Re: K. Rool Resources - Shoutout

I'm afraid Jungle Climber and other recent games do not count, what with the abombinable character revisions and all. It's barely the same character.

Re: K. Rool Resources - Shoutout

Done and done. Incidentally, I also have his sprite sheets from the DKC series. The King and Kaptain sheets are not actually complete, but that's really not so important as rendered images since sprites are so freaking tiny.

K. Rool Resources - Shoutout

So I think K. Rool is supercool. Over the last several months I've been trying to get ahold of a few pieces of King Krem lore in particular: his voice files, and the character model itself, from DK64. I've had moderate success with the latter and none at all with the former. In addition, I've been s...

Re: Where did the Kongs and Krems get all that stuff?

Have we forgotten Big Ape City all of a sudden? We know there are more worldly ape civilizations out there than the DK crew's jungle haunts. Likewise, there are probably more Kremling factories and sweatshops than we know about. K. Rool's vast Kremling army is, after all, vast.

Re: DKL: Why weren't its sequels as inventive?

I recall a Rare article stating that the developer for DKL was adamant (at the time) that it would be absurd for a company to make a watered-down version of the same game. He made sure that DKL had its own unique levels, archetypes, baddies, etc. to diverge it from DKC and let it stand on its own. O...
