    It's been twenty-five years, and Donkey Kong Country 2 is still phenomenal!

    1. TwentySixHundred

      TwentySixHundred

      Possibly one my favorite games of all time. My go-to feel happy game when having a cold or flu and all cooped in bed at home.

      TwentySixHundred, DKC2 is on my list of Top VG sequels.

      Donkey Kong Country 3 thoughts:

      When I first played DKC3 when I was 11, I was quite surprised that some of the stage motifs didn't use remixes of the first game's respective songs. As I played it more and more later on, I came to like and appreciate it. The GBA version, however, did have one remix, Aquatic Ambiance 2005. The rest of its music, while good, is mostly unfitting. As for the game as a whole: Almost, if not just, as good as DKC2.

    There needs to be more survival horror games set in Louisiana, and not just RE7.

    I'm currently writing in a Twin laser power-up for the shooting demo. power_up_obtained if power_upFlag=1 then if joy0fire && joyposup=1 then twinlaserY=twinlaserY-10 : playsfx sfx_plainlaser if joy0fire && joyposdown=1 then twinlaserY=twinlaserY-10 : playsfx sfx_plainlaser if joy0fire && joyposleft=1 then twinlaserY=twinlaserY-10 : playsfx sfx_plainlaser if joy0fire && joyposright=1 then twinlaserY=twinlaserY-10 : playsfx sfx_plainlaser if !joy0fire then twinlaserX=playerX+2:twinlaserY=playerY-8 No build, just the source files this time.

    Using Wide sprites to optimize for speed, that's pretty clever.

    I admit to not liking Gainax/Studio Trigger's output for the most part. Outside of Gunbuster, Nadia, FLCL, Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, and Black Dynamite; their shows bore me.

      I think the only Gainax shows I've even seen were Ebichu and Panty & Stocking.

      I'm still a huge fan of FLCL,  but only the original First season.  I've tried to watch all the sequels and still have around 7 episodes on my DVR to catch up on.  Not bad, but they never captured the magic of the Original...Lightning in a bottle so to speak. ... and IMO Neon Genesis Evangelion was pretty good, Oops!  The theme song (and this sped up remix I have) just popped into my head!   Good thing I like that song heh...

      While I dislike NGE, I will admit to liking the designs of the plugsuits, Eva units, and many of the angel designs. That, and it did help get Hideaki Anno out of that funk that resulted from working on Nadia.

    Thought I would get back on the programming track. If anyone wants to edit that sprite I made, here's the source files.

    It's been a while since I did a proper Drumfunk/Intelligent Jungle/Atmospheric D&B: https://www.bandlab.com/fighting_zenith/mountainside-wip-940efe2a?revId=2693f524-3813-eb11-96f5-501ac5b31de6

    I thank Stranjah for the tutorial:

    You have an excellent engine so far, and your sound driver is really solid. Just keep at it.

    The amount of Italian restaurants that make decent Carbonara in my area is obscenely low. (Ditto for Cacio e Pepe.)

    1. SlidellMan

      Luckily,  I know a few people who know how to make Carbonara proper.

    Here's my latest sprite for one of the player characters.

    I love Tasting History, and am thinking of making some of the things he's made.

    Your thoughts?

      I have to applaud Max for his dilligence.

    A work in progress version of a 160B player select graphic. I decided to go with that because it would be easier to work with instead of trying to layer sprites for the player select.

    Redout seems like a worthy successor to F-Zero X, AX, and GX.

    There's just something about the TB-303 that makes people want more of it. Fun fact: Roland also used the same filter on the SH-101 and MC-202.

      Gotta love the Classic Roland sounds!

      I have TB-03 and love it!

      I have a TD-3 which is a 303 clone and I love it. I also have a TB-3 but it's not as good at 303 sounds. This album of mine has lot's of 303 in it...

    Wow, you got to team up with legendary programmers? I have to say that you chose wisely to hire them.
  18. SlidellMan
    Those look amazing! However, finding practical uses for those effects, would be a real challenge.
  19. SlidellMan
    I think I could learn something about programming levels from you, Fulton.

    I wonder what do you guys think of BallisticNG? (AKA Wipeout after Sony pulled the plug on Psygnosis/Studio Liverpool.)

      I love it!  Captures the Wipeout experience perfectly

      Thanks for the heads up - I'll give it a try (assuming PC is up to spec).

    Thought I would remake what I did in LMMS years ago: https://www.bandlab.com/fighting_zenith/ph-balance-redone-2b8991f5?revId=7d897365-6d0a-eb11-96f5-501ac5b31de6

    I'm still amazed that the Extreme G games have held up quite well.

  23. SlidellMan

    One thing that Square Enix should have on their New Year's Resolution list: Keep Tetsuya Nomura and Motomu Toriyama out of the story department. Seriously, they make Hideo Kojima look like Neil Gaiman.

    As much as I love EarthBound and Beginnings, Mother 3 was largely a disappointment. Not bad, but the dearth of good music, characters, and difficulty curve hurt it considerably.

    Cruisin' the Coast had a good turnout today. Got to see another '65 Dart GT, a '72 International 1310D, two Lincoln Mark IIIs, a '76 Olds Omega, and a tricked out 2-Door Maverick, among other things.

      Very Nice Dart!!

      Pics?  I do.  Sry,  I just saw this had a response haha...

      Also I was talking about it here a while back...(Should be Page #250)

      To be honest, I wouldn't mind owning a '75 RR.
