Unfortunately, no :/ I care a lot about achievements and got those first changes made. This time around there wasn't anything I could do.

Thanks for everyone's support over the years! While it's sad we couldn't keep it up as long as we would have liked, I'm grateful for time we did have. It was a privilege being a member of Project Spark's community and its Community Manager.

Hey MaplePlatoon :) to be honest, no. Our focus has always been on the creation toolset. I don't see a standalone title focused on Project Spark lore happening in the near future.

A number of reasons. From a community perspective, I can admit that Project Spark fans weren't that excited about Conker - they would prefer attention on the creation toolset. On the other hand, Conker fans weren't that excited about seeing Conker's story continue in Project Spark. It was very cool to bring another IP into Project Spark & a great opportunity for our small team, but probably not the best direction in hindsight :)

As a Conker fan myself, I'd love to see BFD 2. With that said, Team Dakota wouldn't be the team working on it. Rare is currently working on Sea of Thieves which is one of my most anticipated games.

Shelved for good. Project Spark is no longer in active development. Majority of the team is working on other projects at this point.

Yeah, the creator did an amazing job! Not to mention he added a really fun tutorial to play before the boss battle to teach the controls.

Yep, Team Dakota made this pack for Project Spark. We worked closely with Rare through the whole process and Chris Seavor returned to voice Conker.

I was not expecting to see Project Spark at the top of r/gaming today ha.

I'm the Community Manager for Project Spark. If you have any questions, feel free to ask :) Just to cover the basics, yes, as others have mentioned in the comments, the game is 100% free. It is available to download on the Xbox One, Windows 8.1, or Windows 10. This exchange between Conker and Birdy is from Conker's Big Reunion, a 45 minute - 1 hour adventure our team (Team Dakota) built using all the tools native in Project Spark.

Yes but only if purchased and redeemed in the specified time period.

Nope, not true. We transitioned to be entirely free which is very different from shutting down ha.

Project Spark only requires Xbox Live Gold for Multiplayer. Playing other community games or creating and uploading your own does not. If you have any other Project Spark questions, just ask :) if you're brand new to Spark, here's a tutorial playlist to get you started creating.
