DKC Atlas Forum

I think we would have heard if it got DMCA-ed. I've been wondering what the status is too, though.

If you guys are looking for objects and backgrounds to edit for ideas, the Oddworld games seem like a good place to do that. http://www.spriters-resource.com/pc_com ... esoddysee/

Does this help?

Hmm, it looks too real. I'd make it look a bit more like the one from Banjo Kazooie.

Yeah, it doesn't quite work. Ah well. Thanks for trying anyway! Maybe we can figure something out later.

Kremahari is a great name for an overall world. Within that world you could have a bunch of desert themed levels with names like above. Like I said, I'm always willing to help with with proof reading and naming. Just PM me.

Hey Phyre! I actually tried that, but couldn't get it to look right. If you want to give it a go, please do! You have way more experience in DKC editing.

I just saw the new trailer! Amazing! If you guys would like help with naming stages to be more in-line with the other games, I'd like to lend a hand. They usually employ a lot of alliteration or rhyming. For instance, is the Kremahari a world, or just a level? A level could be called Desert Dune Das...

I think a good theme for DKC4 would be Egyptian. We could have Pharaoh K. Ra. The name could change but it would be a fun theme. He could probably use snakes and come back as a mummy after he's beaten once.

Final version of Melee's Jungle Japes. No door equivalent exists in any of the DKC games, so the outhouse looks a bit bare.

For some reason I'm making Jungle Japes. The catch? I can only use assets found in the DKC games. This is it so far. I'm not sure what to use for the door on the outhouse yet.

Wow! Excellent! I am so impressed with how clever that bonus is.

These are really neat. I would consider sticking to gold tokens though.

Much better! I think I just said they needed work on the YouTube video.

I am thoroughly impressed!

Very cool! Do you plan to do more characters?

I don't know if you've thought of a Kremling world yet, but I'd like to suggest "Krem de la Krem." It's a pun on this:

crème de la crème:
(idiomatic, singular only) Best of the best; something superlative. The very best.

Hmm, I think the clouds blend too much into the background. I think they should be made more solid so they look like something the Kongs can walk on. http://www.kirbysrainbowresort.net/games/superstar/springbreeze/stage3bubblyclouds.png See how the clouds here are lighter in the foreground and more ...

Diddy's muzzle is way too stubby. I would extend it a little more.

I really like the Winky one so far. I may try to think of a few you could combine. Maybe the Blackout Basement and Black Ice Battle? Is that even possible? Haha

With some editing it could work. Are there any other "zombie" enemies in the series we can take inspiration from?

It's from Diablo 2
And I like it, but the camel needs to be more in-style. Maybe use the one from Banjo Kazooie for help?

Haha, the beard would be hilarious.

Thanks, Leo!

Skreech does make me think that maybe there could be a "rival" for the animal buddies, and each one is a race or an obstacle course that needs to be completed before the rival, like Skreech's Sprint? I'll post more details soon.

Maybe he can't stop shooting bombs, so you're constantly having to space yourself?

What if his name was Pokey the Porcupine?

How is he ridden? It also looks a lot like the one in DKC2 so things could get confusing... He might work better as an enemy?

What do we think of Shimmer for the lightning but name? Also, do we have plans for an ice world? I think it'd be neat to have a downhill avalanche stage in a mine cart or bobsled or something. Think Megaman 8's ice stage with a lot of enemy dodging and jumping. Or a boss called The Kreature, which i...

I like the idea of ice and fire interacting, but all of those elements feel too complicated for a DKC game to me. Every stage has a gimmick, but that gimmick is never overly complicated, like the "dueling Clappers" AND elemental baddies. It works better on one idea. For example, don't run ...

Different colors could be neat. Maybe a Stop And Go Station kind of mechanic where green bugs freeze the enemies and red make them come to life and you have to light or KO the correct fireflies?

Great minds think alike! Haha. Maybe he could even work like Parry and if he gets hit, it goes black?

I love the new Support Buddies video! Great stuff! Do you plan on making things like the extra life counter and HUD visible at all times? I also thought of a new buddy; a Firefly. He could work like Squawks or Glimmer, but the light builds up and flashes the whole screen (like when you turn and Glim...

I agree, Simion! I sometimes forget that I'm looking at a built engine and not some kind of hack!

Wow! That's so neat!

I do think that something like Chaser or Charger would be the best name.

I think the yellow is fine, but the pink is way too bright.

Maybe at full speed the cheetah can dash through enemies and can wall jump?

Have you thought about how the cheetah will contribute to the game? What is it's special ability?

You definitely have a point, but red as default is the tradition in the snes DKC games, and DK is the default 1st player. People automatically associate DK with that red lettered barrel. If the banana colors were bein changed to match DK64 I would agree, but I think the current scheme is the way to ...

Those barrel colors are perfect.

I like that much more. Much simpler. I would say that it should rotate around the barrel, maybe? Or fade into the next color?

And looking at the Cheetah, he seems a bit too tall AND long. I wouldn't make him any larger than Rambi...

Scaling and editing the DKCTF battles might be a good place to start.
As for the Cheetah, it looks great so far, but it's not quite "Donkey Kong" enough. I'd suggest more expressive eyes at least. Some kind of accessory might be good too.

It looks like his feet extend as he turns...

Yeah, that Rattly is an old rip. I wouldn't be surprised if it's missing a few frames...

Aw, that's a bummer. Phyre has a great track record, though. I think she can help you out.

And what if you made it so the helmet could be picked up and thrown at enemies? I can't wait to see your other enemy ideas, Zaneeba!

Great work, Matt and Phrye! That new DK animation is awesome! It looks like it's straight from the game.

Maybe try modeling Cranky's beard as one solid thing with a hair texture? That might make him look more like Cranky.

Kersplash and the Buddy engine looks amazing.

Whats the plan with the Cheetah? More importantly, will he also wear sneakers?

I think Gnawty looks a bit too fuzzy. The model is great though.

I love it! It looks like he'd be immune to head-jumps.
