DKC Atlas Forum

Aztec Kremlings could look pretty cool! I'm excited to see what you come up with! If you need any help coming up with sketches, I'd be more than happy to help.

Very nice looking so far! As for pants, I'm not quite sure that he needs any. I think he looks good the way he is (or after he gets feet, that is!).

Hmmm.... if you're looking for suggestions, I think looking to combine different archetypes is a good start... for example, what would a frozen factory sound like, or a sunken temple? You could try to see if you can make desert-e sounding stuff (could have a practical application, too, as one of the...

Well, I turned in all the crap I needed for student teaching... which is good... but then I found out that I have another freaking test to take... woo hoo... another hundred bucks out the window of stupidity... So... I already took the Papa test (used to be Praxis I) which is basic reading, writing,...

Spaceman, I've actually done several levels that will be in the game. Even though I posted them in the DKCLB level ideas section of the forum, I've made them available for anybody that wishes to use them. I've let HiperKalango know of my levels and he will be including at least some of them.

If I had a dollar for every time that happened....

I might have like five more bucks right now... so it doesn't happen all that often... but still!



Is it just because I don't have an overtly girly type username and/or avatar?

Wow... I've only ever worn a tie once... but I still know how to tie one! XD

Maybe I should leave this here...

(Okay so, I only know how to tie the four in hand knot... but still!)

Hmm... I've never thought of looking at KAOS's animations... I'll see if I can do something... http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/240/0/f/my_logo_by_phyreburnz-d7wxyy7.gif How's this? I took care of those little white pixels that you saw, Qyz. Is this background a better colour?

Everybody is always welcome to my custom sprites (that's the whole reason I made them, for everybody else, not me! I can't program).

Ah, well, thanks to Kingizor then! I'm guessing that there must have been some random stupid pixels that didn't get erased. I'll take a closer look and get rid of those pesky things! Spaceman, I'm not planning on doing that. Something like that wold just involve a palette swap to make Kudgel the sam...

Nothing exciting today... I've decided to just have something somewhat simple as a logo of mine (at least for now). I did this specifically for the DKC4 project, but if anybody else has a project they're working on and using my sprites, you're welcome to include this if you want: http://fc08.deviant...

I do think that it may be likely to see Dixie. I've been looking it up and it appears that Dixie was supposed to tag team with Dixie for the last Super Smash bros game... maybe since it seems to be a running thing to add previously scrapped characters, we will see her in the next game?

I haven't posted a photo of me in a while... and I want to share a picture of me and my sweet puppy dog (since there's a few pet pictures here)! https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/10430867_10202883895123098_8677755178521785102_n.jpg?oh=ace4bdb5788fa59c9f35aa80494b4082&am...

Geno, do you have a link or picture or something? I'd really like to look into that.

If it makes you feel any better, I pretty much totally took over the animation thread! You could just do the same thing, here!

Well, if you're going for a DKC game style type thing... it seems to me that all of the levels that have been completed would have the Kong head by it, but the exclamation point for ones that are totally done. The Kremling heads sound like they should be for levels that aren't done yet, and that wou...

Awesome job with the new animal buddies! :) By the way, I know that I frequent the forums much more often than hiperkalango, and I do speak with him via facebook frequently, so if there is something you're interested in contributing to the DKC4 project, you guys are more than welcome to let me know ...

No! DK takes precedence above life!!! Don't listen to Cody! (Nice to have you back on the forum, by the way )




Nah. I'm just kidding. Who knows, maybe you'll feel the excitement again and want to come back to this. Besides, it's good to focus on other things every now and then.

Thanks everybody! Ton, that last one is probably one of the least impressive edits I've ever done. It was so minor of an edit to do, compared to say. DK on the horizontal rope. :P There's only one guy left that is working on the engine of DKC4. I don't know the first thing about programming or I wou...

I think I know what you're talking about, Spaceman. That could be done by whomever uses the sprites. Animated gifs are pretty tough to get just right, as you would see it in game. It would be up to the person making the fan game to choose what they see as the correct speed.

Here it is without the belt.

I 'spose I could give it a shot.

Ehh... not sure if this counts as a double post, since the last thing I posted was from yesterday.... But anyway.... sprite sheet for Necky Krow necky krow.png Anybody have an idea for a name? I thought it would be kinda funny for it to be the wife of either (or both) Master Necky or Necky Snr. (or ...

I do have all of the custom sprites done for this, but I'm not going to make animations for each thing and upload them. I know that they will work, I did test everything... but check it out!!! necky-krow.gif Everything is done. I have hit, turning, defeated, and laying there defeated all edited and ...

Hmmm... interesting boss battle. I like it! So, here is an updated lightning bug box. lightning bug box new.png I think it's wayyyyy better than the first... which look like effed up bicycle helmets... http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/231/f/0/lightning_bug_crates_by_phyreburnz-d7vwfae.png

I don't know if I could go through with a full on animation of everything... but I might try, depending on whether or not people like the idea... So, I was trying to think of new ways old bosses could be used. Maybe my other ideas are better, though... this is just toying around a little bit. Yeah, ...

I'm sorry, Kimi. I hope things start looking up for you in this tough time...

Diddy already dances with a boombox, I think that another animation of something different was needed. I used his dancing animations, anyway, as a base, for DK's bass animation. It also is simply just not that easy to make sprites. You can't just rotate sprites to make certain things work. I constru...

Dixie and Diddy both have their items appear out of thin air. Also, There's a reason that his arms aren't exactly the same as the unused animation. It had to be edited to make it work. His arm would come up way too high to look right for him to hold the neck of the bass. I'm not going to be able to ...

I've finally gotten around to making another level. Fake screenshot! http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/231/1/1/black_forest_blackout_fake_screenshot_by_phyreburnz-d7vwcm3.png Here is a link to the level download. There is another link on my deviantart page with the same level, just so you know....

I have no idea what you're suggesting, then...

I've already used that unused animation as a base for his newest bass animation. It's right here…

Stay in this page and scroll up

Wow, that animation looks really nice!

Happy birthday, Cody!

Welcome back, Kimi!

Oh, I had another question for you... do you have any plans on making Kremlings?

Please pardon the very bad and very quick photoshop job on the giraffe... I'm just playing around to try to figure out if a giraffe would actually work or not. The neck would have to be elongated and the legs shortened, probably more than what I have now. giraffe example test 1.png What do you guys ...

I just took and passed the Praxis 2 test for art! Yay! That means I'm one step closer to being an art teacher and I believe no more state required tests for me! Yay! I should be on my way to student teaching for this coming spring! I'm excited!

Kiddy's animation isn't edited at all except for adding drum sticks. I'm going to leave his alone because it can't be more smooth than the original rare animation.

I had an epiphany today related to the scrapped giraffe animal buddy idea that Rareware had. I know it was scrapped early, but I JUST thought of a way that the character could be revived and made useful, for a very fun level idea, and that would fit well with the DKC games. So remember Stampede Spri...

Oh sorry! I should have been more clear...

I would like to make golden animal buddies out of Squitter, Rattly, and Squawks. Those I would have to make from scratch, I think. They don't seem like something I can edit together.

Thanks! Okay, so I was working on something else and I'll have to do a ton of work to make the rest... but this was the easiest, since the spinning things is just Rambi's edited... spinning-golden-ellie.gif golden ellie.png If I do decide to do anything else, I'm sure that I will have to do them tot...

Here's a new animation of DK on Squawks. dk-squawks-redo.gif And because I did turning animations for all of the other Kongs on Squawks already, here is DK's: dk-squawks-new-animation-turning.gif For the new animation, I decided to have Donkey use Diddy's style of hanging on because both Kiddy and D...

BlueTronic, you must have given a bad link. It keeps giving me this message: Sorry! We can't find this track.

The AvengerButton, very nice so far! I can't wait to hear more! I don't know if I really have any critiques right now, though. Just keep up the awesome work!

Nice, MatiZ! I can't wait to hear more. I absolutely love what you've done so far!

So, HiperKalango asked me to make an logo/animation to put in his DKC4 game. I've been trying to think about what to do, but I haven't been able to come up with anything good. Does anybody have any suggestions? I will definitely have a sprite animation as the logo, so it will eventually go in this t...

Of course not, Mattrizzle! This goes for everybody: feel free to tweak my animations. Everything can always use improvement. After working for hours on just one animation, it gets very hard to see things. Sometimes, after staring at it for a long time, the whole animation will just look terrible to ...

Never once in my existence has somebody described me as "cheerful," let alone "always so cheerful." I'm probably one of the most pessimistic people I know...

And my sister likes to describe me as "angry."

I'm wondering this, too!

Very nice! I definitely would like to try and make some of these fake renders myself for some bonus images.

I hope you don't mind some constructive criticism. The hand holding the microphone looks backwards to me... like his pinky is closest to us, when it should be the furthest finger away.

TheAvengerButton, I really do hope you plan on sharing what you've done so far! I'd love to hear it!
