@@Cyreides They can't cease and desist you because it's no longer Spyro - it's Zera and they don't own Zera. They can't do anything to stop it as long as you no longer use Spyro or its characters. They're just trying to block it out at this point. There's nothing they can legally do.
Been following Zera for a while now. While there are times when I miss seeing your version of Spyro run around the older levels you created, it's been really cool watching this fan project become its own unique entity. I can't wait to see more of Zera and Kiwi (I hope I got that name right). Keep up the awesome work!
Been watching since before it got a cease and desist and was still a Spyro project. What you have done is really impressive and I hope as an indie game dev one day I can reach a skill level close to yours my dude! Can't wait to play this
I just got recommended this channel the other day but seriously this is exciting as hell to see. The art style, the gameplay, that soundtrack. The OG Spyro trilogy is my first and favorite of my childhood video games and this looks to be an incredible love letter to that. You should really be putting this on early access on Steam or something. Also my biggest disappointment with the Spyro remasters was the lack of a toggleable graphics option. The game was beautiful in remastered graphics but it lost a bit of artistic integrity from the originals along the way. This game looks like such a faithful reimagining of that I love it.
Got a new fan, enjoyed my time collecting everything in those first 5 worlds and that soundtrack is a real bop too! Looking forward to seeing the game develop!
Absolutely astonishing! I'm really looking forward to this, amazing work Cyreides. Been a fan since I wanna say 2017 or so. Great job! Will you allow recorded gameplay by chance?
Just found this gem and I fking love it, the music the graphics the gameplay almost everything 10/10 for me, hopefully Cyreides will finish it some day.
I been following this project since it was a spyro myths awaken and now it became its own entity But I have to ask, will sky citadel reappear as an stage?? That stage was so beautiful, and relaxing to watch
Just found out about this project, and hot damn it looks amazing! Such a colorful world with adorable characters, it is absolutely delightful! And the soundtrack is just unreal, hell I'm going to have a hard time focusing on actually playing the game while being busy dancing to these absolute bangers.
Looks amazing! I wanted to cover more of this because it deserves more hype than it gets!! Really look forward to getting my hands on it and covering some more content!! Very exciting times :)
Slowly but surely the final pieces are falling into place and as they do I get more excited with each one. Hopefully it's looking good on your end too!
This needs to be released as a full game honestly. Zera starting out as a Spyro fangame and getting a C&D from Activision would be an interesting story to tell.
So impressed with the progress you made. Cant wait for it to officially be out. Im sorry im probably gonna wait till then haha i dont wanna spoil it for myself. So looking forward to it. So beautiful (music and art)
I played the demo, I am buying this the moment it goes on Steam. I'm going to break my rule of never buying Early Access but man, the demo alone is so good. All it needs is a Spyro model modded in and it's perfect.
I still can hardly believe this exists. A true spiritual successor to Spyro that might end up being even better in some aspects. (I never thought I would say _that.)_ You've already taken the platforming in Spyro to the next level, after all.
Physical copies are EXTREMELY difficult for indie devs to do, though I imagine getting a digital download on those would be within the realm of possibility. Consoles are really tricky for indie devs to work with even still. Easier than before, but still.. not PC easy.
With everything that's happening with Activision right now, buying a new official Spyro from that company would be a bad idea, so let's support this spiritual successor to Spyro instead.
Hii Cyreides, I'm a bit out of the loop and the twitter posts are all protected... just wanted to ask what happened with this game? Is it abandoned or are you still working on it? What's the C&D deal mentioned in the comment? From what I understand this was a Spyro fangame but you changed all assets to be your own. Anyways... hope you're well, I just recently found this project and downloaded the demo on itchio, here's hoping the project (or your dev efforts) aren't dead. Take care!
“So about that Cease and Desist” kdjfkgkglgk
@@wolf_skin Genuinely. Really hurt at first, still does at times... but I wouldn't trade Zera for the world!

@@PorpleSkies They aren't trying to do it now.
Definitely hits different after the civil rights lawsuit, walkout, SEC investigation etc.
@@Mnemoniforma9.00 I came back just to say it hits different now that *Activision is being consumed by Microsoft* lol
It's crazy to think this started out as a Spyro fan game But then evolved into its own project
Yeah

Same here! I loved the early Spyro builds! Zera is still super awesome though! Once I get a good computer, I will definitely finally try this game!!
Me too, but I haven't updated my build in a while.
Since 4.1, I believe.
...
Not for lack of wanting to, mind you.
This aged better than Activision.
So did most things! 😂
I bet their legal department hounds are KICKING themselves
This comment has continued to age better as well given all the most recent stuff with Kotick too. Oof.
I hope to see a steam page by Christmas!
Fuck yeah

I love how the gameplay footage is purposely lower quality like old trailer videos for 90s and early 2000s games. Nice touch!
I remember when this game was a spyro fan game, I used to watch blender streams, I even made fan art, glad to see its still going :)

Ok, some of those quotes got a chuckle out of me. Especially Activision.
YOOOOOO!
Wish ya all the best, Cyr. Hope the project’s coming along nicely and you’re doing well!
The soundtrack is mesmerizing.
netrum is a god
Getting a heavy classic Spyro vibe from this and I like it
Got a new fan, enjoyed my time collecting everything in those first 5 worlds and that soundtrack is a real bop too! Looking forward to seeing the game develop!
0:46 Those review quotes, though! 😄
If this game project will ever become a full game with a pricetag i would buy it on day one, been a fan since it was spyro :D
Loved seeing you in the Hubworld Direct!
This feels so nostalgic. I am glad that you remade Spyro fan game into soething original. Keep it up!
looks really cool and i can feel the passion that has gone into the project, cant wait for steam release!
Looking forward to this coming out before we even catch word of a new Spyro
I love it!
Brilliant trailer, conveys the spirit of the game perfectly!
This looks awesome!! It's incredible to see it all coming together, fantastic work!
Absolutely astonishing! I'm really looking forward to this, amazing work Cyreides. Been a fan since I wanna say 2017 or so. Great job! Will you allow recorded gameplay by chance?
Go nuts!
@@Cyreides woo! Thanks looking forward to it!

I been following this project since it was a spyro myths awaken and now it became its own entity
But I have to ask, will sky citadel reappear as an stage??
That stage was so beautiful, and relaxing to watch
Windy Citadel will be a thing! Combo of the old ideas/stages of Windmill Way and Sky Citadel!
@@Cyreides oh im glad to hear that, i really loved sky citadel, it had all the beauty energy as the spyro 2 hubworlds.
Keep this going, nice job
i remember when it was spyro myth awakens, and wow this project looks so cool! hope there will be VA and an opening cutscene added
I'm happy to see some progress on this my dude

cant wait to check this out!
I'm so looking forward to this!

"I've played worse" I'm dead XD
Have you considered releasing this on steam? :) Been following this project since it was a Spyro game, it has really come a long way. Great work man!
*(wheeze at Cease and Desist)*
It's so cute. I want to try it now.
Apparently this project is on the backburner for now, which is kind of a bummer, but making a game is probably a huge undertaking.
I like those quote jokes, nice job!
PLEASE bring this game to PS5 & Switch via physical release.
Physical copies are EXTREMELY difficult for indie devs to do, though I imagine getting a digital download on those would be within the realm of possibility. Consoles are really tricky for indie devs to work with even still. Easier than before, but still.. not PC easy.
@@NazzyDragon it isn’t difficult to get it physical if you partner up with limited run games
So your mom like the game ?
I'm sold !
She thinks its great so that must mean something... right? RIGHT?
Haha love those review quotes! 😂
It looks amazing! You have really the same style, like the Incomniac guys, some days ago.
You think a switch-port is possible ?
this looks so cool oml
With everything that's happening with Activision right now, buying a new official Spyro from that company would be a bad idea, so let's support this spiritual successor to Spyro instead.
Haha, I loved those reviews!
I want this game and its ost 😫 😩 😭
Have you ever considered releasing a "patch" post-release to convert the game back to its former Spyro content? Cant wait to play this either way
Looks incredible mate
Very cool
Man, this PlayStation game looks lit.
Best reviews ever!
do you have a discord to follow development and ask questions?
Love it
Hi, whens the game expected to release?
W O O O O O O O O O O O O
How long until the full game comes to steam? I would pay money for this
Nice, I'm subscribbling
Love it!
Put it on Steam and I'll buy it.
So, do you plan to release this on consoles too?
will this come to the switch? i'd love to play it :3
Cute game

Will this ever get a Steam release?
I wait for you speedrun of this game :D
Eventually! It's technically already setup (partially), just isn't publicly viewable.
@@Cyreides the discord of zera is down?
@@mynameisberry9740 Shouldn't be discord.gg/JTCT4yy2fd
