Hemlock Pokeparts Project (HPP) – Project Closure (2026)
This post is to formally announce the closure of the Hemlock Pokeparts Project (HPP), an experimental project focused on creating Poké-inspired parts for Spore.
The mod was never officially released to the public. However, it can be found circulating within Discord communities focused on Spore modding, usually in simpler and incomplete versions. During development, there were conflicts with other mods, and Spore also received updates that were never tested with HPP, which may result in instability or issues with the game. For these reasons, I do not recommend installing the mod, even if older files happen to be shared elsewhere.
An important factor behind this decision is the development process itself. Each part required 3D modeling, animation, and texture mapping, representing a substantial investment of time and effort. Maintaining this level of work is no longer compatible with my current routine.
HPP was active during the years of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly during lockdown periods, when I had more available time for experimentation and creative development. That context has since changed. As this was a free, non-commercial project, continuing it alongside professional and personal responsibilities became increasingly unsustainable.
As a bonus, I will be sharing additional images that were never posted before, including material related to part extraction for conversion, internal tests, and other development stages of the project. Thank you very much to everyone who followed and supported HPP over the years.
This Tumblr will remain online as an archive of the development process, but the project will not continue. I sincerely thank everyone who followed the project, showed interest, or offered support along the way
