But a few years ago, an indie developer by the name of Hoix posted a short video showcasing a fan-made Spyro game called Spyro: The Dragon Eclipse.
The video shows an updated version of the game, with okay-but-not-great graphics, (if we’re being honest). In the about section of the channel, it had a short description of what the game would be like.
Now that sounds great. Who wouldn’t want to dive back into the Artisan home world? Or perhaps take a grand flight through the Dreamweaver’s castle again? But very little information came out for about three years. And then finally, a few months ago, IAmMurloc (we are assuming is the creator) posted a few updated screen shots.
Nostalgia is probably hitting full force right about now, but stay focused! It’s easy to see the vast improvement from the first video – and damn does that look good. Hoix also said that the game would feature all the old characters, with a new story, and all the other good stuff we used to love about the original, like platforming, gems and portals.
My nostalgia senses are in overdrive.
For now, it’s not a whole lot to go on, but it is a promising start to a very promising product. I mean, a brand-new Spyro game with all the old characters, classic environments, and sassy Spyro wrapped up in better graphics, and maybe smoother gameplay? There’s very little wrong with that picture.
