The Dinosaur Planet Fanseries

Welcome to the official production blog to the fanseries 'Dinosaur Planet'. Dinosaur Planet is a game that was developed by Rareware and Nintendo soon after Rare's success with 'Conker's Bad Fur Day', 'Donkey Kong Country', 'Banjo Kazooie' and other titles. Rare was a creative, passionate company but it went downhill when Nintendo sold Rare to Microsoft. The very last game Rareware was developing was none other than Dinosaur Planet. Nintendo, for unknown reasons, took Dinosaur Planet and put their own characters in the game, which then resulted in Starfox Adventures. Rare's passion was lost under the command of Microsoft. Quoting Conker, “It’s true what they say. The grass is always greener, and you really don’t know what it is you have, until it’s gone.” Rareware was gone while Nintendo made money off what was left of the masterpiece called Dinosaur Planet. Nearly 1/2 of the original content was cut and the storyline of Starfox Adventures is a plothole ridden mess. The story of Rareware's last game is not forgotten, even after many years had passed and now we are here to pay tribute to one of the greatest gaming mysteries of all time.

DP Fanseries 2019 Update

Yes folks, the Dinosaur Planet animated fanseries project is far from extinct! I know we promised new material back in 2017, but we had hit some roadbumps along the way, and eventually I had to take a long hiatus from the project in order to focus on my senior film OutFOXed. But now that I have all the energy and experience I need, I'm ready to finish what I started. During the past month, I've been working on some new concepts and working on the final art design for the whole series (mainly the characters). Meanwhile, we have the storyboards to episode 1 completed, leaving only the voice acting and animation to be taken care of. Of course, we're still short on animators for the project, and we'll need some artists to help with the project's final art design. So if you are an artist or animator and would love to help out, please fill out the volunteer application form: goo.gl/forms/3uOwe6V8kZsqoVUw2 This is a non-profit, volunteer based animation project. In the meantime, while we continue our search for animators, we plan to revitalize the social pages with some new concept art that me and the team have been working on. And we will be working on a series of short videos called Dinosaur Planet Legacy, which chronicles the lore of Dinosaur Planet and all its tribes. At the moment, there is no ETA for all of this, but we do know that DP Legacy will be quicker and easier to work on than an entire episode. Stay tuned for more DP updates throughout the year, for there will really be more coming in 2019!

Sincerely,

Max E.

Director of the DP Fanseries

Hope everyone’s having a good Christmas this year! As a final Christmas gift for 2018, I present this Christmas card of Maxwell and his friends. Maxwell and Ana are joined by Mai-Ra who seems distasteful in driving a sled pulled by Dan and Sly trying to pose as reindeer. And guest starring are Krystal and Kyte from Dinosaur Planet. And in case anyone’s wondering, yes, the Dinosaur Planet animated fanseries project is still in the works. The team and I have just been under a long, quiet hiatus this past year due to many different circumstances (including the production of OutFOXed). We still have no release date yet, but expect to see some new stuff related to it in the coming future (This time I promise!). Expect to see a post about plans for 2019 by the end of the year. Until then, have a happy holidays! Krystal and Kyte are owned by Rareware The rest are owned by me

Yes! The project is still very much alive and we deeply appreciate your interest in our animated series. We have been working on things quietly, but have run into problems. Namely, our animation department is currently understaffed. We are working to fix this as best we can. The Cinerassic team consists of numerous voice actors, writers, artists, and musicians from around the world who are working together to make this a reality. Once we have expanded our team's roster of animators, we will begin production on animation proper along with recording the actors and mixing the sound.

Hey, are you guys still working on this fan series? You guys mentioned that there would be some new content up this year. But, it doesn't look like there is much yet. If you guys are still working on it, keep up the good work! I'd love to hear more remastered / re orchestrated tracks! If this encourages you guys some more, I plan at one point to make a homebrew rom of DP for the N64. I still have much more C programming to learn, but I'm sure it'll be worth it! Again, keep going if you are!

Hi there, yes we are still working on the fan series. As previously stated, the storyboards for episode 1 are 99% completed and we’re working on a new announcement. It’s just that some of our team members’ schedules have been fluctuating. But rest assured, we are still hard at work.
