oh wow i'm really loving these screenshots.

how'd you get spyro up there?

like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVT3ShPAazc but higher

oooooooooooo that's really neat! looks like it takes good timing.

i was guessing that maybe you'd put some code into the game

it's pretty precise timing, yeah. not too bad once you get the hang of it though.
I'm sure you could do it with a code but that's not as fun. :P

here's a whole album: https://imgur.com/a/1xo4QYX
I've spent tons of time messing around and getting Spyro wherever I can, which ends up being pretty much everywhere there's solid ground.

ohhh sick! these are awesome shots!


he looks like he knows he's not supposed to be able to get there


and the town square mountains! i only recently learned that you can go over and walk on them!

I have even more

also sometimes I do it with characters that are not Spyro. :P

this was a fun topic. pretend this isn't a double post.

also here's a lizard so this isn't just a text post.

ehehehe

uhh, have some random TLoS art!

nice new pfp by the way!

thanks! It's the same pic as before but a more zoomed out version. the other one I cropped to just show Cobalt's face. :P

i wish we could have gotten aquifiers and machinists in later spyro games... definitely a cool concept that's ripe for using

I thought I knew a lot about Spyro but I don't know what either of those things are. what are they?

they're from one of the spyro 1 press kits! i believe there are official looking pdfs out there, but this is the most easily accessible one i can find right now: https://www.deviantart.com/kra...tures-504303714

it's from krazykari, so i'm inclined to trust her on this. i thiiiink hwd or someone else also has a copy, but i'm not sure

huh, that's really interesting actually. sounds like a lot of stuff didn't make it in the final game. though Twilight Harbor does seem kinda Machinists-y. Aquifers being a thing means that maybe they wanted to have swimming in spyro 1 which would have been neat to see. The water levels in the other games were well done.

obligatory pic of Spyro in a place he shouldn't be:

i am once again thinking about this man

yesterday I learned that this animal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_jackal exists and I already love them a lot.

aww it's cute

and the smallest wolf species! cool

I've only known about golden jackals for three minutes but if anything happens to them I will kill everyone on this thread and then myself.

Also, on the topic of unused Spyro content, I'm surprised I haven't seen many people here talking about the prototypes of the first three games that got leaked a while back.

there's been some discussion in the spyro 3 forum recently. usually people post about it in the og spyro sections

have you played them and found anything interesting?

Well, since Machinists was mentioned earlier, I could mention that Gnasty’s World was called Machinists in the June prototype of the first game.

In the April prototype for YotD, Bamboo Terrace has a tiger enemy that was later replaced with the water buffalo. From what I could research, it was first seen in this image


It seems pretty much finished in the prototype, with animations, sound effects and everything, so I’m not sure why it got cut.

Also, check out this alternate theme for Lost Fleet:

I like that tiger enemy better tbh.

also that lost fleet music is 100x better than what we got in the final game. It would fit right in with the Sonic CD US soundtrack which I happen to love.

I've pretty thoroughly played around with all the Spyro prototypes. except I never could figure out how to hack into the extra levels in one of the Spyro 3 ones.

oh! i forgot about the tiger enemy! it looks cool, but i can see why they might have cut it because it could be frightening to young kids

hacking the spyro 3 levels is pretty hard. i did it at some point, but i'm not sure i can remember how. you've got to be running the game on your computer and latch cheat engine to it. from there, you basically have to figure out which hex codes (?) are in charge of levels. i think you can do this by switching levels. basically, you want to find the value that determines what level is loaded. from there, you can input what level you want to load. the cutting room floor should list which levels are available based on what prototype you're running (i recommend looking at the page for the april 25th build. https://tcrf.net/Proto:Spyro:_Year_of_the_Dragon)

a lot of it is guess and check, which makes it really difficult T__T

so much of it is up to chance, really

yeah, that's about as far as I got when I tried it. I had the cheat engine going but I couldn't figure out what to change to make it do what I wanted.

this is from the prototype because I'm like 70% sure this spot isn't solid ground in the final game.

ohhh wow that's cool! it's a shame they took down solid ground.

i vaguely remember crystalfissure saying something about there being a lof of extra (?) invisible walls in spyro 2. something about how that influences speedruns

a speedrun of the prototype would be very different from a speedrun of the final game, yeah.
the pic I posted is one example of that. normally you'd just fall right though that area on purpose to drop right in front of the guy who gives you the talisman.

There's a ton more stuff like that but I'm too lazy to write it out unless anyone actually wants me to. I really love speedrunning the Spyro games but I haven't done much of it in the past couple years. Also I was never too good at it.

crash!!!

yeah, i don't blame you. speedrunning takes a lot of work T__T

yeah, it takes a lot of motivation and dedication that I've realized I don't have. DX

I'll try to be more active because I feel like it's partially my fault that forum games is dead.

at this point, i think the whole forum is kind of like a game

life is just one big game tbh.
