Hey guys, been on the trail of 'Project Dream', that old game Rare was supposed to make before Banjo-Kazooie. There's gotta be some prototype or demo out there. Finding footage or a ROM of this would be legendary. Anyone here with ties to Rare who might have some inside scoop?

Project Dream revival when?? 😭 Been dying to get a glimpse of what could've been. Heard some music tracks that were supposedly repurposed for Banjo. Gotta be true to the Rareware vibe of the 90s. But a ROM? Pfff, as likely as finding Mew under a truck.

You're not gonna find a working ROM just laying around the web, dude. If anything exists, it’s buried deep. You'd have better luck with interviews—some devs love reminiscing. Maybe a coder from back in the day has some inside deets. Start a twitter campaign or smth, might just get enough attention for a dev to spill the beans.

Here's the thing, everyone says 'Project Dream' evolved into Banjo, but what if it's still out there? What if it's hidden in some other game's code? I mean, they did it with Stop 'N' Swop, right? Makes u think.

good luck with that hunt, finding a playable build of 'Project Dream' is like finding a unicorn. maybe all we'll ever get are those tiny snippets they showed in interviews and documentaries. but hey, if u do find it, you’ll be a legend!

Without breaking NDA...look into Rare employee reunions or twitter. Sometimes, they get nostalgic, share stuff from the good old days. Who knows what might slip through the cracks, hint hint.

I suspect if a 'Project Dream' prototype exists, it's in the hands of a former Rare Dev. Unless someone comes forward, we're outta luck. OR it's locked up tight in Rare's vault. Either way, it's a tough nut to crack.

lol 'Project Dream'? Why not hunt for my lost socks while you're at it? Probably get more luck and at least you'd have something to show for it in the end!
Oh man, 'Project Dream' is like the holy grail of lost media in gaming. Last I heard, there was a guy who claimed his uncle worked at Rare and had some concept art but no prototype. Would give my left joystick to see anything from that era tbh.
