Strange Server Problems // 18th of February 2005 // dark52
I'm not sure what's going on, but the new site has mysteriously stopped resonding so I've changed the dot.tk to divert to this old version of the site. Once it's fixed I'll change it right back again.
A Hero's Tail Nearly Done // 6th of February 2005 // dark52
Should be totally done tomorrow.

A Hero's Tail
Sorry about not posting the updated guide here, I've been more concentrating on writing it first for a while. Apologies for that, but here's a full walkthrough to the game. All the way through to the final fight. I still need to make a few additions to the Collectibles section near the end, but for a walkthrough sense, it's complete and ready to use.

Season of Ice Mapped // 5th of February 2005 // dark52
I've finally finished off making all the maps from Season of Ice.

Season of Ice
Turns out I was doing it the hard way before. The Japanese version of the game had the maps already made for it and I've now got them all taken from it. See them all here.

Attempt #1 // 16th of January 2005 // dark52
I've tried to make the site a little more accessible.

Web Design
I've changed the frontpage of this site so that it doesn't rely so heavily on JavaScript anymore, though all the other pages are still the same. This should allow a basic access to those with JavaScript disabled even if it means using the back button a lot. If I can find a better host that allows me to use php (free of course) then I'll switch to that and make it so there's no heavy reliance on JavaScript, but for now I'm afraid any of you without JavaScript will have to suffer. Sorry.

Part 1/4 Done // 12th of January 2005 // dark52
Few things to mention today.

A Hero's Tail
I've now fully completed the whole of the Dragon Kingdom Realm. Including the boss fight. Expect more soon. I've also got a .txt version on GameFAQs now so check that out if you can't be bothered with a more colourful and interactive version.

Crocovile Swamp // 4th of January 2005 // dark52
Well... it's done. That is all.

A Hero's Tale // 2nd of January 2005 // dark52
I've finally made a start on my walkthrough for Spyro: A Hero's Tail. And that's not a typo in the title.

A Hero's Tail
The whole first level is complete! Yay. That includes all Dark Gems, Light Gems and Dragon Eggs along with a lot more too. And as well as that, I've edited the map that I put up yesterday for Dragon Village, it now has all the locations marked on it. Click on the Dragon Village title on the Dragon Kingdom page to get to it.

New Look // 1st of January 2005 // dark52
Welcome to the brand new look darkSpyro.tk! After a few weeks of messing about with the site, I've finally launched this new look and replaced the old Geocities version with this nice new one. There is more space to exapand into here, as well as more features to use, if I ever get around to using them.

Also, I've finally gotten around to launching the character guide that I've been going on about. It's nothing like as big as I'd have hoped for (it only covers The Artisans world and the Peace Keepers Home) but it's a start at least. Hope you like the new look as much as I do.

Web Design
I've tried to make all of the pages XHTML 1.1 strict valid, but as I'm lazy, quite a lot of the pages are simply the same old stuff with a new skin. And unfortunately I still haven't gotten around to making the site traversable without JavaScript, though hopefully that isn't a problem for too many.

Some pages will, on your first visit, have a large space between the bottom of the content and the footer, this is due to me being lazy and not specifying the sizes of the images and to the way the page is generated. I'll eventually get around to sorting this out, but I just don't have the time right now.

And thanks to the improved complete control of css, I can now change the site a lot quicker and easier then ever before, so don't be too suprised if the site changes randomly from day to day as I mess around with it.

Oh, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
