I honestly love A Hero's Tale; truthfully speaking I like to think of it as the real sequel to the original trilogy, even if that was that not their intention. The music and whimsy of the game was still present, and I think that along with being a part of my childhood is why I enjoy it so much :)
How very creative to put enemies, challenges and newer aspects in the game. The setting is very festive to Christmas with the textures of the lights in different colours, the snow covering the terrain and the whole castle of Autumn Plains, the newer geometry, like planks of wood, behind the back of a small castle and the upper places have been added to the game with the fire wood to be burnt by Spyro's flame breath.
6:25 Small correction, Steve Duckworth did not write any music for A Hero's Tail. He was part of Eurocom's sound team but was never listed as a composer. The actual soundtrack credits are Paul Lawler, Keith Leary, David Marsden and Craig Sharmat. I believe Frostbite Village's track in particular was made by Keith Leary.
@@EbbeAHT yep, and also some soundtracks on RUclips credit him as the guy. Should definitely work on getting that changed. There are a couple sites too that list him. I think even Google does when you look it up.
Given that GhostieSFM has also made the Gloomy Glacier mod for Crash 4: IAT, it's pretty easy to conclude that persons favorite world in A Hero's Tail is indeed Frostbite Village! 😉❄ I've got be admit you did a great job on finding all of the candy canes and am pleased to hear that you found my guide helpful when it comes to locating them! I struggled the first time finding the one hiding around the back of the Shady Oasis tower, very sneaky indeed...? I still need to update mine to the later version, as by the looks of things, it fixes the HUD/counter glitches found on v1.0 if you were to die or do the campfire challenge later in the level (the one I downloaded and used). Overall, this was a very impressive, informative and detailed video, Andrew! I'm diggin' this!!!! 😍
"we were taking spyro levels and kind of, wrecking them" Cyreides accidentally makes a prequel to skirograff I have to give context for that to make any sense, but. if you saw another comment I made, I have this 'original' project tentatively called skirograff [pronounced "skyro-graph"] - youtube/ watch?v=UTymrdQv8Aw&lc=UgwXxBWCGAQLaK0ufZ14AaABAg the concept goes back to this one time I was bored and depressed and so I jokingly wrote a "jingle" for skylanders in which I tried to make it sound good. then much later I decided to remake the song to introduce an 'original' premise it has different versions based on different "homeworlds", but in general there are references to an event where reality was torn apart: "They rose and fell and rose - into the highs and mids and lows [= landforms] - to meld the realm together from the fated blows" The meta joke behind the song/lore is just that copyright 'destroyed' the spyro world or ripped it away from 'average people', however within the lore what's shown is just that there was _some kind of_ world of dragons and then the entire thing was torn apart, with the new inhabitants (Graffs) speculating on how that might have happened but maybe never really knowing. and a little anxiously trying to prepare in case it happens again some day (but, they _are_ reasonably prepared because they built the new realms)
Tbh I'd love to see a remake of the original trilogy that added extra playable area and missions for every level in the game. I love Autumn Plains so much. I play Spyro 2 at least twice a year just to go there to see the relaxing scenery and listen to the relaxing melody, so to see it with added content, a decked out in a Christmas theme, and to have the level expanded into the sky was amazing! My childhood is smiling so bright right now!
Hi CrystalFissure! Ah my goodness, whoa good work and that is a nice Christmas Autumn Plains Mod, also Happy New Year. I hope you have a Happy Sunday! :)
sorry to have answered now, This Christmas mod is beautiful, it's so well done, it would have been great if the developers would have made small events, but for those who have pc, the modes have always been there to be fun. ^-^ ❄❄❄⛄☃️⛄❄ What bothers me is that there have been no dlcs, and still no response for Spyro 4, I want to see a new sequel for our purple dragon.
@@CrystalFissure We have had rumors, characters that we want to see and others, but I hope that we will have some news this year, and who will have Cynder, Flame and Ember in the story and playable too.
This is so beautiful, I really want to play it but I can't get the game to start when I put the mod into the game files. How should I do it properly? Or if there's some guide somewhere..
@@CrystalFissure a serious dip in quality nope not acceptable.This is the reason spyro 4 will never see the light of day because it was going to be the same level or even worse design(shotgun nosed spyro in one of the concept arts or whatever)
@@nooberstone lol, over the last few years, RUclips says you’ve left 64 comments on this channel. Almost every single one is complaining, whinging, or bitching about me or the games in question. For your own mental health I suggest you stop surrounding yourself around shit you clearly don’t like. You call this mod “shit” because of one tiny Crash cameo in a model you don’t like. Either it’s a weird “bit” you’re doing or some kind of obsession in which you can’t let go of your childhood models or something. Either way, move on. You’re not going to like *anything* covered on this channel yet you’re still here whinging about everything.
I can never get enough of your Spyro content CrystalFissure. I really wish this mod was also DLC for console versions.
That would be awesome. Unfortunately it’s just too hard to practically work on consoles.
Mods will never be on consoles.
@@MrBepis-qx5ye I know, this mod makes me want to buy a pc to try it.

What the hell? That’s crazy, I had no idea. Thank you for the clarification on that. I’ll have to do another LP and give credit to all them.
@@CrystalFissure No worries, it's a very common misconception for some reason. I think even Wikipedia credited Steve Duckworth at some point.
@@EbbeAHT yep, and also some soundtracks on RUclips credit him as the guy. Should definitely work on getting that changed. There are a couple sites too that list him. I think even Google does when you look it up.
@@CrystalFissure Well Google also at some point came up with an image of a tractor when you searched the game's title so I can't say I expected much.
I think Steve was too busy doing the Robots game, which was being made at the same time as AHT.
Wow that looks absolutely beautiful and Frostbite Village track from Spyro A Hero’s Tail definitely suits the level
Oh my gosh. Majestic, creative, and festive!!❄️❄️❄️❄️
It's beautiful and awesome : )
I like how it has an NPC character from that level standing next to the portal. So cool I think!
Owen Wilson wow moment right here
Jingle Bells, Spyro smells, Sparx lays an egg, breeze harbor trolley lost a wheel, and Ripto got away
YAY! I've been waiting for this one!! I'm watching right away!!! 😍🐉💜

"we were taking spyro levels and kind of, wrecking them"
Cyreides accidentally makes a prequel to skirograff
I have to give context for that to make any sense, but. if you saw another comment I made, I have this 'original' project tentatively called skirograff [pronounced "skyro-graph"] -
youtube/ watch?v=UTymrdQv8Aw&lc=UgwXxBWCGAQLaK0ufZ14AaABAg
the concept goes back to this one time I was bored and depressed and so I jokingly wrote a "jingle" for skylanders in which I tried to make it sound good.
then much later I decided to remake the song to introduce an 'original' premise
it has different versions based on different "homeworlds", but in general there are references to an event where reality was torn apart:
"They rose and fell and rose - into the highs and mids and lows [= landforms] - to meld the realm together from the fated blows"
The meta joke behind the song/lore is just that copyright 'destroyed' the spyro world or ripped it away from 'average people',
however within the lore what's shown is just that there was _some kind of_ world of dragons and then the entire thing was torn apart, with the new inhabitants (Graffs) speculating on how that might have happened but maybe never really knowing. and a little anxiously trying to prepare in case it happens again some day
(but, they _are_ reasonably prepared because they built the new realms)
Beautiful level, so fitting the time of the year. The extra Island, Frostbite Village music, the NPC standing in front of the level. Just fantastic
Can't get over how beautifully made this is
Spyro 2 with AHT music and Mario Galaxy type level design (the extra part)? What a dream.
NGL, this mod is PURE eye candy.
Winter levels always deliver.
Love it. Also, the Frostbite Village music from A Heros Tail

You too William.
@@CrystalFissure Thank you so much! :D

This mod is insane. Great job Infintate + Ghostie !
This is a very good mod of
*reads crumpled paper*
Freezeezy Peak.
This is so cool for the holidays. And I would have loved if the added snow falling in the winter tundra hub world
This is so cool I think! I love the frostbite village music!
Me too! It’s a lovely track and adds to the vibe.
@@CrystalFissure for sure! It’s just stuck with me for all these years as well too.
Very cool mod! Hope to see a spring savannah mod release!
This is so cute, I have no words...❤
Glad you like it! They worked real hard on it.
Happy holidays
Dang, you are a legend! ;)
Candy cane collectibles? Nice!!!
Amazing 🔥
Here from the stream! Hello!
Stream_GVNG
I got an idea how about they make spring savanna a mod in this game
You wanna know something Fisher. Theres a breakfast place in my area called Spyros. Its got the insignia for Spyro the dragon.
I love that, how brilliant!
Oh loveley
I love this mod!
As do I! It’s a lot of fun.
sorry to have answered now, This Christmas mod is beautiful, it's so well done, it would have been great if the developers would have made small events, but for those who have pc, the modes have always been there to be fun. ^-^ ❄❄❄⛄☃️⛄❄
What bothers me is that there have been no dlcs, and still no response for Spyro 4, I want to see a new sequel for our purple dragon.
I agree. It’s time to do something with the series.
@@CrystalFissure We have had rumors, characters that we want to see and others, but I hope that we will have some news this year, and who will have Cynder, Flame and Ember in the story and playable too.
How did the modder get the NPCs in the hub relm? Think he can do the same w/ Year of The Dragon?
Very cool 😎
15:30 thankfully Crash can't be decapitated because he has no neck.
I guess he could still maybe be bisected instead.
This is so beautiful, I really want to play it but I can't get the game to start when I put the mod into the game files. How should I do it properly? Or if there's some guide somewhere..
I'm sad that spyro community isn't that big.
It's still a great community though!
@@CrystalFissure yesss
Make a spin off fan game of Breeze Builders vs Land Blubbers please
Turn on RTGI/ray tracing mod. Will look even better with all the lights.
How do you do that with Reignited?
What is the name of that Spyro christmas model mod? It looks fantastic.
Winter Guardian in Crash nitro fueled 💙
@@MOONCAT666 Thank you! What about the hat and the lights? It doesn't seem to come with those
@@Manuelx98. nah those are definitely added no idea I'm afraid. I hope we get loads of cool stuff like this in Spyro 4!
What happening after 12/12 sugar?
Can this masterpiece be struck down?
Not at all.
@@CrystalFissure ok cool cause I remember how well the fan-made PS1 style Spyro was going before it had to be changed to Zera.
How can i get this level?
How do you install it?
For anyone who needs help (since apparently it’s a big secret how to install it)
Go to your game folder -> Falcon -> Content -> Paks and drop it here.
RUclips is so messed up, I havnt seen your content in atleast a year, Ive been subbed for a couple years. And only just refound your account.
No fucking way! I think I remember this username. That sucks but I’m glad you found the channel again.
aaaand the mod is shit now since it has the worst crash models head in it...
You’re still going? Give it a fucking rest, it’s been years of whinging, Jesus.
