For the climbing Squawks, he'd probably be orange. For Pokey, here we are. 45631.png EDIT: Threw together that giant Squawks I said I'd add to my to-do list from T2K's Squawks. http://i.imgur.com/zy9zgmm.png It's a bit ugly but I mostly just wanted to see how it'd look. Use it or not, doesn't matter...

Ah, sorry. By raising I mean moving upward, not growing in size. Though I do admit a giant Squawks could be cool too...I'll add that to my to-do list.
That said, I'm almost done with Pokey and I'll be posting him soon.
With that, I await more awesome things!

I was going off of the old Squawks/Squeaks/Flapper theory myself. According to the Mario wiki they're both Quawks with different palettes, but I personally don't like to think of them as such. I guess the names are interchangeable.

Six? Only ones I can think of are the smaller (baby?) Squawks with the lantern, regular Squawks, Quawks who can barely carry the Kongs, and Flapper who picks up barrels. I did have one idea of an orange Squawks that was the exact opposite of Quawks; he'd be constantly rising while carrying the Kong...

Here's Phyre's stage in a .tif with seperate layers. http://www.deviantart.com/download/477396656/black_forest_blackout_same_file__just_more_visible_by_phyreburnz-d7w89m8.tif?token=3c867f46ae1e992c30041e3193387f457ad3d5cf&ts=1414784234 On Spike, his spines would be retracted when he is released ...

I'd rather he be a buddy, personally; wouldn't be any more confusing than Shimmer. That said, I plan on modifying the palette to be a faded yellowish, or maybe faded brownish, color. As for riding, like the original idea on the site, I plan on having his spines be retracted until a Kong jumps on. ED...

Here's something I've been working on some of you atlasites may remember. http://i.imgur.com/Zt7OpJ9.png I call him Spike. His ability would be to turn around, rear up on his back legs, and fire a spine. The spine would be controlled like Squitter's webs, and stick in walls for a few seconds. You co...

One other thing that would be neat is Phyre's glowing Booty Bird being implemented in one of the firefly levels, perhaps right after the no-firefly sign near the end. Make the player choose: would you rather hit the Booty Bird to get a :k: :o: :n: :g: letter, or maybe even the stage's DK coin, and h...

Sorry, Leo, but the KD, DX and DD letters didn't turn out so well when I tried it. DK barrels move too oddly. The only way I can think of to get all 4 barrels moving the same way would be to model a new DK barrel and animate it, then swap the texture, which is beyond my ability. That said, though, I...

I had one idea for Clapper. Perhaps Clapper is in a hot volcano area, and to pass lava pools you need him to cool them into passable rock (a simple brown palette swap). Maybe in order to cool the rocks, Clapper first needs to be cooled himself, as a seal in a volcanic area won't do well, so you have...

That water distortion and those buddies look absolutely fabulous! It looks so much like something from the SNES days, it's crazy! If this is how it looks unfinished I can't wait to see the water surface, ship decks and everything else that's not done yet :shock: I would mention something about that ...

I actually honestly think that poll on the Cheetah's name has someone cheating on it. I have a lot of difficulty believing 67 people voted for Skarlet and 60 for Sprinter. :scratch: Myself, I voted for Chase, and I would be okay with Sprinter too, but yeah, that's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many ...

That just looks soooooo great! Can't wait to see what's next with Clapper, Parry and the others. Does Ellie's water-in-trunk mechanic work like it did in DKC3, or is that to be done? And in the actual levels, do you plan on doing the water like this: http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120330224918...

So it's almost done! :D When should the final be released? Not terribly long, no, but keep in mind that level design, level gimmicks and 3D modelling for the map screen is still going to have to happen, and the bosses. A new engine demo, though, is something you can probably expect soon in the futu...

I love that model! It looks so good in that mockup. I do think the pink is way too saturated, maybe the yellow too, but definitely the pink. Perhaps try using some colors from Dixie for that?

That looks great!
I love that dumb Cheetah; I would love to see that face be used for the hurt animation
I'm going to be the one to ask: You said you might take a picture of the rest and I for one would love to see it, you're really creative!

Here's a flip animation for the DKC2/3/4 barrel.

I indexed this before I made it and started fiddling with the perspective tool, so everything can be changed around with palettes.

I'm going to have to agree with Phyre here. To save time I went ahead and made my own recolorings of the DKC1 barrels using the Kongs' palettes (though, Phyre, I'd still like to see yours ;) ) http://i.imgur.com/KpNSspo.png DK http://i.imgur.com/fi9rriT.png Diddy http://i.imgur.com/4XpWyqU.png Dixie...

I wouldn't mind making the letters for Cranky, Funky, Lanky and Chunky. Heck, I'd even be ok with making Candy, Swanky, DK Junior and Wrinkly. But I don't really have any desire to make entire barrel animations for them all, there's not really any need for it. If anything, I could make one single fr...

Done and GIF'ified.

I feel like the DD and KD barrels seem a bit weird but I really don't know how to fix it...any of my fellow spriters out here have any ideas?

It actually really is from his palette. I used the eyedropper tool to extract them from this sprite. http://www.zelda101.com/kiddykong2.gif But I digress, as I think I've succeeded in making it and Diddy's a bit prettier. http://i.imgur.com/GQXuSLa.png I decided to do Sassy and Tiny for fun while I ...

Added Kiddy. I used the blue from his pajamas for his KD, but I dunno, it seems off to me. It might just be a palette thing. Anyway, next I'm going to work on making Dixie's barrel and cleaning up Diddy's.

I think if you managed to do something with the eyes, and then once you finish the animations and all that it should be fine as long as she behaves in an expressive manner. You know what I mean, right? Looking around and swishing her tail while idle, that sort of thing? Also, I'm about halfway done ...

I could possibly try something over the weekend as far as the 'flipping while transitioning' idea goes. So everyone agrees on red DK, yellow DD, pink DX, and cyan KD?

A simple red bow on the tail could look good, that wouldn't be too cliche, I don't think.. But I digress, excellent work!

Maybe for the colors thing, the barrel could stop wobbling when it's about to switch Kongs, the swirly sound the Bonus Barrels make in DKC3 would play, and the colors would fade. Could be done by having each Kong's barrel on a layer and by playing with transparency.

Are you sure about that? http://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1199/11993967/2448939-3653429592-Partn.png I've never actually played tropical freeze (yes yes :shakehead: i need to save money) but I literally just pulled the letters off of these and recolored the DD to a darker red because blue...

Gonna leave this here if you guys need it.

Not the prettiest, but it'd be a good start. Maybe Phyre could do something with it.

However, for the DK Barrel, would it be possible to have the initials change when the Kong inside does? I second that idea, there could be a swirly animation where the letters sort of swirl like the bonus barrels do, but into a dark red DD for Diddy, then a pink DX for Dixie, then a blue KK for Kid...

Nice! My suggestion is make the pupils smaller in the middle frame and perhaps bring the legs in a bit.

The engine looks so smooth! I think you've got the original DKC games down really well. I also really love that level, though I think perhaps animating the water at the bottom would help it look even better. Really great progress going on

Personally, I liked the color of the head you had before. That was a good tone in my opinion. And @Spaceman2028, believe it or not, a good number of those sprites were created by me and Christopher Araujo; you might notice several of them are labelled DKC4, or have Sassy's *insertnamehere*. Thanks f...

Can't wait to play through some of those stages ♥
Perhaps, HiperKalango, since you mentioned you might try to release a demo soon, you could make it a Christmas Gift?
Oh, and Zaneebaslave, I'm about to send you a PM, it should be in your inbox by the time you read this.

Looks good; I'd think you'd need a stand pose as well, for when she's first busted out of the box and if you stop running. She should also perhaps have some kind of pounce attack? Where her claws would be outstretched and her fangs would be bared, but she'd only be able to hurt enemies that Diddy or...

I hope you've been able to cope with your tragic loss. Though I'm sure people are itching for news, it's the personal stuff that matters. I totally understand if you're still hurting, so take all the time you need, and then some. My condolences, and best wishes!

I'm not sure where they're from :X

Have a new kremling

Lots of editing and some rips from 3D games with similar styles to DKC, such as Sonic 3D Blast and Crash Bandicoot.
Also, Mechremling: http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2014 ... a_Krem.PNG

I'd rather they not be used without permission, yes.

While I am sorry to hear that you're having issues with errors that seem impossible to fix, I'm sure you'll be able to pull yourself forward before long. Decided to make a spoiler full of all the audio stuff that's been done as well. Sounds Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLT3DsB92jv...

Only if the cat is lamp post.

Do the flowers make pineapples?

Yeah, you're going to have to do it one frame at a time. I'd recommend GIMP 2.0.

Just going to leave all this stuff from me and Christopher here in this one spoiler for easy reference, don't mind me.

Christopher Araujo is an awesome dude who frequents the DKC4 blog. He helps with sprites and such; for example he helped clean up my barrel submarine and tank sprites.

Slippas because they resemble actual snakes more closely.

or ?

I feel the need to post this after your excellent posts, !!!!!.

Poor Diddy. No victory theme for him :c

Seriously though, them be some nice tracks right there. Lemme finish tweaking my own latest works and then I'll upload some of my own.

Time for some winterly edits...
