If we got them, yes, we could

I think you would be better off just making it for PC though.

yeah, I hope this works out, we fans need less of the skylanders and to get back to our favorite dragons.

Don't use we,I want my 'landers just as much as I want dragons.
But if the coding is starting to be done,then it has a chance. I'd help with doodles of a Cynder with better proportions than the one in DOTD to be later used in 3D models(if it's a 3D game),but I don't have the time to do anything for free :I

yeah, you're right. im just tired of all of how the skylanders are progressing, and with that, Spyro and Cynder are slowing becoming a mere memory in this generation. and that's something I don't want to become of the two.

goddamit i hate it when people replace sparx with cynder

use 'sparx'

It sounds really cool, I'd love to see a Cynder game.

Cynder pretty much replaced Sparx halfway through DOTD that was the last Spyro game soooo....

I personally think Sparx is a bit of a silly character, rather annoying the way he acts and he's scientifically incorrect ( I'm a nerd ) it's great to have a strong feamle character like cynder. Girl power!

Oh man,spare me from "strong female character".Damsel in Distress and Love Interest with gameplay thrown in is more fitting.A strong character has enormous character development,good character interactions and is believable. Cynder started to show a bit of the traits in TEN,but DOTD destroyed that and made her the standard rebellious character whose character interaction doesn't go past arguing,complaining or insisting that she isn't evil anymore.
(That doesn't mean she has to stay that way - It's much easier to have a truly strong character(and female) if she's the protagonist since there isn't anyone more imporant,so the fangame has an advantage from the get go)

yeah ok Sparx too, but what I mean is that Cynder needs more game time, and well there isn't much Sparx can do. that's why I support the creation of this game, for Cynder. sorry Sparx, unless you can find a way to be useful, you're not going to be too noticed.

Hey guys, a quick update: in the game there will be 3 gems type, red (for health), green (for magic) and dark (for the fury). All the models of' em are done and also the Crystal models (with an astonish shader on it ). Also, we've done the CrystalHealth script. We're currently working on some environments parts, and the basic animations are almost finished (some days remaining). Once we've the animations and we set 'em up right, we'll do the PREdemo video!

Oh, yeah, you'll be able to destroy the crystals only with some secondary Attacks and the melee, but not with the breaths (maybe with the fury once yes, we'll see)

What will the fury be like? ANB style or TEN style?

we're programming it to be similar to the DotD style, but maybe it'll start with an explosion that kills the smaller enemies ( like ANB )

Any chance you could show us some pictures?

That is so awesome! Er... aren't you doing this on DeviantART too? I think I'm part of a group that has something to do with a Cynder game to the description of yours.

No Blackhawk, i have seen that page when the project had already started, i asked for a possible mix of em but they never replied and then i thought we would just have a lot of organization and different ideas problems..

Guys the basic animations are finally done! Just give me a couple of days to implement the scripts with them and fix some errors and we'll make the video! The PREDemo playable file won't probably be published, i'm sorry for that, but i'll keep you updated! Oh, yes, remember: we're an indie team, and all we work for FREE, so the development time may be longer than expected, but we'll try not to disappoint you

Congratulations. Looking forward to the video.

I've created the Cynder's Project Website! Here you'll be constantly updated! Link: http://cynderproject.webs.com/

All the animations now are set and synchronized with all the scripts, but we have to make the movements more fluid (it continues to have problems with some animations, working on it). Stay tuned!

It looks really nice so far.
Good work! Give my compliments to the team!

Guys sorry if for some days i haven't written anything, but i was improving some things! And sorry if i haven't published the PREDemo video yet, but i promise: tomorrow or friday at least i'll make it. I just had some very nice ideas and i wanted to add 'em all to the game! I'll write here when i've published the video!

The PREDemo is finally out! We decided not to make a video (also because of some problems, don't ask) so we published it! Just go to our website in the Blog section, read all and download it! Obviously, it's free.

Link to our website: cynderproject.webs.com

Let me know what you think! Maybe it's not so much? It's a PREDemo! I cannot let you see ALL...

Still no comments? Guys my site had 100 views theese 2 days, i cannot believe noone of you tested it! Please, let me know what you think!

I will get to it eventually, but not right now, sorry.

My computer absolutely hates 3D games so without system requirements specified I'm waiting for other people or a friend to try it out first, sorry but I'll wait a little to give it a go D:

Let me guess, the computer's a Vista from 2008?

No,why would I have a Vista? ._. Windows 7,but the problem I lack a good video card for it - here in Brazil people think no one is going to run Steam games without building their own computer.Can barely run Rogue Legacy,which is pretty much a sprite game with some shaders,let alone a 3D game with some textures already.

I'm hoping to try it soon, I just don't have a lot of time on my hands.
Sorry!

Yeah, hey guys don't expect soo much, some aspects of the PREDemo are pretty buggy, some of them are fixed now but not in the PREDemo published version (sorry for that). I made that only to let you know this project exists and to let you see some attacks, movements etc! Waiting suggestions!

I've created a deviantArt account! If you're interested, here i'll put some images of the game there are...arty, some ways xD check them out here!
http://spiritofevil.deviantart.com/

Also, next days we'll re-try making the famous video, that will include also some new things, mecanims and features that there aren't in the PREDemo!

It looks beautiful. (I just would have preferred ANB/TEN look, as I don't really like the DotD ones, but hey...) In any case, it seems to be coming out pretty decently so far. Good job.

Thanks! I'm sorry for all the others who won't play the PREDemo (we deleted the link yesterday) but we'll make another version soon. The published PREDemo had a lot of bugs that we've fixed now and also we've added a lot of new things, so we decided to delete it from the site...sorry for that, but that was way TOO buggy for me, specially on the animations...i'll keep you updated anyway!

Hey guys finally i've published the first Video of the game! It's a project explaination with some game shots! Go to our website, in the Blog/Video section to see it! ( http://cynderproject.webs.com/apps/blog ) or you can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7eOPfyx670
Leave a like or, even better, subscribe if you're interested! Thanks!

Looks pretty great, the movements are a bit slow but it's kind of expected for a pre-pre-Alpha xD Really looking foward to how it's going to be when most gameplay elements are implemented.
As I said before, no free time to actually help with the project(or 3D knowledge to play with textures),but once you guys have some writing going, I could spare a few hours to give it a look since I'm too obsessed with plot elements for my own good :U But everything has its time, as with any game done by a small team it's always better if you focus on gameplay first.

Looks fantastic. Perhaps this will be a better TLoS than well...TLoS trilogy

Keep up the great work!

Oh wow, it's so good to see you guys actually DID something towards making a game. And it looks pretty good I must say! Hopefully there won't be much of a copyright issues later on. Good luck! I'll be surely following your progress.

Thank you guys, you don't really know how your feedbacks are important for us! Also, the project site is going to have 1000 views and, i must admit, i never thought i'd have so much views in this *short* time. Thanks! We'll do our best to keep this up, making it better!
Oh, please, keep writing what you think! On the video, on the project etc, we need it!

Oh yeah, and just a tip if you guys don't have a musician; you can always use free domain or creative commons songs for the game as placeholders for the time being; Incompetech (http://music.incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/) is a nice place to start, though I heard that there are some places in SoundCloud and the like where you can look for songs to use on non-profit projects :3

Thank Bifrost, but we already have a composer.. And he's doing great!

Hmmm... Well, I just had a skim through the video, and it's nice to see that some things started, although I just have one major thing I noticed! The camera... Just looks off! Mainly when Cynder is platforming. I'm not sure what it is, but it seems like it could be improved... Maybe try moving it backwards and down a bit? Ahh, it's hard to explain exactly what I think about that... But anyway, depending on how the levels are designed, it might might not be that big(it actually looks like that camera might work decent if Cynder is facing an enemy one-on-one), but I think it could be improved. I mean, if this is a LoS fangame- and a fairly big part of LoS is the platforming- so I imagine there's gonna be some platforming in this game, right? Anyway, I don't really trust my judgement on that, so... Just leaving what I thought about it here. Well anyway, I trust you'll improve on that seeing as this is just the start of it.

This though, I only skimmed the video so far, so until I rewatch it there's not much else I can say. I didn't get to test predemo before it was taken off either.

just saw the video, looks very good so far, cant wait to be able to get the demo.

Yeah guys i know the camera problems, i've fixed 'em this week, i've wrote it in the site forum, now it looks like the original camera! We also started making some AIs, improving them this week. Thank you all for your interest!

Well to be off-topic, Hasbro has put out a desist and cease at a company for a fan game call My little Pony: Fighting is Magic. It's on the Game Informer website.

I know about Fighting is Magic enough(they have the Skullgirls engine for the revival of the game with new characters,and I do play that game),but it was more that Hasbro didn't think they'd make it and become so popular so close to the mobile game being released. I recall that there are laws that,if you don't fight against a copyright infringement that's too popular,no one is obliged to actually ask permission or something(You're better off asking a 'murican about this,Brazilian laws have none of that so I don't understand it that much),and with FiM going to EVO and other events,it could as well make a profit as much as Mane6 - the developers - refused to obtain even via donations.It's a really complicated thing,but aside from that,there's been plenty of MLP fangames that have been completed or are well into beta but take care not to use copyrighted names or locations.

I don't see why the game still wouldn't be made. There's plenty of fangames that have been made. That's all part of 'Fair Use' if I remember correctly, just as long as you do not plan on selling the game.

EDIT: I know it's an old reply, but eh.

It really depends on the company that owns the franchise, as well as a number of other factors. Since this game is using the original model from the game, as well as what seems to be the same movements (or strikingly similar ones), it's at a higher 'risk' of getting a cease and desist from what I can tell.

But overall, it would depend on Activision. Right now, they seem to be so focused on Skylanders it seems unlikely they'd remove this game. Besides - There's already another Cynder game starring adult Cynder that's been in production for some time now, and that seems to be going along fine.

Yeah it's true, there's another Cynder's game in developing, but it's a totally different story, the movements we're using are similar to the DoTD once, but are different (you'll see when the next video is done, we're waiting for a lot on new animations) and yeah, for now the model is the one you can find on P23etc (sorry can't remember the site name ), using it because for now we don't have a proper modeller willing to re-do it...when we'd got him, we'll re-do it...since that...and, i don't know, but i've got the feeling the *other* Cynder's game is a little bit dead, but it's just an impression, maybe i'm wrong

EDIT: I think i'm wrong, just saw and update in their DA page, probably i'm wrong

Fair Use doesn't even get close to covering that. Refer to the JanAnimations fiasco (NSFW warning due to language) : http://joshscorcher.tumblr.com...ling-out-a-bull
And not only that,even if Fair Use covered games,that isn't copyright. I can't make a game with a trademarked character without permission,and that's why fangames get shot down. Some companies are more okay with it(Acti seems okay? Despite all fanfics,fanart,fangames even if most are dead-ish,never seen a trace of C&D around the fandom),while others will always shoot down any attempt that is remotely popular(even when the creators themselves don't mind - back to the JanAnimations thing,Hasbro Legal C&Ded the animators without the consent of DHX or anyone that actually does the main show).
For fangames,it's a matter of knowing how much you can get from the source material and hoping you can finish it. If Spyro is trademarked but Cynder is not,using Cynder is smarter. If the Fury power is trademarked but not Convexity,using the name convexity even if it's still Fury is a better choice.Those two are examples,I have no idea what is and what isn't trademarked in the series.

Guys i have a GOOD news: today i've started working on a script to make Cynder's fourth element...WIND! We haven't decided yet what would the secondary attack be, but the first is a tornado cynder creates rotating on herself (am i gramatically right? xD) Watch our site for all the news!

Added some images in the first post! Guys sorry but you'll have to wait for the next week for the video animations problem

I joined the group for this and I hope we can make the Cynder game good very soon!!!!!!!
And I'm glad that there is one, Cynder needs some attention!

Hey i don't think this is bad...everyone can be fan of what he want, and there are no rules for what's the maximum attention for something... Only because you're not a Cynder fan this doesnt give you the power to judge the others....if so, for me the Skylanders series fans would be all dead (i'm not judging anyone ah, it's only that i'm a little bit offended by the use they made of spyro...dont get me wrong, it's only for this)...

I think that would be better to anyone to stop talking of characters fan wars, this just doesnt make sense...and it's a little bit off-topic

There's always a point where fangirl/fanboy-ish gets too much out of hand,Evilness. You probably don't see much of it, but back when DOTD came out it wasn't uncommon for people who shipped anything that wasn't Spyrp x Cynder got harassed everywhere,from DeviantART to here; no wonder older fans are kind of resentful of cynder's fans.

It's not that offtopic since you're here to show your appreciation for Cynder,isn't it? Though it's a totally different kind of fan thing, since you're really nice and cool-headed about it and the fandom needs more of that... Just about everywhere. But it's better to just talk about the game and avoid the flame war.

seems legit
