Am I the only one who noticed? "Tinge of Spore?"

It seems to me, or are some elements of the game's design very reminiscent of Spore? I realize how different these projects are, but at times the atmosphere of the new game caused me an unexpected deja vu. For example, some graphic elements (such as the loading screen when teleporting), or some sounds, are very reminiscent of elements from the 2008 Maxis game. Has anyone noticed anything like this, or has anyone noticed it now?

(The most obvious example: two screens, the composition of which consists of a large bright spiral and many smaller moving elements)

yeah I thought of that too when i saw a video on the game, i think the person i watched of compared it to something else but I instantly thought of spore.

I remembered more specifically about sound effects: sometimes the sounds when receiving damage (like a squeak or squeal of a character) are one-to-one similar to the sound made by the cell receiving damage from the first stage in Spore (maybe I’ve developed suspiciousness, but they really sound mega-similar! )

I like the spore-like details tho! It reminds me that people still like spore and the community still feels the same love for the game as I do, and that they're just doing other stuff nowadays :)

in my opinion it's a strange comparison, but you know better

That loading screen is straight up a reference to Phantasy Star Online 1, which the gameplay of Atlyss is mostly based on. You can also move the sparkle effect just like in PSO.
