Gotta say, I keep getting more and more impressed every time you guys show more stuff.

[Super Luigi!]

The world map is Mt. Kongmore? leo_core, that picture is awesome. I mean, I always thought DKC looked realistic, but this just takes the cake!

[leo_core]

That has to be one of the coolest things I've ever seen! I LOVE the map!

Gotta say, I keep getting more and more impressed every time you guys show more stuff.

Thanks guys!

The world map is Mt. Kongmore?

Who is Mt. Kongmore? I searched this name on google but could not find any reference, forgive my ignorance.
This image was I who did it. I got the 3D Models from DK, Diddy and Dixie and made the composition ​​in 3D Max whit a terrain. The procedure is this:

leo_core, that picture is awesome. I mean, I always thought DKC looked realistic, but this just takes the cake!

Thanks! Well, Still missing a lot on this map, much the same. This is just the base. When you are ready will have a more "retro" style maps of Snes.

He's refrencing the Mount Rushmore monument:



Just replace the word "Rush" with "Kong" to get the name.

[Super Luigi!]

Yep, that's what I was referencing. Sorry about the confusion leo-core, and I didn't mean to send you out on a wild Kremling chase after Mt. Kongmore!

I had seen this monument but still did not know the name!
I want to make a mountain that has carved the heads of four Kongs for the World Map (DK, Diddy, Dixie and Kiddy). But I can not find anywhere a 3D model of Kiddy Kong, I think I'll have to adapt a 2D image rendered

Yep, that's what I was referencing. Sorry about the confusion leo-core, and I didn't mean to send you out on a wild Kremling chase after Mt. Kongmore!

Now I understand the joke!

Well, The Blue Squawks is ready but I'm still finishing the sample of Parrot Chute Panic stage:

How many animal friends are going to be in DKC4?

[slym]

hi 2 thing,
first, I'm new there so i just want to put a little word to say AWESOME your project is really awesome i already thought to make a similar game but I'm too lazy ... continue your great job
second, will you make a new release soon it will be appreciate a lot I'm too upset to play at this game

(sorry for the English I'm quebecer (we are French here))

[leo_core]

How many animal friends are going to be in DKC4?

Until now we have these:

Table of Buddies

1 = Rambi
2 = Winky
3 = Expresso
4 = Rattly
5 = Squitter
6 = Squawks
7 = Purple Squawks
8 = Enguarde
9 = Ellie
10 = Blue Squawks

They are all animal friends from DKC Snes series, It now remains "secondary animal friends" (Lantern Squawks, Glimmer, Clapper and Parry) I've forgotten some?
The "secondary animal friends" they are easier to make and must complete them quickly!

Welcome to the forum and Thank you for liking our little project
Well, we have plans to release a new demo as soon as we have completed all animal friends and some krens (I believe that within three weeks).

Blue Squawks

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMEHz3pPahc

[Super Luigi!]

Nice programming leo_core! I noticed some sort of ability that allowed you to slow your descent. Is this true, or am I seeing things? Oh, and the way Blue Squawks sounded right before he let go of you made me think Diddy was choking him!

[leo_core]

Nice programming leo_core! I noticed some sort of ability that allowed you to slow your descent. Is this true, or am I seeing things?

Thanks!
If you hold up, it will come down more slowly.
If you hold down together, go down faster.
If you do not even hold down and not up it will come down to an intermediate speed.

Oh, and the way Blue Squawks sounded right before he let go of you made me think Diddy was choking him!

About the cries of Squawks indicates that he is to drop down you and go out! (can not stand the weight).

[Super Luigi!]

So I was right! Thanks for confirming that for me.

[Phyreburnz]

Oh! I just liked you guys on Facebook and I was looking through the photos you uploaded. I saw the swinging rope Kongs and I wanted to ask if you were ever able to add the swinging animations I made for Kiddy and Dixie.

I was also wondering the progress in adding Tiny Kong in the game.

[Tonberry2000]

Wait... Tiny Kong?

[slym]

well if you planned to add tiny kong you should add lanky and chunky kong but i don't think it's a good idea there 3 kong isn't in original dkc

[leo_core]

Phyreburnz, how you found it?
This is totally experimental, a friend of mine is making the process of rig model and I'll try to create the animations. Maybe we will have a new character... I'm working on "helper buddies" (Lantern Squawks, Glimmer, Clapper and Parry).

[Phyreburnz]

You did say about adding her on page 5 of this thread! Am I the only one that caught it?!

[doug kong]

I think it would be more interesting as a character Lanky Kong, Tiny Kong again is another clone of Dixie, since the Lanky might have some specifics as to grasp the barrels and float away in a different way of Dixie ...

course ... to have the two as a new double would be fantastic

[Super Luigi!]

You're not the only one, Phyreburnz! I noticed, just didn't say anything.

[Tonberry2000]

Oh, Leo, I was thinking that maybe you can ask Cosmicman to make a Kiddy 3-D head for you? He has a topic here with his model work in it.

[leo_core]

Yes, I had said back there ... but now got someone to do the process for the model rig.

I chose Tiny because we have three monkeys males (DK, Diddy and Kiddy) and one female only (Dixie).
I will do different skills for it (but is not sure yet what it will be added to the game).

Oh, Leo, I was thinking that maybe you can ask Cosmicman to make a Kiddy 3-D head for you? He has a topic here with his model work in it.

I really need it, I'll try to talk to him. Thanks for the suggestion!

Clapper

[Tonberry2000]

I saw the two videos on Youtube! Great work! You're really getting them done fast!
Did you happen to notice if Clapper is missing any frames? I did those sprites a LONG time ago, so it's very possible.

[DKCplayer]

Wow, this project is really coming along nicely! Keep up the good work!

I do not know if you are missing any frame, did not compare with the emulator. Thanks for the sprites ton, you rocks! =]

My boss! I'm just following up your great work!

Glimmer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-LVnLvLBug

The stages with the Glimmer and Lanter Squawks will be more difficult (especially with the Glimmer, too dark!)
If you see the description of the video, now I'm putting the names of you who contribute much to the sprites. It's time to give credit to who does the hard work . If I forgot someone, I apologize and update if necessary.

[Tonberry2000]

Very cool!So only Parry is left?

[leo_core]

Very cool!So only Parry is left?

Thanks ton!

Yes! Finnaly one buddie to left! I'm working on it right now, I'll post it today =]]]

[Phyreburnz]

I really am impressed with your progress! There is only one thing I want to suggest. I think you should take out the wing flapping noise for lantern Squawks. I think it's a bit distracting. Does he have a wing flap noise in the first DKC?

[Tonberry2000]

Really? I kinda liked the flapping.

[Phyreburnz]

I think maybe it's too loud or something... maybe if it was more subtle. I can see the flapping be that loud when you're riding him or whatever... I think it would work better if the flapping noise from Parry in DKC3 was used.

[leo_core]

So I put a "flap flap" sound effect more discreet. Maybe flapping noise from Parry in DKC3 (with slight modification).

I said that today was going to post the Parry but I think I will not give, I'm a little busy with other things today.
Thanks for the suggestions!

[Markster]

I can't believe how far this DKC4 project is going.

[leo_core]

I can't believe how far this DKC4 project is going.

Thank you!

Parry
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GTkX_ZjI6w

And with the Parry concluded the part of the Buddies. It was a real journey to put all the animal friends of the SNES DKC series in the project since each has its specific characteristics, in all whe have 12 animals buddies:

1 = Rambi
2 = Winky
3 = Expresso
4 = Rattly
5 = Squitter
6 = Squawks
7 = Purple Squawks
8 = Enguarde
9 = Ellie
10 = Blue Squawks
11 = Glimmer
12 = Parry

It is likely that we will have a buddy unique to our project, we must discuss this with Hiperkalango's yet.

The next step is I join the two parts of the projects, my (partner system) and the Hiperkalango's (the system of buddies). Before I need to make several adjustments to refine the system partner and a few more hits with the buddies.

When the project is unified, will initiate the bad system collision, which will be added the Krens. We entered the final stage of project to release a new playable demo!

[leo_core]

Boss!
Thanks! But I can not talk to you by msn... you should be working a lot.
I will unify the entire project and make a clean sweep, then send it to you, ok?

[leo_core]

The updates will now take a little longer than usual, since we're in the general settings of the engine, making corrections and unifying the various systems. I have worked hard at it.

But not to be without anything to show, from time to time I post something. Here is the progress of the rope swinging, with custom sprites for Dixie and Kiddye (since this type of rope only had the DKC1). Thanks T2K!!

Rope Swinging preview

[slym]

wow really nice job but i saw that the buddies don't grab the swinging rope like in DKC1, I think you should fixed that and all will be perfect

Continue your great job guys!

[Simion32]

I thought Phyreburns did the rope swinging animations...

[Phyreburnz]

Yeah, those are the sprites I did.... Tonberry ripped the original sprites, but I edited them.

[leo_core]

Phyreburnz, forgive me! I made a terrible mistake, but could not in any way fail to give him credit for great work. I've done the fix and delete the previous video.

I really regret having made ​​this mistake and I hope you understand. Know that I have great respect and admiration for his work on custom sprites.

[Phyreburnz]

Thanks for fixing that! Honest mistake, though, I mean Ton ripped almost every sprite!

By the way, I still totally love the switch between DK and Dixie. I love the noise you used and DK's kick. I think it works amazingly well.

[leo_core]

Thank you! But the switch system is still terribly buggy!! I am making the necessary corrections

And I forgot to mention T2K on the video for sprites rip, but it is especially mentioned in the next video, I promise not to forget! I'm getting retarded, sorry.

wow really nice job but i saw that the buddies don't grab the swinging rope like in DKC1, I think you should fixed that and all will be perfect

Continue your great job guys!

Thanks! I'm setting the coordinates.

[VideoViking]

I can safely say "Case closed for the rope swinging."

I do want to point out that there is still one little glitch. In the original DKC, whatever your active Kong did, the standby Kong would imitate. So if Dixie were swinging on the rope, Donkey would have done the same in the background. The demo does not do this - instead, Donkey jumps over to the other platform and resumes his idle pose. That needs to be fixed.

I did not add to the partner AI system so that it mimics the player controlled in the rope, but I'll do it yet.

[Super Luigi!]

Well, that's good to hear, leo_core. DKC4 seems to be going along just fine, so I can't think of any criticism that hasn't already been mentioned.

[Tonberry2000]

Wow! This is looking INCREDIBLY smooth! I love it! Even the Kong switching is better in this version! Great work!
