DKC Atlas Forum

At this point this game really just depends on Mattrizzle. This was only my idea. Mattrizzle is the coder and the brains behind making this happen for real. He is a top DKC rom hacker. I asked him about the hack recently and he said its harder to do it now that he has a full time job.

Well this is great and all, but does this hack need it? But I'm sure many hacks or other fan games could possibly use it.

So I had this terrible idea that I decided to go ahead and make. I thought about the game Joust for some reason the other day.... and I knew that your character rode on an ostrich. So when I looked it up, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the enemies in the game rode on vultures. Also, the g...

again let me know if there is something for me to work on. im not an expert asm hacker but since this project is a dream of mine i will do pretty much anything to make it come a reality. if its really top secret then you can just pm me the details. thanks.

Here is hoping that you have a crazy update for the up and coming C3 at SMWC!!!

Just checking in here.

Did we ever come to an agreement on what the sprite animation would be for Donkey Kong on Rattly the Snake?

There were a bunch of designs and I can't remember which one would be the best fit for the hack.

this looks awesome.

i would also think it would be super awesome if they remade the original levels only with these high def graphics. so i would enjoy seeing a complete duplicate of the original but only upgraded.

Mattrizzle let me know if there is anything I can help out on with this project. Just shoot me a pm.

Yes I also believe that this is a good idea. Since spriters resource is slacking it is imperative that we have such sprite sheets. good idea!

One more thing I'd like to add. In Donkey Kong Country 1 there is a small life balloon that is animated which shows the number of lives you have. In Donkey Kong Country 2 there is a small diddy kong icon non-animated which shows the number of lives you have. So for the hack would there just be a sma...

I think the main goal is that its just an elaborate character hack with keeping the core of the original game intact.

The DK balloons would only emphasize and complement that goal as portraying DK as the leading character as he was in the first game.

I was actually considering making D.K. the main Kong again. That would mean making him the character you start as instead of Diddy, changing the extra life balloons and life counter icon back to their DKC1 equivalents, and making D.K. appear in Diddy's place at the Cranky's Video Game Heroes screen...

Also don't forget the ending screen. I don't think the original ending screen works showing Dixie in it, so the original DK ending screen would probably take its place. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v256/erockbrox/image286_zps59f4f04f.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v256/erockbrox/image17_...

Phyreburnz you really are an animation genius! I never thought that you could literally piece together bits and scraps of different poses of Donkey Kong and such characters and actually make new animations out of them. Excellent work.

I say let the community vote on who has the BEST DK riding Rattly animation.

But I do have to say you guys are doing excellent work!

Honestly I think I like the original one that Mattrizzle did the best. Even though your work Phyreburnz is outstanding to say the least. And actually Phyreburnz, I love everything about your last animation except the part when Rattly jumps. When DK kicks back it just feels as if hes going to fall of...

Yeah, I was wondering how you were going to accomplish this. I the other thread I had proposed that Rattly be changed into the frog, but I believe that doing that is probably way too complicated.

Looks good.

I'm still debating what to do with Click-Clack. As an armored enemy, I feel like he should behave similar to Army--one stomp from D.K. should put him out of commission--but he differs from Army due to the fact that roll attacks defeat him as well. This means D.K. wouldn't be able to pick up a Click...

I saw the updated screenshots and WOW I'm impressed! So here's my comments. It'd be nice for that (hand slap) ability to have more uses — especially since DKC2 (currently) lacks hidden banana caches for DK to unearth... It would be nice, but I can’t think of any great uses right this moment, however...

Great work!

This is incredible!!!

and it might make lots of sense to have donkey kong save dixie in the final boss battle because at the end of the special ending diddy, dixie and donkey all watch on the edge of a cliff looking at the island sinking into the ocean and kk rool in a boat sneaking away.

That said, there are several obstacles to overcome: ⋅ Optimizing custom sprites, and converting them to a format that can be used in the game. SNES sprites use 15 colors plus transparency, while some of Phyreburnz' sprites use more than that amount (I'm assuming this is because some of th...

OMG!!!!!!!

NO way!!!!!

You are a legend Mattrizzle!

Please let me know if I can help you in anyway.

Also feel free to use any of my screenshots or concepts.

This is unbelievable!

We need to talk about this!

Thanks for your reply's!!! I don't know if this needs to go to the rom hacking section because it was originally intended to be a rom hack, but I'm new here so I tried my best to post it in the right place. The hack is in its early stages since I'm more of a game designer than a programmer, but I do...

Wow!

Thanks for posting this as it is an excellent resource.

Hi, everyone. I'm very new here. I plan on making a Donkey Kong 2 Hack where DK is a playable character. I'm sure this has been thought of before, but I'd like share my thoughts here. I originally posted on romhacking.net, but they didn't like the idea and so that's why I'm posting here. Let me know...
