Spyro Map Builder
Okay, those of you who are experienced with the Spyro 1-3 games (wait that's all of you) know that Spyro 2 and 3 are amazingly similiar to each other. Spyro 3 is just Spyro 2 but with some new technologies and upgrades.
The way a game is made, the programmers make tools for the level designers to build the game with. Wouldn't it be awesome if that builder was ever made public so you could make your own Spyro maps, quests, conversations, and adventures?

Re: Spyro Map Builder
Haha, that'd be great! Now, if only we knew someone on the inside of insomniac who could give us this program. Heck, somebody might've posted it on the net in the form of Visual Basics program or sommat. Either way, I wish we could find it.

Re: Spyro Map Builder
Well there is a problem...Have you ever emailed Insomniac Games about Spyro? Odds are they put themselves as far away as possible from it because they aren't legally allowed to disclose it, because they don't own it, just telling you to go to Viviendi. Ask Viviendi, and they'll tell you they don't know because Insomniac made the original games.
It's a mess. I bet if it was unofficial, some level designer from Insomniac would release it...

Re: Spyro Map Builder
Hey Loneknight, d'you know that on youtube there are some video interviews from insomniac posted there? Maybe we could find the answers there. Also try searching for videos from other game companies like Naughty Dog (Crash Badicoot creator) for more info too 
.
EDIT: Here is an article I found from someone's sig on the Stewart Copeland forums linking to a Gamasutra article on it. The article was made by the people of Gamasutra but it has a intresting theory on the game. Here's the link http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20000 … ro_pfv.htm
Also I'd like to note that people at sites like Gamasutra are game makers of all ranks.(ex. Beginner, Novice etc.) I recommend joining this site if anyone wants to try to make thier own game .
Happy Reading!
AND one more thing: the E-mail address to one of the designers at Insomniac is located at the bottom of the article
