Speaking to Reuters about Spore, its designer Will Wright revealed he believes in "other intelligences." More than that, he said Spore was inspired by the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) program.

Atlanta-born Wright, a bespectacled, mop-haired alien obsessive who builds robots for research purposes, said Spore was inspired by the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) program.

"I believe there are other intelligences out there, and the closest is several galaxies away," said Wright, 48, who grew up building model cars and dreaming of space travel.
