Digital media creative. Sometimes I glitch Donkey Kong Country games. Storyteller, Animator, Graphic Designer, Music Composer. Cartoons and goofy animal sounds make me happy.

Usually, they have been there for community contributions. I know some of the staff that was heading up the contest is no longer with PT, so it could be that it was intended but fell through the cracks? Figured I'd ask about it

@playtonicgames.com I was surprised to not see a section in the Replaylee in-game credits acknowledging the 17 Capital B Commission Contest artists. Was this an oversight? Will there be a patch? Thanks and grats on the launch ๐Ÿ‘‹ www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTC9...

I recently got to play Spyro for the first time. The Professor's pencil mission in the second game just reminded me of the Spongebob scene and made me laugh, so I'm gonna go with that! ๐Ÿ˜‚

I don't do a ton of gamedev posts but this got me particularly proud of what I was able to do.

When I was in my last quarter of uni, I alternated playing a lot of Lil' Gator Game and SNES Pilotwings to unwind... in both games I got to smash stuff!! ๐Ÿ˜‚

I'm glad you think so! I was running into coding glitches and my brain hurt from coding so drawing Sheza Kong turned into a fun brain break ๐ŸŒ(I eventually figured out the glitches and fixed them after, too)

The game can only handle 8 unique palettes at a time. When they're all used new objects have to share.

When the keg spawns, all 8 are full:

1.) Ellie & water HUD 2.) Bananas 3.) Nibbla 4.) Booty Bird 5.) Buzz 6.) Barrels 7.) Hit star gfx and 8.) Water splash

King K. Rool, with a Smash invitation in his hand, walking off and waving goodbye to Krusha and Klump.
Klump: Bye, Your Majesty!
Krusha: BYYYEEE

Krusha and Klump stare happily at their departing King, although Klump looks like his smile is forced. After a moment he becomes worried.
Klump: You think he'll be ok?
Krusha (with his arm around Klump komfortingly): Don't be silly. It's just some tournament. He's been through a lot worse!

I'd imagine that fired cannonballs would have been coded to activate the canon as a design feature (though I don't think this is used in the final game?) Looks like the code ASSUMES the fired object is always a cannonball. Maybe when this feature was coded, Kannon could only fire cannonballs...? ๐Ÿค”

Computer: It's imaginary.
