Someone also posted this to our forums as well! Here's our article on what was known before this prototype was released! Most of it appears to be in the ROM. tcrf.net/Prerelease:B... bsky.app/profile/fact...

https://archive.org/details/project-dream-snes_202609 Today, I’m releasing the SNES proof-of-concept alpha of Project Dream, the proto-type that would go on to become Banjo-Kazooie. I’ve held on to this for years, it was fun to have something that only a handful of people had, and as I am several people removed from how it got out of Rare to begin with, I didn’t want to risk that it could somehow get someone else in trouble, (so how I got it is a story I don’t plan to share.) I will just say that I got it from someone who got it from someone, who got it from somewhere. But with the current state of the industry and Microsoft's current heartless gutting and mismanagement of Rare and other companies it controls, plus with how long it's been, I feel it's more important to make sure this is properly preserved, and the ROM dissected by people with far more knowledge on how to do such things. I hope by releasing this, that it also inspires other people to release what they have as well. I know the Twelve Tales Conker 64 prototype is out there somewhere, but sadly, this is the only thing that I have. There is little joy left in the industry, as it relentlessly marches towards AI, layoffs, l anti-preservation and ownership tactics, and, in Microsoft’s case, the support and approval of literal genocide in Gaza. Let’s get the last beautiful things hiding on our hard drives out there for everyone. That's all we have left. Please delete Microsoft and Sony from your lives, install Linux, boycott Switch Game Key Cards and buy Nintendo Switch 2 titles that still come with the full game on the cartridge. Your dollar is the only thing that counts in our late stage capitalist hellscape. The attached zip contains a .bin file of the raw dump, and then the same file renamed to a .sfc to work in emulators, as well as this text file. [...some text omitted for limit reasons...] Be blessed, and love each other. Signed, FvckAsha&Phil "DREAM: LAND OF GIANTS" title screen
Facts About Banjo-Kazooie@factsaboutbk.bsky.social · 2d ago

Someone claimed to have uploaded the SNES prototype of Project Dream that they had in their personal collection on Archive.org. This is footage by OlieGamerTV. We don't know if its authentic but it works.

Got some of my childhood half-life maps back working on a whim. (Have dozens of mostly uninteresting ones, but I still think 12 year old me locked in with the tiny city map!)
