I'm telling you this I just felt like you needed to know.
@@BigJuice69 Yup, the cuckoo does that.
I’ve been on amphibian binge since I found ur channel and have watched almost half of your videos in one day. This video is a omen to continue
I love that you call your Patrons “a band of spear-wielding worm people” haha
Just finished a video of yours and this had it in the end card, talk about timing!
Worms with lungs sound terrifying. I picture the earth beneath us just heaving as they collectively inhale.
"is that an earthquake?!"
"no, just the worms breathing"
Spore was my childhood it makes me so happy that there are still people that appreciate this golden game.
The Sporm aggressively wiggles it's way to the top.
Oh my God I never bought something so fast in my life. I love the ambiguous friend, he will be treasured
This feels like the story of a physically frail but highly intelligent worm species with time powers weaseling their way to the top.
this truly is the best evolution simulator, lots of failures and trial and error, just getting lucky every so often and barely managing to survive. working together to lure larger creatures to your nest to then attack them is awesome that's definitely something that happens in the wild
pitiful worms using nukes to win sounds awfully familiar
Thanks for making my year so great :) happy holidays to you!
Love how you credit people I always love getting to see other creators!
"Sending them presents and gift baskets with desperate urgency" with the imagery of the little worms crawling oh god ahaHaha that got me
I was just watching another spore video of yours, nice timing!
Literally started playing this game again a few days ago!
There is a special place in heaven for youtubers who don't put ads or waste half of the video talking about sponsors , they are the real MVPs
I love spore and your commentary is hysterical oml
I love your personality and the way you speak, it makes these videos so much more interesting to watch!
The deranged vibe of the video juxtaposed against your soothing tone is just top notch. 10/10.
it is frustrating that this vid didn't appear in my feed when it came out, such a good one
Only recently have I discovered this channel and it feels like I saw the entire channel in just about three days. You've got a new sub.
look at this long boi at 7:41
also you can back up saves in spore, but you need to do it manually by copying the save file, idr where it was
Love the spore vids man. Keep up the great content!
“it was a slaughter… this is to say… *we were slaughtered…” 🤣🤣🤣
you absolute madlad what a challenge
You can actually win the creature stage without evolving and also peacefully. Just push one member of a higher level tribe away and befriend him with 3 level 1 singers and you have a better singer or dancer, and you can keep having better and better friends!
You can use the shout thing to make aggressive tribes orange and then you can socialize with then aswell!
That merch promo was so funny in exactly the way your humour is, which is a redundant statement, but I don't know how else to say it.
I was just binging the old spore videos before I noticed this in my feed. Loved it!
This worm is like a sith lord, it manipulates and tricks far stronger threats until it can gain enough resources to backstab them later.
Literally I was just playing spore! And all the sudden there is more spore content!
Happy new year, new weird channel that was suggested to me!
I like the comparison between your calm advertisment for your plushie, and Martincitopants' chaotic and insane one...
Merry Christmas AA peeps.
I have never been tempted to boy a stuff thing before but that dead pan looked frog is so cute
Aaahh time to enjoy a new video from one of my two favorite frogtubers
love how i find this while i'm making myself suffer as a carnivore in creature stage that tries not to kill unless they're already on reds in my current save.
also glad ito find some one who loves the tribal stage while hating the space stage like i do lmfaoooo
thank you so much for keeping spore alive this game had my imagination in its grib for months back when i was 14
Ahh the majestic Biting Sausage in all it's glory. Watch as it bounces slowly forward on the ground.
another amazing video as always,
thank ambigous
Nah man, I too love the tribal stage!
It was always the one I looked forward too the most!
WEEWT!!! your back at it in time for the spore rush dawg!!!
Holy grind, you definitely need a break after that. Merry Christmas, man! 🥳 Looking forward to your DF series and streams.
This Worms prequel is pretty gnarly.
Love the Spore videos!
This man's subscribers are so dedicated. I love it.
To help you out a little you could always save and quit before each evolution stage and copy the save file to your own manual backup file.
It’s a good way to avoid corrupted saves
Ahhh Spore. That video game that teaches exactly how evolution does NOT work.
damn dude, i remember when you had like 10k subs and was watching your legendary zomboid content, great content and i am happy you have made it brother, cheers
10 hours to make 10 minutes.. I love this game and I appreciate the ish out of you. This sounds traumatizing.. Im gonna try it now.
Man of resilience.
Love your spore videos
So much effort, liked
Good to see you play Spore again AA!!
That was somehow the most frantic ad read I've ever seen on CZcams and it was deeply effective... my mom WOULD love some ambiguousamphibian merch......
I mean, the Trinity test bomb was nicknamed "the Gadget," so it's a slightly more clever way of getting around the ESRB's dumb asses than some may think.
meanwhile ICBM
After 10 retries it’s still perfect!, love it!
Merry Christmas mr amphibian
I love how you love the Sims so much that you use its background music for other games 🤣
I love when people talk about the actual problems they have when they record it actually makes me feel like the video is genuine because I know I get a lot of BS when I try to record anything the game usually breaks the recording usually crashes sometimes both I say the worst bit is one the game crashes and you lose everything then your PC starts acting funny for some reason or something with like a game being deleted or maybe even my most favorite thing the site that you bought the game from starts to die as in disappear so now you can no longer really get games from that site like Big fish games EA nearly killed that she can pretty much say goodbye to playing a lot of games like a lot of games you can play feeding frenzy 2 off of steam but you cannot get the first one which is quite annoying if you wanted to actually play the story even though the store is technically the same or just a new one I still got to say it's kind of annoying when you can't actually play it just like a bunch of the games I played them when I was little about eight or nine and back then the only thing you had was Big fish games especially when it the only one could buy it or was buying them was my babysitter which was my dad's friends mom she was basically like a grandmother to me I was spoiled I got it kind of upset that she passed from cancer like most my relatives that have gotten to that age it's usually cancer or something dangerous but back to the point EA killed pretty much everything that I hold dear for my childhood all my games everything I have to go to other sites like I think it's like funky games or something like that fun something games or something like that fungames.com I think it is and I'm allowed to play tumblebugs and a bunch of other games that I used to play that or look them up online and try to buy it the disc version it may be very out of date but I don't care because I still can play my old old game my PC might not like it because it's so old but I can still play it kind of hard to play old Disney games like Aladdin and that when the game just doesn't want to function or play A bug's Life click adventure that game kind of has some glitch issues with the modern technology just need these old games to come back or just be available like just having them in the store somewhere where I can buy them would be just amazing because some of these kid games or just games in general are not as fun or just maybe you just don't have the time to sit there and play a 6-hour game that doesn't really pause or save very often and you have to find a place to save sometimes you don't have that luxury so you want to sit there for like I don't know 5-10 minutes and then switch to something else because you don't have time to do it that's what those games were now that they're no longer available I know renting and rambling but it's just whatever growing up with and then everything dramatically changing over time to something that is not as good if good at all
the Sims 1 music hit me in the nostalgia like a dump truck, thank you
Love how you use my favorite sims music. Bustin out for GBA (God that haunted mansion track slaps), Urbz, and sims 1
