darkSpyro

hi guys, i just wanted to share this. when i get older, my dream is to buy the spyro franchise and make new games that are actually good, like the original trilogy. i want the children of the new generation to be raised by games that actually show what spyro was like before they made games like hero's tail and enter the dragonfly. i want them to have the same great childhood as we once did.

i figured i might as well start early and think up a few concepts. i have already thought out the main "baddies" (a legion of dim-witted robots known as the "Puppetrons"), and a basic level concept. its called Pumpkin Hollow. its a halloween themed level with black cats in devil costumes as good guys, and frankensteins, witches and knife-throwing jack-in-a-boxes (instead of boxes they reside in pumpkins). the puppetrons have stolen all the candy from the cats (who are trick-or-treating) and put it all in a huge bag at the top of a hill. the cats are too scared to get it themselves so spyro must get it for them.at the end spyro must flame the candy bag which sends a wave of candy rolling down the hill. the cats are enjoying the candy, when one says "you can have this peice, it doesnt look very tasty". he gives you a battery (the main collectable - like orbs and dragon eggs) and opens the portal.

spyro will still collect gems, as usual.

i would appreciate if people could also help with level design, dialogue, enemy/boss design and homeworld design. who knows, if my dream comes true i might put a word in for you?

come on, it'll be fun

i'll help.
Wat about a level called Atlantia where their presious tresure chest was stolen by the puppetrons, is that right?, anyway, they hid the treasure in a tomb full of puzzles that none of the merpeople can figure out. So spyro enters the tomb.
puzzle one is lighting up all the lights so its the same color, like in gtg,
puzzle two is fire line where there's a room full of torches and you must repeat the lighting torches by flaming them.
final puzzle there is a robomaid, robot mermaid, working for the puppetrons, the only way to get past is by answering her riddle correctly. Once you reach the treasure chest, you must move it onto a giant catapualt, flinging it back to Atlantia. The Atlantian queen will thank you and say “thank you for your help spyro. by the way, i found this long thin round thing, i think might belong to a puppetron who dropped it, it might help you.” and thats the end of the level

I was thinking, the boss you face at the end of the game could be called 'the puppet master' and a name for one of the homeworlds could be spirit meadow. What do you think?

it could be worth a shot, but you have a point shorty

shorty, i havent actually played TLOS, and hey, im pretty sure it wont come true. but its just something i thought would be pretty cool. if you have nothing nice to say then just dont say it at all.

on the bright side, daimondcynder21, your level and homeworld sound awesome. i've now drawn up 3 bosses, im trying to think up another, your concept of puppetmaster sounds good. but anyway, here are the bosses:

gribbit and rover - a frog mechanic and a robotic dog with rocket booster, which is attached to gribbit by a torch. gribbit throws a wrench at spyro, which circles in on him in a similar fashion to buzz (first boss on YOTD). rover will also chase this wrench, like two buzzes. spyro has to run away from these things in a circular fashion around gribbit, who will in turn become tied up by rovers leash. when he is tied up, spyro must flame them 3 times, each time they are flamed they will run around madly and spyro must chase them.

raffi - a giraffe wizard. raffi stands up on a high podium, shooting at spyro with a large array of spells that progessivly become stronger and stronger. raffi's podium is a tree which he made rise from the ground with his magic. his arena is a long runway, spyro is at one end, he is at another. first he will shoot fireballs at spyro that do not home in and are easy to dodge. spyro must go up the runway while avoiding the spells and charge at the tree, which will sink into the ground a tiny bit. then raffi will make a hurricane carry spyro back to the start of the runway, and it starts again, each time he uses a different spell. fireballs, homing water bubbles, thunderbolts from above, vines (like from a heros tail) and wind waves (if spyro doesnt avoid them he will be carried back to the start). after getting past the vines raffi's tree will be gone, and after the wind waves spyro can charge at raffi and he will be blasted off the runway and into the abyss below.

flora and fauna - elf twins. flora is a female elf with 2 swords while fauna is a male elf with an enchanted scythe. i havent thought of how they will be battled yet. im thinking they could have seperate health bars like the orange and purple dragons and YOTD.

oh and shorty, if they dont sell it i'll just make up my own franchise. its my dream to run a videogames company.

You probably don't want to come to this site,if you believe in that saying. You'll become a target for trolls.
That and it may have been sort of negative but the entire world isn't sugar-coated,you do have to think about cost and stuff. Especially when making your own franchise. It's not like you'll just get everything for free. You also have to make a good amount of money or else you'll go bankrupt.

you make a point, but then its always nice to dream, in fact, ive come up with my own spyro game, and i know it won't become a actual game, but it gave me something to do in my free time.
we all live our own lives, and while i've been on this site, i've seen alot of negative messages sent to one another and not many agree on each others opinion, and we just have to see it from a different point.
this game would be awesome, but like many dreams, it dosen't always end like they say “and they all lived happily ever after”
just say'n

hey, i can dream. i know its not gonna be free, im not like an 8 year old or anything. its like those times where you lay in bed thinking of a random scenario thats never gonna happen, but would be awesome if it did. so either help me out, or gtfo. your ruining the mood.

Check out my thread posted in my sig, it will really get some game ideas flowing.

An all time Spyro fan will help. I've got an idea of a world. You know about Thieves Den from Enter the Dragonfly? I was thinking for a name for the level and decided to do Ryptocs Hideout. Here's the story for it: The good guys in this level are ryptocs who betrayed Ripto. The puppetrons had been placing all of the ryptocs in locked cages. Only one has escaped. He's the one to tell the bad news to Spyro and says this: Spyro! I know we've been enemies to you, but, we need your help. The Puppetrons have trapped the rest of us in cages! I heard that if you use your ice breath on a cage, the cage will open! May you please help us Spyro?
Spyro unlocks all of the cages then the last one you rescue gives you the battery.
Also, I think this takes place in the future. Spyro collects batteries for portals and, after he beats the Puppet Master, he uses the batteries to make the time machine goes back to modern times.

i don't really know how i could help, but... sure!

suggestion: mabey you could weve in some LoS? like add cynder? yes? no?

what ever...i like this LoS or not. :-)

If Cynder was added it would make the game better, morely because (including myself) get sick of playing as a male dragon all the time, no offence Spyro

A suggestion for character play;
You should have, Cynder, Hunter, Ember, Flame and Elora as playable characters

@daimondcynder21

Don't you think 5 is enough? There's six. I don't mind doing 5 but 6 is a little bit too many. No offense, but then it would be harder.

@shorty

Very good Idea, shorty.

well, take for example, skylanders. more than enough dudes. and some of them are not all that worth it. <:-)

@wingsofpurple

I was meaning besides Skylanders. I more then know I made a major mistake. I made a mistake that went to the top tens. I'm sorry I did that. Btw, I think there should be another boss that's a dragon in the fan made game.

Unlockable, of course
Really, you'd only be able to unlock them once each world they are trapped in is clocked 100%
Some maybe for minigames only

@daimondcynder21

Absolutely agree with you.

at least someone dose
