Spyro Flights (Community Project)

Interesting... I've had similar idea about a month ago, but I don't have any time for it because of school... and I'm still "working" on the other game, but maybe in the future I could help.

I've also had a similar idea, one or two years ago. My idea back then was an online multiplayer Spyro flight racing game, but I never tried to make anything of it.
Currently I'm spending most of my free time(or the part of my free time when I'm motivated for work) on my own, very Spyro inspired game.

Still, this is a game idea and a project I'd like to see come to life, so might try to help with some things. Interesting and fairly advanced, but not so big as to be unmanageable.

I have some, but very limited experience with Unity 3D, but I have used GameMaker(which I make my game with) for about 6 years and have learned quite a bit about 3d game making, though on a different level than unity, because GM has a very limited 3d functionality.

Well, if nobody would like to code, i can do it.
But i would like to see ideas on types of speedways people would enjoy.
What kinds of Music the game should have, etc.

I was thinking that it should:
1. Have time limits
2. Be in 3D
3. Use music from Spyro 1-4
4. Have spliced in voices from Spyro 1-4

Another good idea i came up with, is a Crash Team Racing inspired thing. We could also have a racing mode where characters can race.
So an example: Elora and Spyro will race. If spyro wins: He will say something from the old series, like "You Got it!".
They should have voice acting, but spliced from the original games.

IT needs to be fully classic inspired. So no characters from Spyro a Heros tail trilogy (HT,Orange and SL), Legend of spyro trilogy or skylanders.

If people are interested in this, i could start this up. But i wont even attempt it unless we have people interested.

I wouldn't mind doing some coding, I just don't know the "flow" of a unity game or it's engine very well. And of the different supported languages, I only really know javascript tongue

An idea I have is a flying gameplay that I think would be fun(a bit more advanced than in the original games), where you have to flap your wings to gain some speed and altitude, dive to reach a really high speed, which you can turn in other directions and probably even do loops with. I think I'm going to try to make a prototype of this in GM to see if it is anything like I imagined and is fun.

The race mode with different characters sounds like a nice idea, but... how would Elora fly? Like hunter does, with fake wings?
In the race mode we could probably have powerups like rockets, speed boost, shield and fireballs. There could be traps or other hinderings too like a rotating wall with holes in it.

I agree with your list, and the rest of your post as well. Unless we can get a music designer to make some Spyro-ish music at least almost as good as in the original games.

Actually, an easy way to go about doing it, is to design a game based off the already present "Plane" tutorial.
Design that to add flying and landing. Then replace the plane model with a animated and rigged spyro model.

Then 1 by one code and add Rings, Enemies, chests and races.
Since i know unity, if i had at least 5 other people on board, this could be completed in under a year, maybe less.

Since it would not be in depth and huge like the full games. Its only going to have flight levels. Probably a total of 10 levels, but different difficulties.

I'll definitely be keeping my eye on this. I was helping out with something using Ultimate3D on top of GameMaker but looking at this... let's see where this goes.

ccrogers15 · Mar 13, 2013 1:54 AM

Got more info to add for my build. I will be animating and rigging some characters in blender.
The current characters i will have in the game are Spyro, Sparx, Elora, Hunter and Bianca.

Im thinking in game, your characters have unique flight methods.
Spyro and sparx use wings, Elora uses a jetpack, Bianca uses magic, Hunter uses his fake wings as seen in Spyro 2 riptos rage.

any progress of the game? smile

Wow, that looks cool! How did you make that?

Sheep · May 11, 2013 5:03 PM

With Gimp and a wacom bamboo tablet.
The colour scheme was partially based on Alpine Ridge from Spyro 1 tongue

Initially, I tried to make a Beast Makers-ish swamp, but I wasn't able to figure out how to make the same kind of islands or walls as in most of the speedways and at the same time keep to the theme, so I scrapped that and instead started with the underlying shape of the terrain and built on that, which led to this.

When did this place open for everyone?
