Spyro's Kingdom was to be the first Spyro MMO. According to early concept art, it was to be based on The Legend of Spyro, though the game icon depicts Insomniac Spyro. The available prototype allows players to create their own lair (which will reset after leaving the screen), explore the default lair (albeit with much of it blocked by various boulders), and explore some small ruins.

The game would eventually become Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure.

this needs to be fleshed out quite a bit so that the remote characters reflect what the local player is doing.

see if we are on a ladder and should get off.
TODO: add a 'vault' animation if the user is moving over objects that are low enough to leap
FIX ME: this should really be the direction that the character was moving while falling instead of just forward in whatever direction the camera is pointing.
with mousewheel speed controls, the crouchspeed variable has a slightly different usage - it is basically a modifier to multiply the main character movement speed by

Present at 0xBBB9E3. In the demo, your dragon walks right over water with no option to submerge.

Weapon

At offset 031824C9 is code for an unknown weapon mode, possibly a leftover from another game.
