This was a pleasure to do! And it's a pleasure reading through the comments. We had no idea, when making Spyro, that we were making MORE than just a game. We knew we had something special from the very first time we saw (a little green) Spyro running around a flat plain of grass, but simply put, we knew we had a 'hit game' but no idea that we had a game that would truely touch so many people far into their adult lives.

You really helped make some of the best years of my life extremely memorable. You also helped me form an accurate opinion of beauty and nuance at a young age which gave a me a lot of peace and solace when my life became unbelievably hectic as an adult. Thank you for your time and dedication, not just to the Spyro that ended up being created, but to the aesthetic quality that made it so magical.

I just wrapped up the final game in the trilogy for the first time. What you guys at Insomniac created are some of the most charming and fun 3D platformers ever made. Everyone did an amazing job!

Holy shit, Craig Stitt! What a get.

I mean Dayo is a total legend himself, so the math checks out ^___^

When he said he aims for an east-west indication in the skybox.... That's pretty clever.

Wow, this is amazing, Dayo! I loved how you pointed out a lot of the beautiful details he seemed too humble to point out himself. As a child I really appreciated the depth from the parallax in Skelos Badlands that Craig mentioned at 45:03. I had no vocabulary to describe it at the time, I just remember thinking it looked so cool and that something about moving around that level felt so realistically "layered". And you're telling me homeboy created each of those stars in the Fracture Hills skybox individually?! That's insane. Makes me appreciate it even more 💜 Maybe you'll have to give the "Spyro God" title to Craig now. 'Cause he said "Let there be light".... Or at least let there be an uncountable amount of meticulously painted and positioned polygons that will look like light ✨

Craig Stitt?! MY MAN, that's awesome

Spyro skyboxes should be warranted their own "aesthetics" movement, so beautiful and evocative as they are. They are among the first things I remember when I think about the trilogy. Mb Spyrosthetics? XD

I agree with him so much artisans skybox is so underrated

w video and w guest and w creator ayuh

Such a big deal Dayo put a shirt on!

This made me laugh! (I was glad too!!)

Pretty sure he recolored Ocean Speedway sky box with Metro Speedway

I hope he knows just what kind of safe paradise he made for me as a little girl. He is amazing.

This was amazing to watch. Dayo, thank you for making this with Craig and it is very surreal to see a game that was so magical to me as a kid being dissected and discussed so thoroughly. Even being on the PS1 with its limitations the magic is still present in these games, and I think that goes to show the artists like Craig are what instill beauty into a game in a way that technology cannot create on its own

so well done. the way you walked through with Craig is so engaging. thank you

Dayo producing legit ELITE content, big ups bro this is Mad 🔥🔥🔥

that was so much fun to watch! Good idea editing in the music it really ties it all together

Yes Ocean Speedway and Metro Speedway have the best skyboxes to me. It’s mainly with the contrast between the rising or setting sun and the rays and then you see the purple reflections on the clouds and the rain showers. It always fascinates me. I’d love to see somebody recolour this skybox into a green or a bright blue icy! Or a dark red!

Holy! I'm in shock! You brought on Craig Stitt?!!!!

This was an awesome video! Craig's insights added so much and it was fun watching your nostalgia bounce off of his. I think you have a real talent for this kind of content

Love this! Right in the feels ❤

Really great video and loved the conversation you guys had, the dual dynamic really highlights some cool insights! Congrats on this one

OMG!!! Great video dayo!

I really enjoyed this. I didn't know you did this until you mentioned it on stream the other day

Zephyr has more going than you realise. Especially compared down to spuro 1 worlds. The colouring of the green hills is so good and the simplicity of replicating a sun and shaded blue skies not just blue all over. And the world has the sun virtually right above it giving that vibe of peak sun time its brilliant. And I think its a world that it works for. Other worlds would have felt worse off for for having this worlds sky box. Love your discussion ❤❤❤❤❤

Really lovely and interesting go-through of Spyro stuff!

This is such a great video!

i love these longer videos, amazing

this is amazing I loved all the sky boxes the game is such a vibe

holy smokes!! this is the best

This was an awesome watch

This is a fucking cool video. Excited to watch, thank you for doing this and a huge shoutout to Craig Stitt for playing ball.

What a treat to watch

This is awesome!!!

What a cool opportunity to feature Craig for one of these sexy tier lists!! I can't wait to get through the rest of the video.

Fucking yes, the sense of achievement little 7 year old me got by accidentally breaking through the wall while randomly charging around hasn't been replicated since

holy crap what a great video

Peak Spyro content

Huge Dayo W

Yes, let's give it up for Craig Stitt!

18:01 D+ teir skybox. The trasition between the background mountains and the void is too stark.

lets go dayo

I hope Craig comes back!

I love the different feelings the sky boxes give me

throwing shade at reignited lmao love it

This is a great video! A lot of cool insight that I wouldn’t have ever known otherwise. Very cool stuff

Cool!

Idk how to describe it but he has the voice of "a guy who works on stuff" Maybe the quality of his audio?

I think it's because most of those guys are phoned in when they do a video with creators like dayo, so the frequency range that's captured ends up being the same. Same kinda thing happens when you listen to old xBox 360 messages that were done with those shitty mics they gave all of us 😂

Nevermind. After seeing Skelos Badlands, I can see why you wanted to hold back! Ocean speedway is now A+ tier to me. Skelos is S!

Wait, are the Winter Tundra level skyboxes reused then? Or did you just need to cut things a tad short?

Aw, no Winter Tundra skyboxes?
