Spyro's Kingdom may not be a government or country he rules. It could reffer to his elemental powers (if it's LOS) and how he comes to be a better master over them. It could be that when he reassembled the world the planet started to be controlled by Spyro's mind/emotions, so he needs to learn how to controll the world better. If that's the case then the world itself or nature would be Spyro's metaphorical kingdom.

DarkCynder also had a good point about it.

As for the universe it's in and the stoary, if it's fun and doesn't give me rage due to stupidity of plot I'll be happy with it.

Given its called, "spyros kindom" it might end up being a conquest game. But who are they conquering?

If it's in TLoS Universe:
It could refer to the world being considered Spyro's Kingdom, since he's restored it and saved it.
It could refer to him ruling a Kingdom..

here's an idea.. Didn't bother to go through the pages to see if anyone else came up with a similar idea, but here it is:

It could refer to where Spyro was really from. Maybe he was born in this Kingdom which is currently unknown to him, and his parents brought his egg to be protected to the temple. Maybe he travels to this Kingdom and discovers his real parents, or where he would have lived if he wasn't a hero, and somehow danger strikes? Just a thought.

Maybe, that sounds ineresting. Good idea.

Thanks, glad you like it. I got the idea kinda from a picture on dA. But I think it'd be interesting, AND it'd introduce other dragons. Doubt it'd happen though

I like Darby's idea...it's less crazy than my ideas!

Also, quick question...if I make a Spyro game in LBP2, would you rather I base it off of an existing game, or make an unofficial sequel to DotD?

Haha, what might your ideas be??

And hmm.. I'm not sure! I know there's so many identical fan sequels to DotD, but I'm sure you could pull it off and make it unique and really cool! What games did you have in mind for basing it off of?

I was thinking on basing it off of DotD, but then I thought....

"What if FOUR people play the level together....or even just three?"

My ideas for Spyro games are scattered around the forum, really.....telling you would be like writing an essay!

Hmm. That's a good thought!
Screw the other players! I grew up waiting for turns
Haha nahh, just kidding.
Uhhh. Wow, I'm bad at this stuff!

I was gonna add Ember and Flame, but make their moves similar to Cynder and Spyro respectively. But that would complicate things if it were based off of DotD.

Sooo....I had ideas for a plotline that follows DotD, but isn't what you would expect from LoS....

Yeah, that would make it a little complicated. Ember and Flame would just have two elements.. Spyro and Cynder four..

Hey, do others actually get to play your game?

And I'd love to hear the plotline you got! I'm always careful about posting it online before I actually consider starting a fanfiction or anything though, just because I want it to stay original! I've made one, I might turn it into a fanart/fanfiction ongoing thing on dA..

Not even that....where would they fit in to the story, seeing as DotD begins with SPYRO and CYNDER in the crystal?

Yes, others can play it. If I upload it, anyone can play it, but I can also "lock" it so that only people with a key can play it. If I don't upload it, people can only play it if they are guests in my Pod and I show them the game....of course, I will upload it, and make a YouTube video of it!

Well, the plotline for my LBP2 game is going to have a bit of a similar feel to the actual LBP2 storyline, mixed with serious TLoS stuff. However, I had ideas for a more serious fanfiction type thing too.

Right now, I'm programming my Spyro Sackbot (started again). I have the Flying/Gliding Logic done.

Oi, that too! I guess that would be tough to work out. You could introduce them later into the game, but that sounds like it'd be a little too complicated.

that's really cool! LBP sounds like a pretty fun game! I'd never been too interested, but I might be gaining more interest. You and your persuasive ways... (SONIC?)

Sounds like it would be cool to see/play though! Do you think you'll take the time to finish it eventually?

I could introduce them later, but that would still leave the problem of two players being left out.

Well, I didn't necessarily persuade you...I posted a video while talking to NEW_SpyroLUVA, you watched it, then....the PMs started!

Considering I have spent over 6 months on individual LBP1 levels.....I think I will!

Yeah, I don't see any way how it'd work..

Haha, that's true! Well, I'll say your obsession rubbed off on me.. either way I blame you! I just wasn't too interested 'til you brought him up a few times :3

Well that's a good thing then, I think!

It would end up having a random excuse!

You're not the only one!

It is good. :3

So it could work.... but just make no sense

Pretty much...it would feel shoehorned!

Shoehorned?
You and your words!

By that, I mean it would feel forced in for the sake of making the gameplay work. Because of this, I will make my own story, so the gameplay and story work in tandem.

Oh, I think I get it..
Well, whatever it takes I guess!
Too bad real game makers can't do that when making a games... look at how the fans react to plotholes!

I don't feel there are actually a lot of plotholes in DotD...just a lot of unexplained things. And plotholes and unexplained points are two different things....but I know if I continue babbling, some DotD hater is gonna try something, sooo....

<----Rock on!

Yeah, i agree with you that they're two different things. Plotholes can't be explained, and unexplained things are just... well, unexplained! And I never know whether what i say will start an argument, that's why I'm always relatively careful of what I post...

I love that avi! Hmm, i think it's time for me to go avi hunting again!

Yeah, same here....I'm trying to stray away from talking about storylines and Cynder.....unfortunately, that's what most people want to talk about/bash!

Your new avi is brilliant!

Haha, it's during the scene after Twilight Falls, in case you couldn't tell! When he gets hit!

And yeah, usually if you bring up the storyline, especially Cynder, there's gonna be at least someone to disagree and or bash!

I knew what it was!

That's true. It's annoying when you attempt to discuss gameplay or something, then someone just wants to bash storylines or the characters.

Oh!

Yup, it's very annoying. It doesn't happen much anymore, luckily. But I know when SK comes out the arguments will start up again... There'll be something brand new to complain about and critisize!

Not aiming this at anyone, it just happens.

I'm not even talking about arguments, it's just....I've HARDLY EVER discussed the gameplay of ANY Spyro game here....people just keep talking about character designs and story! Nobody even talks about music! D:

I have never sen this happen... If you want to chat about music, feel fre to open a topic about it...

I have...and it de-railed into the craziest thing one time!

I've seen it happen.

I love talking about the music... because i just love Spyro music ^.^

Yes it's really sad. Because of that it's very difficult to discuss something nowadays.

I love Spyro music too, specially DotD music, it really fits the game.

Idea: that the DoTD Malefor was a fake, as were the propecies. It's a long and complicated idea I can't be bothered to explain.

Huh. Malefor, fake? So there's still a real one out there? o_o

Idea: that the DoTD Malefor was a fake, as were the propecies. It's a long and complicated idea I can't be bothered to explain.

Sounds interesting. Could you please build on it, at least bit by bit?

What happened was that the Scorcerror planted fake prophecies somewhere and hid them, the ones of the purple dragon.

He captured all the purple dragons(including Classic Spyro) and set up a war. Eventually the fact there were purple dragons was forgotten and he was sent into exile.
So far: The Scorcerror is Fake Malefor, who appeared in DoTD, and was only used as a pawn. When Spyro put the world back together, the real Malefor, hiding somewhere, took some of the power he exerted, and that's why the world is still like the Floating Islands.

I'm still working on it and need to check for plotholes, but hopefully you get the idea. It was inspired by the 'shadow' Spyro artwork... :3

Hm, interesting.

But, why steal the dragons, why make the prophecies, why make the war? I'm sure these will be answered in time, yes? Are you going to make a fanfiction, fan animation, or just post the idea here?

I'm not really sure, I might make a fan fiction, I'll probably post the rest here, but I mos likely won't have time to animate it(unless it's in 2-D).

It could also work backwards if TLoS really is a prequel and The Scorcerror could be the real Malefor. It's just an outline, really.

thats the best idea for a fanfic I've heard! Definitely should start one up.

Now that sounds awesome!

That is a great idea, but remeber, each game has to start is a way that even non Spyro fans can get what's going on. The idea would only make sence to all who have played most of the games before. The new players would need lots of cutscenes to fill in all the holes, the game ends up boring them after the first couple minutes. Trust me, to many cutscenes and little play makes game a dull game. I like the idea a lot, I hope it turns out that good or better.

It seems obvious from DotD's ending that somehow Malefor will escape imprisonment- AGAIN- and be naughty to everyone...

Though I prefer GamingMaster's plot

I hope you can finish that idea soon GM! I'd like to hear it all.

Hmm...
At the end of DotD wasn't there something about a dragons soul not really leaving the world? Mabyhe comes back to posess a new character.

I had an elaboate idea (can't find it again) about Malefor's soul inhabiting the whole earth and turning everyone against Spyro and Cynder, then they have to go back to the earth's core to defeat Malefor's soul. I with I could find that again...

Malefor's ghost should come back to hunt Spyro and Cynder. Turning the world against them seems a little extreme.

Hmm, I was thinking more for the hardcore, but I will try my best to incorporate some explanation into it near the beginning.

That was Ignitus referring to himself. He came back as the new Chronicler. (Which actually becomes a major point of the plot- and not just in prophecies...) Perhaps Fake-Felor's soul will come back. I'll just see how this goes.

Your creation is your creation, we are just here to give tips and advice. Take it or leave it, it is all up to you.


For the game, does anyone think free flight will stay?

I know, I just forgot about explanation. It's one of the charms of Spyro, wether you've played the games or not you can understand the story. (Except parts of DoTD- and I don't view this as a bad thing because I played the others anyway.)
