The galleon docked at CloudRunner Fortress was meant to be in Star Fox Adventures, too. It's one of many areas that were scrapped late in development because the team ran out of time and could not implement everything they had planned. It's a small wonder it was released at all considering its troubled development. The move from N64 to Gamecube didn't go smoothly and nearly half of the game's content ended up being scrapped in the process.
Definitely prefer this game even though you probably think my criticism of it is too harsh 💚 It's still like a million times better than the star fox one which is not worth bothering with at all 💚
00:23:12 Scales' meeting with the Queen CloudRunner is unusually harsh in Dinosaur Planet. It was the set up for an emotional high point later in the game that sadly never got implemented.
The prison scene is quite interesting, the disguise looks quite cool, but isn't it a bit wierd that krystal suddenly cannot fight sharpclaws when she could all the time before :3
Next chapter would be Golden Plains and the Desert Force Point Temple. I couldn't place down the spellstone at the temple and was unable to continue my playthrough without cheats, so I decided to abandon it. I recorded my videos on an outdated build of the game at the time and the issue I ran into got fixed later. I'll replay all of Dinosaur Planet from the beginning with an up to date version of the game soon. As this fan project is still a work in progress there is no guarantee that you won't run into game breaking issues occasionally. I really want to showcase every chapter of the game as far as possible in a legitimate, no cheats playthrough.
so i see you never did a part 5, but you could theoretically continue from here, right? krystal would go to desert force point temple with the spell stone. does that sequence function in the current build?
To be honest, I think something went awry in my playthrough and I couldn't place the spellstone in Desert Force Point Temple with Krystal. I was playing on an older patch from October 2023. There is still a considerable amount of playable content beyond that point and I know that other people have been able to progress further into the game, even up to the endgame area. I recorded my unsuccessful attempt at completing DFPT, perhaps I should upload it so that people who made it further can tell me if I missed anything on my way through the temple or if I got softlocked. I was taking a break from DP for a little over a year, so I'm not up to date on how the DFPT issue was solved. I recall before that time we used a cheat to remove the Spellstone from the inventory and then left DFPT. This allowed the story to progress as intended. When I have a bit of free time I'll start a fresh playthrough on the current patch. I know that the Walled City T-Rex boss has been fully fixed, I'd love to be able to show that off in a legitimate playthough without skipping ahead.
@@asra-5180 Nah, I played through the game many many times when helping with the restoration project. That doesn't bother me, I just need to be in the right mood to record another playthrough as I want to put extra effort into showing it off in the best way possible, not just rush through it. Small details such as the moon going up during Krystal's landing on the Galleon took precise timing to get right. It took several tries and a bit of luck to get the announcer to say "Shoot the propellor" which he doesn't always do and have the moon going up during the cutscene. ^-^
Sadly I got stuck in Desert Force Point Temple and couldn't progress without cheating which I didn't want to do. :/ Dinosaur Planet got updated recently. I recorded my videos with an old version from October 2023. I want to try another playthrough with the new update. I'll play it again on a fresh save file soon.
I used the latest updater and the rom gets black after selecting a save file on retro arch. I found out, that this happens when I selected German in the menu before. If English is selected there is no black screen. There might be an issue with the German language pack. I have not tested the other language packs.
Ah, there was work on a German translation done but it wasn't completed and inserted back into the game yet. Currently only English text works, the other languages translate the main menu but crash when you load a file because nothing beyond that point has been translated.
Maybe you should take of the language select option untill the other languages are completed or you just put in english as a placeholder where the other translations are missing.
@@Klonx I'd like to finish the German translation and insert it. French and Spanish are already completed and working, I just noticed when I extracted the gametext. That happened last year while I was away. I tried copy and pasting the English text as a placeholder over German but it's not worth the effort as I'd need to rename every single dialogue file for it to work. It'll be easier to just create and name the German files as I work on them and insert once they're complete.
@@Fuchsfein I'd say not to work at everything at once. Take one step at a time as to not cause burn out. Dialogue can always be done after everything else is fixed.
Sadly it's not a complete game. There are three chapters for which almost no scripting had been done, so they are just empty maps you can walk around in. You can play it for several hours and explore everything the developers created before it was cancelled. But you can't finish it, there was no ending programmed. The restoration patch only fixes content that was already in the game. It doesn't add any fanmade content to try and fill the gaps that are missing.

@@rukifellth2 It could be, it's possible they had something in mind for the final boss and reused the idea in SFA for Andross. There's no hint in the game as to what the final boss fight would've been like.

Oh my, its the same cage sound from Rayman 2!
Noticed it right away :3

The game has a lot of such arbitary roadblocks . . .
@@SpringEnterprisesIndependent probably couldn't add the lose staff sequence yet.
I believe in the fan game of Star Fox event horizon the Characters mention Cloudrunner Fortress to be a safe heaven for them.

is there any progression beyond this point at the swap stone?

One question, can the game be finished? If not, do the final boss battle still exist within the ROM?

@@Fuchsfein uy 😢
@@Fuchsfein
A theory I have is that the final battle may very well been a big Krazoa head thing like in SFA, miiiinus the Andross part.

I thought the final boss was Drakor?
I need the rom dude
Go to the Hidden Palace website.
I can't post a link in YT comments but you should be able to find it.
