DKC Atlas Forum

CM August , I sent you a PM to help get the ball rolling with your friend's registration. VideoViking , invitations are something I'd be open to if there's a good way to implement such a system; I'll take a look at our options. Anyone looking to register while the issue persists can email me (m...

Ooh, I love a good 'do x without y' challenge... although this one will really test my patience.

Y'know, I totally dropped the ball on this one; I saw it, was blown away by it, went down a rabbit-hole investigating whether it was a WIP fan game or just an exquisite gameplay-style animation... and in the end totally forgot to post it. :oops: But yes, it's totally gorgeous. I especially like the ...

These are the figures I'm seeing:

0.5–15.0 / 0.6–1.0 / 37–44 / 60FPS / 3840x1080 / DF Emulator

The ranges vary significantly with mouse movement.

I can see what you mean about the likeness to Sweet Tooth, but I'm pretty sure that's Chief Thunder from Killer Instinct.

I disabled registration some months ago due to spambots attempting to sign up en masse, which was crashing the forum. I figured I'd solve the issue in a matter of minutes, or at worst hours... but it turned out to be a bigger and more difficult job than I'd expected. Rather than continuing to fiddle...

Cosmic, this is looking gorgeous! Having a Kong (especially Kiddy!) playable enhances the DKC feel significantly. The second video in this latest update appears to be private, but the others are stunningly impressive. :banana: P.S. Now we know why Funky needed a patch to repair the hovercraft... :? ...

I wasn't able to find time to do the maps justice, so I just did the best I could. It didn't feel right to make celebratory announcements due to the relative lack of quality, but I still wanted to get the bare essentials up in order to give those who were expecting updated maps something worthwhile ...

I was thinking of having a brief quiz in the style of Swanky's Sideshow, but I think I like the bonus game idea even more...

This is looking great, Cosmic! Your reconstruction of Crocodile Isle in particular is giving me an uncanny feeling of really being there, which I can only assume is due to the incredible detail and authenticity of your work. Thanks a bunch for making these videos! :bunch-tf: (I know it's not your fa...

It's great to have a tutorial video outlining the process clearly, so thanks for sharing. I've yet to try my first SJR, but now I'm encouraged to give it a go.

I'm not sure about the specifics of this either, but perhaps the mapwarp corners could be modified to point to an instafail bonus room or something like that? This ought to be possible, and should send the "no cheating" message loud and clear.

Welcome to DKC Atlas, by the way!

Really? Wow. That's at least three of us now, and I can't find any reference to this situation anywhere...

I know I already chatted with you about this, Jungle, but I have the strangest memory of Rattly wearing a fez.

Were you planning for this app to feature animated, layered, interactive maps like the ones on this site, or just still/static flat ones like in your attachment above? Perhaps the bonus areas could be indicated using the same labels (or a similar design to those) used on the maps currently: http://w...

Well I must say it's nice to have an Android developer in these parts. I've done a very small amount of it myself, and I'd quite like to get further into it at some point. You're quite right about the benefit of native apps (performance, features, general polish, etc. are generally better). I wonder...

Hi Chol, welcome to DKC Atlas. :) I like this idea, and as a smartphone/Android user, I have given it some thought myself. I tend to think a more mobile-friendly HTML5 app would be a good way to go, so that the result is viewable on any device, rather than just Android devices. I know that sounds li...

Hi, and a warm welcome to you, kshunk! One of our resident 3D modeling maestros, Cyclone , has searched for King K. Rool reference material, and has done a great job of recreating him, so these links ought to be worth checking out: ⋅  DKC Atlas gallery search: "King K. Rool" &sdo...

I daresay you're right, and I've no idea how I missed that! :? Thanks for the heads-up; I'll see about getting these animations sorted out. EDIT: All good now; refresh this file to update your browser cache if need be. ⋅  Ice Age Alley — Bonus #2 ⋅  Trick Track Trek — Bonus #3

Hi H4v0c x S4nTA , thanks for joining our community and sharing your vision! As Retro linked above, a similarly ambitious DKC SNES trilogy remastering project was initiated a couple of years back by TimeRe4per , but it's nice to see another 4A foray into this concept. :) I love the idea of a faithfu...

Great job on these, Kimi! One day I'll play Undertale and will understand the true depth of your art.

A great job once (twice!) again on these covers. I particularly like your remake of Cavern Caprice, but your first GBA cover is also impressively faithful to how I remember the original version. You probably know that Evelyn Eveline goes by the surname Novakovic now, but perhaps that info would help...

Hello, and welcome to DKC Atlas, Lovecraft! This is a good spot to say your first hello, but there's nothing wrong with making your first post elsewhere. Hopefully the surliness you encountered hasn't put you off too much, as most of us are quite friendly. I'll take a peek at your previous post and ...

I have to agree with Phyre here, guys. English is a weird and difficult language to communicate in, so let's all do our best to encourage and assist those who are doing their best, rather than teasing them. I ought to apologise for my gibe, too; it was about forum etiquette (numerous one-off help re...

Well, you'll find plenty of those here!

Welcome to DKC Atlas.

We should probably teach Joselix how to forum.

That feeling is but a distant memory to me... but at least I'm less than a decade out of touch (just barely!).

♫ Happy birthday to you! ♫

It's good to see a thetoad11 composition topic! Your work is certainly abundant and enjoyable enough to warrant having its own home here. :) Synthetic Serenade sounds great! The sound at 0:21 (a Life in the Mines sample?) doesn't quite feel harmonious, but it's more appealing later on, and everythin...

I love the idea of DKC Atlas being more welcoming and accessible to DKC hackers from around the world — especially to those from Japan, where the hacking scene seems to be particularly strong. I'd love to implement a user-friendly translation system into the forum here, but until that happens (and p...

My pleasure! I look forward to talking DKC with you.

Hello and welcome, CarpTheFish ! Generally this works by new members posting in the Introduce yourself! topic (yes, this very topic we're reading now, which I've merged your topic into) . If you have any further questions about forum functionality, rules and regulations, etc., these ...

This is a really sweet project, Cosmic! I'm loving your environment and object reconstructions; Cranky's cabin in particular is impressive, and I love that the interior can be explored without needing to change scenes. The falling leaves, out-of-control fireworks, animated grass, steam, water, lava....

I just had a listen through the full collection so far, and really enjoyed it.

I'd love to hear your take on Pokey Pipes when you get a chance.

I noticed your latest link is broken, pigmaskcolonel, so I'll post the URL here for everyone's convenience:

https://soundcloud.com/pigmask-colonel/ ... chestrated

I'll listen to these latest orchestrations soon and will post any feedback that comes to mind.

Nice level, Phyre; your mockup captures the oasis aesthetic beautifully.

Sunset Shore (rather than Shores) is already a DKCR level name, but perhaps Dune Lagoon or Mesa Oasis (or Oasis Mesas) could work as rhyming names.

Wow, this looks like an amazing tool with a lot of potential; I can't wait to try it out, and to watch it develop! Unfortunately I might have to wait just a little while to try it out in earnest, as my PC's having some strange freezing issues (GPU-related, I suspect). At any rate, welcome to DKC Atl...

I liked your Busted Bayou piece, but I love this one! The colour choices and environment design are right on point, and it's great to see Dixie in action.

*Topic stowed at the OP's request*

There are indeed some truly brilliant DKC fans out there.

Oh wow, that's a thing of beauty indeed. One of the finest DKC2 tributes I've ever seen.

His "Fear Factory" (Oil Drum Alley) video is also quite amazing:



I hope Mr Cazetta makes more of these!

Ah, nice idea! :) I think DK64 had a lot of promise, but it failed to impress me in a great many ways. I'd love to play a reimagined version of it that gets a lot more things right, so I'm hopeful that this project will deliver a better gaming experience. What are you hoping to improve/reimagine in ...

So how do you get this info? Do you just play the level over and over again to get the chest items? I play through the level and note what's in each chest. Most of the time I already know from having played the game so much, but it's always good to double check. :geek: If there's any reason to susp...

In an effort to break the mapping development drought, I've finished up the Zinger movements and labelled the contents of each Chest on our Squawks's Shaft map . Mini-Neckies have hover movement now too, but there's room for improvement yet. Barrel Kannon firing directions and visual Chest content g...

I'll try to make time to go through the whole sequence so far, but here are my thoughts on the opening text: "It Was A Dark And Stormy Night", is a nice callback to the original story's lead-in, but the relevant dialogue in the instruction booklet reads "IT WAS A DARK AND STORMY NITE....

I'm personally quite interested in knowing what it is about Krow's eggs that makes red Zingers vulnerable. In your video it looks like the Zinger simply disappears when hit with the egg, rather than changing animation and falling off-screen. Have you tried hitting other baddies with eggs? I'm wonder...

As you can see on the map, there are walls either side of the Bonus Barrel you referenced. The Kongs are able to stand on top of these walls, as they feature very thin physical surfaces.

A fun side effect of this level's somewhat jumbled construction.

w72kj20YNA0 Yeah, I quite like the atmosphere of the SNES version, and I get a strong DKC2/DKC3 vibe from the environments. Heck, some of those graphics look like they were pulled right out of DKC3! DKC3 & Dream jungle comparison.jpg The blue pillars, bristly looking ferns/bushes, stone path ti...

I'm listening through your recent tracks (and a bunch that I've missed — oops!), and they're really enjoyable. Classical instrumentals aren't always my favourite remix style, and the DKC3 soundtrack was never top of my list in the series, but you've done a great job marrying the two in a compelling ...

This is a really sweet rendition! Awesome work. 8-) I'd love to hear what you can do with Jungle Groove/DK Island Swing, or any other tracks from the DKC games; perhaps the Rattle Battle theme "Snakey Chantey" would suit your style? Or the Gang-Plank Galleon music? I think these would all ...
