DKC Atlas Forum

Sorta cheesy, but well written. I'm a minimalist when it comes to stories like this so I would've gone with a DKL-esque plot, ie. Cranky claims that DKC was too easy, so he makes it harder and bets they can't beat it. Yours is much better, but the Tiki thing and the Conker references seem out of pla...

I've written a bunch of new articles, including my latest one "Donkey Kong Country Concerns". I know that whatever is posted on the site does not appear on the forum, and people probably rarely check the site, so I'm just posting this to point that out. Also, to anyone reading this topic, ...

Gameline is a gaming news site that me and my friends have been working on for the past year. Essentially, this is it's history: -We are all members of an AV/Broadcasting club at our high school. We basically run the Public Access for the entire town, and personally film every sporting event at the ...

As well you should've been shot down anywhere from 2003 through 2006 (at least). It was rational thinking, it was logically reasoned based upon the information we were given. For years we were practically forced to believe what we did, and up until 2008 it was pretty much justifiable. From 2008 to n...

This topic turned out to be true^

Also, my article turned out to be true also:

I called it New Donkey Kong Country, but that's the same as DKCR.

So yeah, I'm always right and stuff.

The same was suggested at the DKU, it does seem fitting. The only thing that would make me not want it based on the Kremean War is that the Kremean War is in the distant past, during Cranky and Bazooka's younger days. This would mean that Funky, DK, Diddy, or any other modern character wouldn't fit....

So this might be a little weird, but I've been piecing together what a DK RTS would be like, and I'm wondering what your thoughts are on the prospect. Could a DK RTS work? Let me lay down the groundwork for you. There are two races: Kongs and Kremlings. Both rely on harvesting bananas, as bananas ar...

I just got King of Swing at a Gamestop. So that's good.

Yeah, I'm seeing it completely normal.

I notice nothing wrong with Google. 'Splain yoselvels.

Of course it's not the only important thing, it's just one important aspect.

What changed about the word filter? EDIT: Also, I liked that sample, but I agree that dynamics can make it a lot better. It's something I've worked on in choir for years. It sounds great to belt out the loud lyrics, but they sound that much better when they follow very soft lyrics. The same could be...

Wow, that looks awesome.

PandaJedi


Yeah....

Queue Bleak having a crazy seizure and melting into a puddle. Epicness.

Sounds awesome. It's a neat way to bring back a relevant animal buddy too.

I really like the ideas we've come up with but I've just gotten a strange inspiration to somehow incorporate Clapper. I don't know how, but it would be sweet.

The only other thing I can think of that might happen in the second plane is Bleak jumping and shaking the ground (ala Kudgel), or shooting ice chunks from his hat at you like Kaptain K. Rool with the blunderbuss.

Cool ideas. I also think something more interesting could be done during the 2nd plane parts. Right now you just go up and throw a barrel at him, there should be something more. Maybe there'll be floating hooks, and you have to avoid him charging across the screen for a while before the barrel will ...

I don't know if you need it but Frosty Factory sounds like a good name. Or Frozen Factory. Or Frigid Factory. Or Icy Industry. Anyway, if you're bringing Bleak back (alliteration!) is he going to be faced from the original backside view or something new? Because it seems a waste not to try something...

This Ice world of yours sounds difficult, it would probably be one of the later worlds of the game.


So is this fan game supposed to be DKC4 or what? Is there already a story? Where does it take place? ETC?

Actually, I would argue that a "Rare" fansite is closer to their roots. Sure, their use to be a larger emphasis on DK than in recent years, but the whole idea of the "Donkey Kong Universe" was because at the time every Rare game that came out was somehow connected to DK, and so C...

Some of those balloons are very unique ideas but they seem too extreme to me. I mean, a balloon that takes you down to zero lives? One that gives you 32? They seem a little ridiculous. Cool designs though. Anyway, could somebody whose been following this topic from the beginning recap exactly what's...

Actually, if no one cared more about his mistakes than himself then he wouldn't have been banned. But don't feel bad, I was just as stupid. It's a wonder I was able to keep my head low enough to outlast that phase. And I don't think the DKU staff are more forgiving than they used to be, they just ha...

Yeah, that's the problem with the Jungle buddies, they are cheap replacements for better characters. I like them, but I'd never take them over the real ones. I'd take any (and I mean any ) Rare made character no matter how insignificant over any character in Jungle Beat no matter how significant. Is...

I'd like to see them in one form or another someday too, but Retro says they're not pulling any inspiration from Jungle Beat.

I'd be up for a mix of new and old, but not if the new ones fulfill functions of old ones. Don't make a kangaroo if you could bring back Winky (though a Kangaroo would be cool).

They did use the term swordfish with wings but it was a joke. Anyway, I would take the "No Crocodiles" comment as what it seems at face value. I don't think they are secretly trying to conceal the presence of Kremlings, and I've come to grips with that. It doesn't sound like a secret hint ...

I guess you couldn't tell, but it was a joke. They were asked about important Kongs, and they threw out what should have been a very obvious exclusion of a very ridiculous character to expect. I like Lanky, but there was never a question that he wouldn't be in this game, and it was just thrown out a...

Yes, they did "hint" at animal buddies. They've all but confirmed them. Anyway, in a German magazine they had an interview. It was posted and translated at the DKU, here's the main details: -They confirmed that unlocking secrets will get you secret levels (lost world?). -When asked about C...

There is a very (very) good chance there are animal buddies in this game. They hinted at it.

I have nothing in particular that I want changed, but I do want change. I don't want the exact same game with a different coat of paint, but there's nothing that really stands out as "this needs to be changed". I don't want a ton of change so much as I want improvement. I want them to take...

I think it shows how DKC can still be a relevant new game again. If they had made it just a rehash of DKC with nothing new than it would just be trying to cash in on 15 year old nostalgia. Since this is a new game it shows that they are treating the series like it still can have new games, and not j...

Perhaps the worst thing about you Shed_a_Ninja is that you are almost certainly straight up lying about contacting Retro in any way. You are just stirring crap for the sake of it. Next, Nintendo does not equal Nintendo Tokyo. Yes, Nintendo Tokyo tried to erase Rare's DK with Jungle Beat, but that do...

We are not nor will we ever be the Sonic fanbase. We are more organised, more intelligent, more polite, and downright more tolerable than most Sonic fans, and people like you Shed_a_Ninja are the exceptions to that. The trolling, unappeasable, and downright annoying fans like you are much more vocal...

The idea of Diddy controlling like Kazooie is something I'm not sure I'll warm up to. I mean, even though they are clearly 2 characters, when you control both with one controller it won't feel like 2 characters. I'm probably going to play co-op the entire way through because that will feel much more...

tiki2.png Is that what you were looking for Scraps? I don't really have that much to go off of, I'll certainly make some better avatars once we get more footage of the game. @Tiptup: I have no control over the gallery, only Qyzbud can change that I think. I can alert him to the possibility of addin...

That's perfect, thanks!

Speaking of avatars, if anyone can locate a screenshot of the lost world from DKC2 as depicted in my current avatar, only with the kremling head's mouth open. I'm trying to replicate my old avatar and can't seem to find a picture with the mouth open. EDIT: By the way, I've created a few DKCR avatars...

I'm not going to lie to you, Toy Story 3 is the best cartoon movie I've ever seen, possibly the best of any movie I've seen. I can honestly say that was the first time I've cried in a theater, but god that movie was powerful.

More please.

I believe that they have claimed in an interview that they have made the game harder to compensate for the extra health.

I would put this word of advice out to any forum goer here: Do not pester Retro beyond perhaps a friendly email. Do not give them the impression that we don't like this game in anyway, because if I hear anyone complaining to them about the Kremlings after we've only seen four levels I will be disapp...

Do not get me wrong: I love K. Rool as much as anyone. Although I don't always vote for him in the DKC Election that's usually because I vote for the underdog. In my Brawl review I mentioned how disappointing it was not to have him in it. In my list of 10 most disappointing thing about Brawl, my big...

Edit: Hooray, post #400! Hooray, post #2000! Do I get a prize? Anyway, for me I'm still not too concerned about the lack of Kremlings. It's not going to stop my from being excited about the game, I'm still just as excited as ever. Besides, I'm sure we'll see lots of surprises along the way, Kremlin...

All in due time, my friends. Everything takes time.

Ha, if only.

Stanley=sure why not, DKJr=No.

Because DK is DKJr, and even if you don't believe that than you believe DKJr is DK's dad, either way they won't make sense in the same game. So no.

The key phrase being "based on what we've seen so far". We've literally seen nothing yet, they still have plenty of time to prove you wrong. Let's just wait and see what happens.

Yeah, today is like another birthday for me too because I got a PS3. Strange how that works out.
