That looks MUCH better! He definitely looks like he's walking on his knuckles, now.

Okay... I don't want to upset anybody... but I just have to say something... Here it is in the lightest way possible.... there is no such thing as psychic abilities. Even if you *do* believe in them, there is the James Randi Educational Foundation that is willing to offer 1 million dollars to anybod...

It's been a while, and for that, I apologize! I have been at school and I haven't had time to do my regular stuff, but I figured I'd let you guys see the custom tire sprites I made (with, of course, the help of Cyclone's tire model). What I would like to do with these is use them in the background o...

While there is great improvement, it still needs some work. It appears that he is just swinging his arms, rather than walking on his knuckles. He needs to look like he's putting more weight on his knuckles... maybe have him hunch over a little bit more?

Thanks, Crammalamma! I've fixed the order.

Ugh... so... I've had a pretty sucky week. Last Friday, my brother, his wife, and my boyfriend all came up to my school to take me out for my birthday. I didn't get drunk, I had like five and a half drinks in like three hours. It was fun and all, but the next day, I was very sleepy and had a headach...

Awe... that is sad... I do love their Point N Click games! I grew up watching my mum, older brother, and older sister playing the Monkey Island games, Sam and Max Hit the Road, and Day of the Tentacle.

Thanks, Cody. Mine wasn't really bad, just uneventful. On a good note, though, my brother, his wife, and my boyfriend are coming up to my school tomorrow to take me out for my birthday. So I have that to look forward to!

Thank you, Markster.

... Well that was uneventful.... Turning 21 isn't that great...

I'm sorry that I haven't posted much recently. I've been busy and I've been on spring break... although I've been on break, I've been busy at home! I can't win! :shakehead: What I'm hoping to work on is Tire Factory Terror. I would like to create a vertical DKC1 style factory. The one thing I'm kind...

I absolutely LOVE the barrel and the animation of it breaking! I also really like the cart, and I would love to see some more of your own creations.

Ha ha! I have finally found a copy of DKC3 for GBA! My DKC collection for GBA is now complete!

Mattrizzle, that looks absolutely amazing! I LOVE how it actually matches the world type!

... Please excuse the rather "feminine" nature of the post I am about to write... as it is extremely out of character for me to do such things... (especially considering that almost nobody knew I was female until Simion had to point it out! :P) HE'S SO FUZZY AND FLUFFY!!!! I want to hug hi...

It looks pretty awesome to me! I have a few minor suggestions. Where the fur on his arms/legs ends, it shouldn't just be a straight line (that is if you're going for a SNES or 64 look; Retro's model looks pretty straight to me). If you look at the 64 version, the edges are jagged, not nearly as much...

The computer has been in my possession for about two years, I think. I got it for the best price, too! Free! It was my mum's old laptop. She got a new mac and gave me her old one so I had a decent computer for school. I can't even remember how long she's had it. I think the computer itself was relea...

TheUltimateKoopa wrote:for shortest (width), Black Ice Battle, Castle Crush, Chain Link Chamber, Parrot Chute Panic and Toxic Tower, all from DKC2, have a width of 512 pixels.

While they may be the shortest as far as width goes, I don't think that should really count, since they're vertical levels!

I have a bit of bad news. My computer is just about at the end of its days. I got this damn fake windows security virus. ( Here's a link on how to remove it and it shows you what it looks like.) Unfortunately, I couldn't remove it because I must have waited too long. I was going to redo my computer ...

It looks like you need some more texture. It looks too flat to blend with DKC graphics. While it would be more ideal to do the graphics the same way DKC did them, I know how hard that can be (especially since I've tried making custom enemies and that's gone mostly nowhere). A good idea may be to loo...

Just in case this didn't get seen before, I am going to tag Qyzbud to make sure he sees it...since Qyz was the last one to post in the Random Though Topic! :lol: I would either really like the random thought topic go active again or make another one. I don't want to make another one if you guys real...

I'm kinda not sure why you moved the random thought topic to post mortuary... I understand that there's the chat, but there's not really a point in using it when no other user is on... At least with the random thought topic, you can post whenever, without having to worry about who is on. I also have...

Right now, all I can think of to allow chilly Willy to be in the background of the icy side is to take the same thing on the lava side and turn the lava blue. Ideally, I would love to have a cave background with waterfalls and a river or pond where chilly Willy sits, but I don't know how I could acc...

Don't yell at me for what I'm about to say... Honestly.... I'd rather play DKCR on a 3DS than a Nintendo Wii.... Don't kill me .... I know a lot of people complained about the motion controls for the Wii being forced on you for this game. I played a friend's DKCR and I really didn't like the control...

I did a simple recolour of Kerozene to make him blue. I would like to have him in the backgrounds of the icy and fire sides (blue for the icy, red for the fire) to make the level more similar to hailfire peak. I know that his open hands are cut off, and I tried to edit it (I may go back later and co...

D'awe! Super Luigi, that was super nice of you! I'm always glad to see your posts, because you always have something super funny in them! Where would we be without our own, personal comedian! :lol: I'm super glad that I found the A tlas a few years ago. It's like a second home... err, well... virtua...

If you want another level for your project, I just finished one! The preview is here. and the PSD is here if you'd like to use it!

Thanks for that! It will make things so much easier than screencapping a bunch!

I was wondering if there was going to be any way to either download a level map, or be able to save the image of the level. I've been taking screencaps and piecing them together in photoshop, then taking bits and pieces to make custom levels (I'm not sure how to rip tiles, and I think just taking pi...

I just posted the PSD of the level here. I decided to do some fake screenshots so you guys could see more of what I did. Mostly, it's just a new icy cave level and a new lava level. icy screenshot.png transition.png fire side.png By the way, Rockkroc totally looks like he belongs in a lava level!

I've completed HailFire peak! I have the icy side the first bit of the level, then a transition room from ice to fire, then the fire side. It is my hopes that somehow the Banjo-Tooie Hailfire Peak music can be used for this level

Here's the PSD

The trick would be making an environment that looks like it's part of the DK universe. Actually, I don't think that would be too tough, after all the captain's cabin was shown in DKC2 (remember where Diddy picks up the note from Kaptain K. Rool?). The only tough part would be taking the cabin from ...

I had to go with creepy castle! I just love the scary levels and music. I actually didn't really care for Angry Aztec's music. I mean, it was okay, but I don't think it was nearly as fanciful as the other stages. Fungi Forest had really cool music, especially since there was day and night music. And...

The two places I can see K. Rool giving the orders would be in the captain's cabin of his ship or in the throne room of his castle back on crocodile isle. That might take a while to make, though. I can picture him at his desk facing two or so henchmen with the camera behind K. Rool's back looking ou...

Happy birthday, Simion!

Ribbedebie, that cake looks awesome (ps, you should share the recipe on the banana recipe topic, since it has banana filling and it looks delicious)!

I just started building a level I suggested a little while ago (HailFire Peak). It's going to start out in an ice cave like Slipslide Ride, go to a transition tunnel, and then finish in a lava side like Hothead Hop. I thought of another gimmick for this level that I want to try out for this level. R...

I was wondering how the project was going... haven't heard anything for a while. Are there any new updates or is there anything upcoming?

Okay, I think I've fixed it.





Since Qyz said Kiddy looked good, I didn't edit his.

Dixie, by far, looks the best. I may work on DK and Diddy for a little bit.

OHere are Dixie, DK, and Kiddy turning on Enguarde. dixie-turning-on-enguarde-3.gif dk-turning-on-enguarde-2.gif kiddy-turning-on-enguarde-2.gif I know it looks like they dip down in the middle of the animation, but that's because Enguarde's face dips down... I guess that's what happens when you try...

I would LOVE to see a part in the beginning with King K. Rool (maybe him ordering his troops or something)!

Thanks Mattrizzle. The Enguarde sheet I had was incomplete. I just checked back at TSR and updated it. Now I'll try to fix these animations... again!

*EDIT*
Okay! Let's try this again!



Now, how does that look? Better?

I'm going back and fixing some of my edits that are a bit off... particularly the turning on Enguarde sprites, since he turns weird. I've started with Diddy, just because. Does this look a bit more official than my last attempt? I'm still not sure I can get it to look as good as the other turning sp...

Ahhh! I see it now. Just regular, it doesn't look like the tire text at all, but when you do that, it's identical.

Happy birthday, Banana Bird!

I don't think Gill Sans is what they used at all... for the tire, that is. The holes in the "o" aren't down toward the bottom like the original, they're in the center. Also, the letters aren't "pulled down" like the original (like how the letters taper down toward the bottom). I ...

Qyzbud writes: The following posts were merged to this topic from Cyclone 's DKC 3D Modeling/Animation Project (view this post to see where the discussion began) We were aiming to work out which font was used for the 'KONG RADIALS' text on the tires: http://www.dkc-atlas.com/forum/download/...

The font "Showcard Gothic" in Photoshop looks really similar as well.

I really like the way the baddies fly off screen when you hit them. I love how they fly far away and then up close. I think it would be kinda funny if you made it look like some of them would hit the screen and then slowly fall down!

Banana bird, your editing has really improved! I'm impressed! Keep it up!

Awesome! I'm guessing those are my sprites for DK's hook animation. I don't mind you using them as long as you give me credit ;) Feel free to use whatever sprites you need. I have all of the sheets here. I'm really loving the way these levels look. Is there any chance that you could upload some with...
