Can't blame you, considering Spring Savannah is a GO now.

Nope, haven't really had the time or motivation.

Hi, nice to see you back! The progress is slow, and most of us - me included - take really long breaks from the project, so don't worry. I don't think there's been much discussion or work revolving story or dialogue. I guess throwing around more in-depth ideas with focus on various levels' stories, characters/creatures(both friendly and enemies), dialogue, objectives and so on could be helpful. Very few of these things have been decided on on any level, so it's definitely something that needs work. Even if we don't end up using specific levels, these kinds of elements could be tweaked to work in whatever levels we actually do end up with, or can serve as inspiration in either case.

I believe this is the final death sprite:

Next thing for me will be to dive back into the code and... do things.

Anyway, I've been thinking about an idea for enemy/character sprites, and how to make them with the same style as the Spyro sprites I've made so far. What I'm thinking about is making animated low poly 3d models like in the PS1 games and then render them to a sprite sheet, but with a custom shader to get a similar effect to how Pokémon are rendered during battle in the 3DS Pokémon games, with darker outlines and cel shading. It may sound complicated and like a lot of work, but the same can be said of animating relatively big pixel sprites by hand, at least for me.
This is the test model I've made so far(a fire wizard), though I haven't yet gotten around to making the actual renderer.

Hi everyone. First, I'm sincerely sorry I haven't been active for awhile. Life kind of threw a curve ball at me. What is the progress on the game? What can I do to help? Has the story/dialogue been written yet?

Haha, I like it. Makes me think of Paper Mario

Exactly the same is the case for me. A few times, I might get the time and motivation to dive back into it during the school year, but that didn't happen this year. Now summer is ahead, though, so I'm ready to do some work again

Edit: Just a quick and easy sprite as a first thing to do - Flattened Spyro death:

I too would like to get more involved. I've been itching to work on more side projects like this

Oh, yeah, I didn't work on this for a while, I've seen that some chat appeared there though. I'm still hoping I'll get back to it, but I have enough programming at school and can't see it anymore >.<

--------------------------------------------------

EDIT: I got a message on deviant art from CraftyMaelyss, who suggested someone for voice acting

the message:

CraftyMaelyss said the following:
HI, you don't know me but I came across that Spyro fan game yourself and others are working on and I happen to know a brilliant voice actor who sounds very similar to the classic Spyro(he voiced Spyro in my creepypasta)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YllvkL4TCDI
If you're interested, I can ask him if he's up to voicing Spyro again
Also I myself can do voices, here are some examples here of what I can do:

also

Also I have an idea that might help you guys get more attention or support for your game.
I'm able to make custom mouse cursors and I was wondering if you would like me to use some of your game sprites to make mouse cursor or icon files for you guys to share?

What do you think?

Can somebody give me an URL to Attackfrog277's video. The YouTube tag won't work properly for me

Heads up for the developers! I've made a Spyroforum organization on GitHub and added the game as a repo to it. I've also made a Gitter chat for the repo to simplify and consolidate collaboration. This way when you guys need to talk about what you're working on you don't need to use the forum to do so and instead you can have that discussion be integrated with the repo. If anyone needs invites for either of these please PM me!

Also please use the Gitter for development talk relating to your work on the fan game only. We already have IRC, Skype, AND Discord for casual discussion.

I'd really like to get this project going again and join in on the development side of things a bit myself if there's any way I could.

They who uploaded the above video, Greg Keogh, identified some of the instruments that might've been used in Spyro, the koto of which he used for the remix.
He'd be a good person to talk to for more info.

Not super important but, does anybody working on the music have the koto instrument? It's the "plucking" sounding instrument used primarily in Spyro 1 and it's one of my favourite instruments used in the soundtrack.
Really brings additude to Spyro.

Edit: That skybox is spot on, thumbs up. You should do tuts after this is done.

i'm not doing the soundtrack but i have a koto sound on my keyboard, i don't have the actual instrument itself though. why do you ask?
