@@LetsPlayRomHacks I found it and downloaded it. :) Already recorded some levels for my channel. So in love with the game. I play the original DKC trilogy every day at Off The ChainZ Disc Golf Store.

[@phantomsan]

The hitbox needs improvements. The camera moves too fast sometimes and Rambi is like DKC1 very unstable. But it's a great hack by the way.

[@briankim1098]

[@SyraxV]

This looks awesome! I will say though maybe cut some of the redundant enemies. All 3 variants of klaptrap is kinda pointless as is having Buzzes and Zingers. Or maybe keep them on a level theme basis to prevent overlap.

[@LetsPlayRomHacks]

I think the dev did it simply to 'blend' elements of all 3 games together, which I think is cool.

[@Arloenix]

Nah I agree with this comment game looks amazing but too many enemies literally look like just cut and pasted and just too much going on and some enemies where you normally wouldn’t find them other than that game actually looks pretty decent!

[@AlanRomerojoey606]

Besides, Diddy raps, and Dixie plays guitar, now I know that Donkey plays bass, and Kiddy plays drums in this game.

[@robcotto7081]

Looks good, needs polish of course, those weird hit detection issues are annoying to see as someone who has played the original trilogy so many times would definitely notice them

[@JoeyMulvaney]

I would love a modern dkc123 remake with modern graphics. No super character gimmicks )dixie gets her spin jump, dk ground pound, baby the water hop, and diddy just being amazing( One hit per long. No hearts. Lose a kong, he runs off. Lone kong gets hit, you die. No silly gimmicks beyond what they had in the old games. The new dk country games just don't feel the same. They don't have the amazing soundtracks or polished game play. Oh yeah. Kremlings as the main villains again. NOBODY ELSE. Boom. PERFECT DKC FPR MODERN DAYS

Looks great, but seems certain errors can be seen from platform edge standing and hitbox issues. Location environment and baddies are randomly mixed not making sense to the level area like past games.

[@LetsPlayRomHacks]

Yep hitboxes aren't entirely accurate and the physics is also 'slippery' compared to the original games. Platforming was much more difficult than it looks.

This really makes me wish they did a DK version of Mario Maker. Unlimited fan levels of DKC would just be awesome.

[@YonakaKurai]

I agree

[@inceptional]

So, just to check, this runs on actual SNES? 29:28 This is such a good level for showing a few things together that really the Super Nintendo was capable of in that generation. And it's mainly because of that third layer plus colour math, alongside just the wide colour gamut that allows all the different tones of basically yellow to red. It looks lovely too.

[@LetsPlayRomHacks]

I completely agree with you the Devs did a great job with the design and blending elements from all 3 games together. The demo/game itself runs on an executable program and not SNES but I'm sure the devs could get it to work on an actual ROM but right now the game is proof of concept. Unfortunately it has been in this demo state for years without any progress.

[@LetsPlayRomHacks]

Also one thing to note that's not very clear in the video, the 'physics' are not the same and feel more slippery than the original SNES games. This made the game play a lot harder.

[@inceptional]

[@ByungSuk]

I absolutely love the work you did. This is a fantastic effort. And I want to see more. But I will say that your level design doesn't have the same kind of constant flow and rhythm as the originals. And I would say your difficulty settings with enemy placement is inconsistent from a game that's at the beginning stages. You want to be able to ease the player into the mechanics regardless of how familiar they are with a franchise.

Fan Games, especially big ones, take a LONG time to finish. after all, you have to understand that Modders are doing projects such as these out of love and passion, they arent getting paid for their time and thus have to work their 9 to 5 jobs before working on said projects, so they may have a few hours at best to work on it each day.

It's simply fantastic! That's the game from my childhood. ❤😊 Is there available link for downloading this demo version anywhere? I really hope someone will create full 4. part of the game in the future, finally. ❤

[@wesltall1]

Only about 10 minutes or so into the gameplay and I can see that something is off about the hitboxes. It's like they feel too big or something. I see that you've already mentioned something previously about the physics being different, so I won't say anything here, but I did take note of the fact while watching.

[@LetsPlayRomHacks]

Yes definitely the hitboxes are off on some enemies. You can see I lost a life in the second stage to a snake that looked like I should have hit it instead. The physics and movement feels slippery compared to the original games and made platforming difficult. I'm sure everything could be fixed with updates but unfortunately the game has been in this demo state for years.

[@MacSDev-Official]

Thanks for this i always wanted to see it. In my case i love DK 1 but not 2 or 3 because a DK game without DK is stupid, like Mario Bros game without Mario, they should name it ''Diddy Kong Country'' like Jack and Daxter did with Daxter game in PSP. So yes, this is great, and they never did the return of DK in country, only the returns remaster but is not the same xD

[@Zack29810]

I really wanna play this one day but every time I check up on it, it's still unfinished. such a bummer. to anyone working on this, please finish it. so many of us are itching to play this.

Yeah I couldn't beat that spider boss the rocks are too random and not enough room to react in time to dodge and the movement is slippery in the game.

[@DrDrystal]

it looks good! Sadly the boss doesn't fit at all design wise. Way to realistic.

I agree! It's also way more difficult than it looks. The falling rocks are too unpredictable and hard to avoid.

[@amunx1]

The game is not too bad. In fact I can see the creators are familiar with the playstyle of DKC enough and considering this is a PC game and not a romhack, it looks just as good as a real SNES one. However, if you call this DKC4, i can understand people's criticism, you set the bar too high, and your fan creation is going to be in direct comparison to the SNES trilogy, considered to be masterpieces (the first 2 at least). So there's that. Hopefully it gets refined and finished in the future.

There’s something off about the kong mechanic, it reminds me too much of Sonic fan-games to be seen in a better light.
