First gameplay with Callisto!
Two EXPURT pilots get their rumps kicked, by the Extreme Mode.
With Callisto as the first player!
THIS MOD FEATURES AI GENERATED SONGS
AND IS COMPLETELY NON-PROFIT.
The music used in this mod was created with Suno AI, using short excerpts from existing soundtracks as samples
Audio credits:
– Original Platypus soundtrack: all rights belong to...
and here are BARREL ROBOTS - my first finished custom sprite sheet!!
did you make a model of barrel robot using blender program?
bro what are those lyrics
Donkey kong music prehaps
Yes! Rendering 9 frames took surprisingly long time
Mostly songs telling more lore about each level, keeping silly vibes.
this mod will go bananas
This is a pretty interesting mod.
-# Altho will it be a semi-conversion mod?
-# ya, I mostly a reskin
I see.
I think this might be the first time I heard vocals in a Platypus mod.
Test:
- Barrel Saucer sprites
- Barrel Un sprites
- Level 1, Title translated to English
this was done BEFORE the brown debris were fixed
Lol, I was about to point that out. :p
Barrel Squid
🛢️🦑
Test:
- Barrel Fish sprites!!
-# 64 individual renders
Is this a comic bakery song theme???
Yes!
Suno used a short sample from Comic Bakery
Bananawar 🍌🛢️
at first AI music creating seems like a silly little novelty, but once you peel back the layers... the true evil hides within
everyone hates AI... because they are AFRAID of it
(okay maybe I'm overthinking this)
They dislike ai because its soulless slop and lacks the creativity that us humans have
this is why human-made stuff is better, because its made with creativity
i mean, they're probably using suno ai for funsies and they didn't take the credit for making the musics and didn't make it for profit (as it is an ai - made product)
-# hopefully the musics are just placeholders
Why?
I'm being honest,
I do not own ANYTHING that Suno generates. It's the tool's work.
I am not trying to gain profit from the mod, it's for funnies.
sigh
Then find me someone who would like to make soundtrack for my mod...
Well, if no one shows up to make the songs themselves, I will just probably revert to original soundtrack, while keeping AI versions for myself.
-# see? Easier said than done. No one wants to do this stuff. And I really don't have to be great at everything at once, I'm a modeller!
I mean, we have MAKYUNI as one of the composers out there.
I don't think bothering him would be a good idea
Fair enough.
Meanwhile, I am both a Claymatic wiki editor and a Platypus modder.
-# I very much enjoy doing level design, even if time consuming.
This reminds me of something.
You see, I once needed an asset for my VRChat avatar. So I paid a creative human to make it for me. But they never helped and even tried to make me send them my work so they could steal it. Pure human. Then ChatGPT helped me make the asset myself
People mostly want money or to scam you
But come on, find me the human creativity who will make these songs
To anyone else, let's face it:
Humans aren't always the good ones, and AI isn't always the bad one either. They can sometimes do the opposite of what everyone else thinks.
What BonnieDxOwl stated is an example of what I am pointing out.
this discussion went bananas
-# alright imma head out 🚶
Do you like lyrics in vg music?
to be honest, I usually prefer vg music without the lyrics, as most of the game osts I like don't have one, but here I decided to tell Suno to include lyrics
fun fact,
music was actually first, before the mod idea came to my mind
That nasty thing
is there a reason why you exceptionally decided to include lyrics to suno music?
for funnies, to see what Suno would come up with
ngl, Suno generated music has more charm with lyrics imo
especially when it messes up some words, or makes it sound wrong 
thats what exposes it being ai
yeah
because it is AI
I'm not gonna hide the fact, this is made by AI and I don't own the generated songs
and the mod is non-profit as you already know
i actually like the songs (though not the fact its ai generated) i think it would be better to have the lyrics removed or at least replace it with an instrument
well, I tried that, the outcome was cursed 
what happened?
incomprehensible gibberish
never tried suno ai but i think it is forcing lyrics to generate in the song isn't it?
well, not really
if you don't tell it to make lyrics, it wont
but when I tried turning song with lyrics into song without lyrics, that's where it malfunctions
The OSTs are neat NGL.
you mean the ones from this mod? 
Yea
maybe you should just remake the song without the lyrics because it doesn't sounds bad
but i'm not gonna ask you to really do it because its still ai and people aren't going to like it that much
well, I kinda dunno how to do it without changing the overall melody
AI or not, haters gonna hate anyway,
Nothing we could do to them.
sigh
What yu suggest to do?
whatever you think is best for your mod, and besides i don't wanna waste your time making music out of ai just for it to be trashed
and here's my most complex model yet,
@timid tree 's BARREL STAR!!
-# sorry if I disturbed with a ping 
Sik
Thank yu! 
Nah dw :D
Peak!!
Love it
I'm so glad, thankyu!! 
I probably wouldn't mind if its gun barrels do not fit the size of their large accelerator bullets fired. :3

-# totally forgot about that 
Well, up to you if you want the turret to be more realistic logic-wise.
Np :D
If the barrels are indeed too small, I'll probably do K.Rool's blunderbuss treatment
Looks awesome!
Good luck with your studies
What was done today?
- fixed some materials
- sprite for Red Un is done
I plan to finalise implementing English soundtrack, redo the barrel fish, finish the barrel star
TIC MINIBOSS
Idea for colour schemes:
- main enemies: average barrel brown
- big enemies: reddish barrel brown
- minibosses: you'll see
- bosses: greenish barrel brown
- special item enemies: I dunno yet
Gunship
Progress for today:
- implemented all Tick sprites
-# all variants - Miniboss Un
- Miniboss Tick
- Miniboss Squid
Minibosses to be done:
- Miniboss Starfish
- The Minelayer
- Miniboss Spinner
-# and I don't remember more
If i were to compose music for this, i'll definitely make it covers of DKC SNES songs (with my own little flair) because i feel like its only fitting for a dk-themed mod to have dk-esque music
ooooo I'd love to see that :0
Interesting idea, could you try composing one track?
Stiched up soundtrack from
Donkey Kong Country 2
Super Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back
Here's a mockup, quickly stitched from existing SNES soundtracks
Today's progress:
- Barrel Gunship
- Barrel Goldfish
- Nearly all tracks implemented with the English versions
I'm running out of models to render
I'll have to go back to modelling!
Probably will continue the enemies like missile ship, Gunship mk. II
Or maybe a boss
TEASER
the Wario barrel 🔥
then feel free to do so! Let's start with a single track, so choose which track would you like to compose! (like level1 for example)
Okay, then let's start with Level 1 track. How do you want it to sound like?
Hmm, the idea I had is that the level 1 is a steppe, with Gauls-like folk (like the ones from Asterix and Obelix comics)
So there could be some rural / traditional instruments as an extra
Based on comic bakery
Ooh, interesting! I wanted to try my hand at folk music for some time.
One important question: is there any deadline? I'm asking because I'm fairly slow and have personal other stuff.
Great! Last question: how long should the track be? Around ~6 minutes, like original Comic Bakery, or shorter?
I usually prefer 2 minutes max. per one music track
The only music that I don't mind being longer are the ones with lyrics
Got it. I'll start doing work on the track tomorrow.
Oki!
First concept. I kinda don't like it, to be honest.
Sounds pretty neat imo, but maybe you can try with something new
I suggest maybe slower, more laid back rhythm?
Yeah, I'll write something new with lower BPM. Also, I guess it's okay to use modern-sounding instruments with a few folk-ish ones?
yes!
ts sounds FIRE
I saw what ClayBot did to you.
ya
I think ClayBot recognizes the link in particular.
Oh just in case, you can't embed links
As in, making it so clicking a word takes you to a link and such
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHHHHHHHHH 
Oh no
LMAO 😭
The ClayBot prophecy is real! 
He got muted 😭
Here's a showcase of a Platypus mod I'm currently working on!
It will feature a story of a great defence of the Peaceful Land of Mangonia against evil Barrel Robots, led by greedy Kaiser Kong!

Now that makes three of us, regarding the "No spamming!" toast.
Sillytuna promised to nerf ClayBot's false warnings, but to no avail. 
this guy looks fucking cool holy shit
Thank you! Took me 5-4 evenings to model and render! 
BTW, I still know your original message, LMAO. :p
no you didn't
Guess you're right. :p
-# I was schizophrenic at the time.
Sky Barrel Serpent

I've been experimenting in BandLab
https://www.bandlab.com/feed/for-you
-# basically, a music maker app, where you can build music from scratch
Offtopic...
...but ever heard of Kommie Kong?
not really, but I like the design!
KAISER KONG APPROVES
-# Twice in fact. :p

Deep in KaiserKongoPolis, an evil force whispers...
tireddd... 
Today's progress:
- fixes to the squids' bottom parts (mostly fixed)
- Big Squids
- Custom Audio for the DLC levels
- missing turret fixes
- updated small Squids
great upgrade
Light / emissive things are always a bit hard to set up on blender haha
they tend to look too bright in most cases, losing all the color
is this the pink goldfish 
Lol, not to be confused with one from Casinopolis. :p
small goldfish for comparison
xD
tbh, when I saw them in Winter Mission I had like: "hold up, I've seen that before"
whatcha think?
barrels stacked on top like a wedding cake with some ropes
BEHOLD KAISER KONG'S MOST EVIL MACHINE YET
And if anyone wants to know about the process of making K.A.O.S, here it is!
I'll set it as spoilers, watch the vid first!!
||Here's model of KAOS, originally featuring an arm as the gun||
||Fun fact: He was meant to be close replacement to Death boss, but I had to scrap that idea and set the Pink Squid as a base! Hence the arm removal.||
||How did I make the animated screen on his chest? Check this out! The top has an empty space, and the bottom features the screen visuals!||
||Which was modeled on a cylinder||
||He was going to have a helmet, but I decided to reuse a head from one of my VRChat models I made!||
holy shit its kaos from donkey kong coutnry 3
THRUSTER BARREL
-# BARREL KROC
IK it's a submarine reskin. :3
or is it? 
Hehehe 
Or maybe it's him
spoopy
I think this one should be the final version!
@timid tree as the best music artist around Platypus, whatcha think about this?
👁️
the WHAT?! 👁️ 👄 👁️
Thanks for considering me btw lol
I'm listening to it rn
honestly the last version I heard sounded a bit repetitive, but I think you adding the Krool and other DKC motifs fixed that greatly 🔥
so yeah, I think this version is really nice 👀
maybe a bit short, but we'll have to see that when we see it used in full-level gameplay
Thank yu!! 
Fun fact: It's actually longer than the track I was covering!
-# that being Boss theme from Angry Birds Star Wars
Design by Callisto, my bro!
CALLISTO'S SHIP
Ooh...
Dk as the kong pilot
ROC
BOSS RUSH LEVEL FULLY IMPLEMENTED AND WORKING
-# screenshot took before I found out how to end monorails
Did you set the monorail height to smth like -1000?
no
just ended it
like it ends in Winter Mission
literally there's a code to end it
so it is possible
I didn't know that command existed, LOL.
same xD
I haven't even checked out the Winter Mission level data file before. xd
though I'm thinking about adding some weapon pods between areas
POD
- area 1
- area 2
POD - area 3
- area 4
POD - area 5
- area 6
POD - area 7
- area 8
POD - area 9
I'd also implement 3 safes to appear in one "POD" time
9 areas?
because a lot of times me and Callisto tend to accidentally shoot down the 2nd crate, resulting in only one of us having weapon pods xD
this turned out to be a banger to me and Callisto
so when I ask Callisto to help designing the enemies, he says "make a barrel Siegebert"
at first, I thought "nae, that's silly and unfitting"
BARREL SIEGEBERT
The arms make it difficult to make the sprite work
as they break the sprite's center
So for now
I covered this song in Bandlab!
after some tweaks
@timid tree check this out 
Me and Callisto enjoying Winter Mission
Then THIS BARREL CLANKER shows up
and we win xD
-# how many times we died xDD
-# the credits are F6'd btw
I'd add a bit more variety to make it a bit less repetitive, but honestly it's pretty nice 👀
oooh 
elaborate! 
thankyuuu!
-# well, the og was kinda repetitive like that too I think
but but but but!
I wanna knowww
-# it's past 11 pm, I gotta wake up at 6 am tomorrow, but one more render left to finish the final boss sprites LET'S GOOOO
well that's all I had to say tbh, that it's a bit repetitive xD
but yeah! the original is also like that, so fair enough lol

It's a WIP cover of Parallax, by Callisto!
@timid tree
Sorry I'll be a bit offline for a while but I'll come back to this whenever I'm back
I'm ok, no worries, just life matters
oki, I hope you're alright!
No worries
I just need to take some time off, that's all
I'll still talk from time to time but probably a bit less for a week or more
okii 
In the meantime, here's slightly longer version of Barrel Siegebert!
-# accidentally 2 times longer
I have a problem
You see, this robot will have claws
But I don't want it to have small details
It has to be a fast ship model, since there are prolly no mentions of it here until now.
AYO HERE'S ANOTHER VERSION
Barrel Pink!
-# complete sprite sheet
Ey, underrated pearl here
BARREL-... I dunno
Submarine. :p
And here's this fella
According to @plucky oriole
So, will super gunships, big squids, red big uns, etc. be red colored?
yes
funny enough, all ships you mentioned here are already made
and in red
BARREL OH-CRANT
Missile Gunship. :3
YES
(the name actually is from this exact screen, but in my local language)
I've modified it to make it sound the same in all languages
Also, 4 guns are a reference to my easter egg
Ah, yes. I still remember the easter egg of it you made IRL.
yup, it's gonna be it's... 4th anniversary xD
Nice coincidence. :0
on Easter of course
yu know, making ships has become much faster
-# maybe that's because I have tons of parts I can copy from other ships
True AF

Barrel K. Rool
the name's being voted on, feel free to vote
Homing Barrel
O'CRANT 
Flying Sub = King Kruizer V

A successor to the previous two
Sub-Barrel!
Ye beat me to it
||Kruzier||
Less a peashooter, more
KROCC
Barrel Kremling
xD Shockwave
Revised transport truck much?
yup
-# wait, you don't mean that those two are the same?
Yeah, I mean they are of similar size.
Tho on expert and above, there is a large mounted double turret on each truck.
Does the warcannon truck have a different model to the turret one?
I forgot that one
These look sick already <3
aww thankyu! 
this one might give away that this one have the cannon on top of it
the thing that shoot out 5 spread bullets upward
and I strongly encourage you to listen, my bro cooked!
-# especially @timid tree
LOL I was listening to it in another channel
honestly it's sounding really awesome
only thing I think it could use is some percussion, but it depends on what it'll be used for, tbh
honestly Parallax is such a banger... I think I might try and remix it myself too, but in a far future, mayyyybe
I'm glad you like it! I've just told him that 
in the meantime, here's another vehicle for you to guess!
here's flip plane 
hmmm
large batoid?
(big pink ship)
or minelayer... not sure tbh haha
cool!!
thankyuu! 
Question
Is it still in wip?
well, yeah!
ayyyyy
KAISER KONG, OUR LORD AND KING, HIS STRENGTH DIVINE, OUR HEAVENLY STRING, DESTROY IT ALL, LET THE WORLD IGNITE, BARREL BOTS CHARGE, MARCH ON AND FIGHT
kaiser king the mighty kong
We tip the barrels
Some issue-solving thought process
-# Sprites seem to be displayed in 1/2 of their size
-# the small turrets I made should be 0.7 their size to match the picture
Barrel plane 🔥
the scale's fixed
I think you can offset them a bit too, but you'd have to mess with the code a bit
Nah actually it might be too complicated lol
I think you can simply make the model's width larger, but it depends
ya, I am
check the cannons in game - redo the models - render and wait - repeat
I'm on my 3rd round
It depends if the sprite will offset towards the left or towards the right
doing nearly perfect
thankyu!
Np :3
Maybe you could do the same to center it, vertically
With the height instead of width
ya, I've changed the position of the lower cannon
then copied the z value of both cannons selected
then applied to the rest
Sweet :3
and...
crap
not wasting time to render the body for the 4th time xD
closerrrr
rendering much quicker tho
very smart, ngl 👍
you also probably don't need the rest of frames, just the one where it's fully spread
usually that's the way I tested stuff like this for my Legacy mods haha
hmmm
maybe if no solution works, you could try scaling down the sprite a bit
not sure if it'd work tho, but it's worth a try
or maybe scaling up the ship, and moving the bottom turret a bit lower, in the ship sprite
maybe they aren't centered around the rotation line correctly
like this
hmm that could be the case too!
I know, I know :,)
can't see much of the difference between these, so IG any of these 6 ones should be fine 👍
so yeah, I'm happy 
GG, you've defeated the hardest Platypus Reclayed boss:
Hardcoded stuff
Here's something before I go to sleep
You know who it is
And who's claws?
KING K. ROOL!
The big daddy of evil
Sandbox mode be like
Done in Hard mode

If anyone's looking for the source of Barrel Minelayer's theme
Remix of music from old game made by Sensible Software. Original composer: Martin Galway; remix composer: Markus Siebold
Download the mp3 from remix.kwed.org: http://remix.kwed.org/?search_id=1811
The boss theme is a midi I found on the internet (I think it was khinsider)
I changed the instruments, and changed the melody a bit.
I've decided to connect some parts, as that's how I imagine him to be clayed
though I'm considering making some humanoid robots that are basically the brain of the ships
Parachuter sprites perhaps?
yup
https://youtu.be/KWQ34SGBtVU?si=Jv-KvBuWVekPzBSO Cyborg kritter
GL setting up the dish sprite if that's the case. :P
Thanks, it shouldn't be hard
I can assign the dish as a turret and make an animation to loop
while the rest of the ship is on it's own
I have a feeling someone like MintLizard would make the pilot OCs for this mod.
:3
-# Curious if you already have some pilot OCs in mind. 🤔
I'd love to!
but barely anyone draws / creates anything related to Bananawar
@ocean pulsar drew a wonderful Barrel Ray
and @hasty anchor made an amazing Barrel Gunship Mk. II
To be fair, the playable mod is not even publicly available at the moment.
but my art is
and ngl, it will take a while to even release a demo
as I'm planning to customise the level tiles too
though I have 2 OCs planned and partially implemented
And on a similar note, Casinopolis is also a relatively new mod (started development on late September IIRC) among the Platypus community, and as a result, fan art is limited. AFAIK, only AdamComet drew some Casinopolis-themed art.
yup
and of course, Callisto and I made a lot of art
mostly concept art
Only to materialize in Blender. 😎
and as a piece of this mod's development history
but yeah, that doesn't seem like happening anytime soon if ever
One thing's for sure...
Only time can tell. ;)

Priceless... 
Thats not kritter that's just swampy
Ayy
Red saucer
It has a big container as it provides power-ups
Curious if you have plans for the announcer voice in mind, even if your announcer setting is turned off normally.
hmmm
Red Fish
Another one with a container
do you have any ideas?
No, since I initially thought you yourself would be the one to conceptualize it.
hmm
slightly redone Elite Barrel Tick
Crazy
Bananawar 🍌🛢️[WIP]
Now it's constantly smooth.

basically Bananawar is a Donkey Kong-ified version of Platypus
kinda I guess?
Refreshed Tick
Mostly fixed UV map
and the projectiles are coloured in Paint.net, rather than in windows built-in photo editor
Me present to yuu:
Barrel Walker
-# coded by @rose tangle 
and Barrel Zap
-# coded under the guidance of @pseudo rain
Thank you both so much! 
I see what you did with the presentation. :p
-# First time seeing your emoji with a tongue, LOL.
Creative enemy!
For sure. :D
That's my own design of ground enemy art!
I like it
Guess we made a spiritual successor of your enemy design concept then. 🫡
Oh ya, the lightning saucers are WIP.
Refreshed Kaiser Kong
Hail, to me.
DK: Angry DK Noises
is Kaiser working for K. Rool
or is K. Rool using him?
...or is KAISER using K. Rool?
Put MatPat on the phone!
Barrel Trashcan fully done
fan concept / idea / suggestion
imo it'd make the design more interesting, tho you're free to discard the idea if you don't like it 
It's best to limit uniformity among enemy designs.
And I'd agree with this.
I think the barrel color hierarchy should stay, since at least it communicates what type of enemy it is, be it regular, large, miniboss, or boss.
Eh, ig I wouldn't mind much, as long as the enemy can be a bit more recognizable from the other hundreeds lol
On top of that, star-carrying enemies should use a different barrel paint job in addition of being chonky, as Bon intended to be.
I mean, I like how chonky they are, but they could use some more vibrant paint job.
Maybe they should be red
According to her barrel color hierarchy, red denotes large enemies like super gunships.
What abt orange?
on one hand, I like this design! it indeed adds some variety
but on the other hand, the cannon itself kinda doesn't fit Barrel Robots as a whole
Would this work?
same with the Red Fish
thankyu!

how do you do with the star sign on it then? to make it stand out ofc.
yellow glowing star should be enough to give away the orange one from the normal one
As for orangeFish entitiy, perhaps add more star signs on top and bottom parts, since if ever it flies straight up or down, its side star signs become sort of concealed.
good idea
tbh, I was considering using Yellow Player material for the stars
by the way by the way
I'm so glad you share your ideas 
Pamtheon of clastropolis
I'm tired, but it was worth it
love it!
did you make the regular big squid design, or not yet?
Maybe you could use the previous one for that one
and maybe make some slight variations for the pink squid
well, the big squids are just normal squids but red
and the pink squid is it's own thing
old screenshot
and here's the pink squid
Thankies! 
Hehehehe I'm gonna throw bananas at u!
He’s riding on the ship!!
Looks like the final boss entity.
-# smol teaser
Barrel Quadrapus, as controlled by Kaiser Kong. 
Hmm, I assume the cockpit is semi-transparent, so Kaiser Kong can be seen onscreen.
BIG TEASER
Oh, I was right about that.
-# Sort of.
During the damage phases he would get angry overtime
"You Filthy Apes! It's gonna take me forever to fix this!"
Man I'm good with ideas
that's wonderful! 
"i ain't apes! im platypus >:3"
Crap.
What the Cra-
That face XD
Neat-o
thankyu!
Feel free to suggest more ideas!
as for now, those two are made thanks to your idea!

Red and yellow ticks should be visually distinct from one another.
Here's a character from my mod
Bom Br'Bom
Designed by Callisto
He is an owner of a diner in Mangonian Fields
The place is run by him and his wife
Many traditional dishes are served there,
The diner's special dish? Mango Pie
Bom is a warm and kind person,
unlike anyone else in Mangonia, he stays positive and focused even when he's drunk
Siiick
Thankyuu! 
Cranky Kong: "Eh Wallace And Gromit was too old from the clay animation"
Cal
Designed by Callisto
Rookie pilot with some experience
Lives in Mangonia, though he was born in the Land of Joogly Woogly Jungle, before it was taken over and became KaiserKongoPolis
Regular?
not sure to be honest
Me nethier
Nice Bronx lightning turret sprites. 
Bronx is what MintLizard refers to the PSP Mine Layer.
thankyu! 
xD
Another version by Callisto!
@timid tree
that definitely sounds sicker
Barrel Siegebert Refreshed
the hands will act as turrets
BARREL SIEGEBERT DONE
Thanks to @rose tangle for sharing the code for Clam turrets and bullets
WAR
Mango War Kong

Bonnie Tinbeak!
The feathered aviation
Welp, I knew you'd eventually insert your main character to Bananawar. :p
I think I'm burnt out
Before I take a break, here are some renders of the characters, separately
So you'll be taking a break developing Bananawar altogether?
Even if it means ceasing to make more blender models.
Don't worry, I'll return to working on it later
Okay then, so which in particular will you focus on?
Either in making my custom Minecraft mod with a friend
or I'll resume proper work on DKC4
haven't been up to date much... what changed on their design?
were the red thingies in a lower position before?
Nice change in bullet color.
thankyu!
well, the small squid sprites just got remade
A side by side comparison wouldn't hurt YK? <:3
aaa sure!
Here's Mangonian Castle
well, the name has been set some time ago, but yeah, it's Mangonia 
@timid tree
Here's a comparison!
Old
New
Barrel Krock's theme
-# this one is a midi from khinsider, modified
-# this one is made from scratch by moi, only guided by these videos of midi playing
Did I juse see a custom homing missile sprite? :0
Ooo, I thought the head is gonna come out
If you remember, that was my original idea
But to be honest?
It was kinda boring, so the whole K. Kruiser is there
Me needs INDUSTRIAL level ideas, visual-wise.
I think you could get inspiration from DKC factory levels 👀
It'd be a cool reference imo
Plus, this mod pretty much pays homage to DKC from the get go anyway.
ayo, me found a shadow material in the BlendMyShips!
tbh, I thought this would be way harder 
The upper pins are rigged to follow the wheel pin, using Damped Track
Finally done
Absolute cinema
Btw, may I suggest making the turrets' fire sprites have a red light instead of a green one?
thankyu!
OH WAIT ME FORGOT I CHANGED THE COLORS
I also need ideas for other turrets, starfishes, double gunships
two eyes

ok jokes aside uhm
maybe for Starfish it could be a helm (?
idk, just a random idea
this
double turret could be sth like this, maybe
coding and all shield-related sprites made by @rose tangle , thankyu! 
Thankyuu! 
Heya, just curious who voiced some of the sound effects such as "rocket!"

@plucky oriole I just had what I think might be a brilliant idea for the mod
these instead of Stars 👀
Hai @timid tree
I like it!!
Peak
6-sided Starfishes?
Peak
@somber quartz Could you pin this please? It seems I'm unable to do so
I'll be redoing Fish animation to be even more fluid

Kaiserpent homers

-# I was planning to show more, but there's a lot to be fixed/polished

thanks! 
Callisto already has his ship made 
Oh yeah, I forgot about Callisto's ship in a moment, LMFAO

Looks like Bom's ship does mirror the Plover.
real
Here are 3 vanilla ships
- B-116 Appel - Small fighter equipped with strong shield and light guns
- R-131 Mangon - Standard Mangonian aircraft
- A-214 Banan - Vehicle equipped with strong guns
here's Bom's ship,
the Sky Diner
'cause why not serve food mid-battle? why not fight with it?

so yeah, 6 player ships are modelled
Nice.
What inspired you to have 3 extra ships?
well, mostly that I wanted to give Callisto his own ship
I see.
there will be one more player model
which will be related to literally the first thing I ever modelled in 3D
The one you first sent in the server?
nope, even longer time ago
blender donut tutorial ship confirmed⁉️🤯

Rookie
A barrel Kondor
Barrel Bug
Too detailed for a small dragon-like bug if that were the case.
new enemy perhaps
Kaiser Decoy
@timid tree
I saw it and I love it! 👀
Here's a teaser for the upcoming progress update
APPLE, BANANA, AND MANGO!
bananas
OH BANANA!
mangos phonk
🍌
** BEHOLD **
Let's see:
Default/Autofire - ✅
Wideshot/Tailgun - ✅
Pulse - modelled
Rockets - ✅
Lightning - planned
Fire - ✅
Homing - ✅
Bomb - ✅
Donut - ✅
Beans - ✅
Hearts - planned
Riceballs - ✅
Pretzels -
FISH - ✅
Hot Dogs - ✅
Burgirs - planned
Cheese - planned
IIRC, riceballs became snowballs in this mod.
And then the beans, kannonballs.
Am I right?
IDK what is the reskin for the donut tho.
Onion Rings
Wait, I now think kannonballs reskin donuts.
Hotdogs = Baguette
I don't think Bananawar will have that much food weapons, judging by this.
But Bom as a playable character exists, whose gimmick is about food.
Suggestion by @nocturne tapir
Is it bomb was suppose to be Bowling Ball right?
well, yeah - Kannonball
You can do the same with fish ngl.
Damn. 
@plucky oriole
well, banana birds exist
I thought cannon ball would be fired like normal.
But instead dropped.
I think fish could be Banana
-# og render is too creepy, here you got Happrcrumble's art
So pretzels, fish, hotdogs, and cheese are the only ones you need ideas for rn.
ya
Is this already being considered?
maybe, but you can suggest your idea
Trying to browse for some DKC items, and found this.
I wonder if the player rockets look like this.
they can
Is the actual Banana got use on any weapon yet?
well, not
like the usual default banana
though I don't think it will be used, as the bananas are the thing that gets stolen by Kaiser Kong
I see.
-# I would've been a pretzel bullet <:3
We forgot that bananas were already stolen, so it would be jarring to defeat enemies with bananas based on that context.
just the bananas themselves
Unless, it's from a star itself ofc.
Since they're dropped by enemies.
true
Okay, so not as far-fetched as I have thought.
ya
it makes sense that it's dropped by the enemies, as they're stealing it
ngl, making many particles is exhausting (maybe having to write every rotation and position value per sprite is)
done, with a twist
we are so back 🔥
It's nice that all of them are now either complete or planned.
I just need an idea for hotdogs preztels
I wonder which weapon is reskinned as fully peeled banana?
If not, maybe that could be for hotdogs, or idk.
gahhhh I meant pretzels
Banana Pretzel?
xD I remind you that the bananas are mostly stolen
But those stolen bananas are constantly being retrieved mid-game. ;p
plus pretzel can be obtainable very late level i reckon
-# hmmm pretzel with banana topping HMMMMMMMMMM.........
Thankfully not King K rool this time
all pick-able items are done
(Misc/bonus fruit)
OH BANANA!
"Why would someone make a good idea to make a game with a ton of clay eh?" - Cranky Kong
Art is needed!
I'm gonna make a tileset featuring various artwork (Bananawar, Claymatic server people or Platypus related)
Every art is welcome, especially traditional
Credits will be given
-# gotta mention, that I need the name and permission of the creator (if it's not the person uploading)
WAIT FOR ME >:3
Yeoman “Platypus” Plasticino ~ Art of CLETTUCE’s Platypus old pilot
(You can credit me now)
Thanks! Your name will be on the frame with this art
Hold on, one of the levels will have an art gallery?
yes
Interesting...
MINEFIELD DEPLOYMENT
@plucky oriole
Well done! 
Your name will be on the it's frame 
he agreed, ya?
Yep.
Hmm
I have an old art I made
Ey, I got a question to those who submitted / are gonna submit art
will the name under the frame be enough or should I try to squeeze "art by" in?
I personally think just the name is ok
Btw does the art need to be in a square shape?
Or can it be rectangular?
Sweet :3
Just wanted to make sure hehe
Either way I tend to do squares, so if I make one, it might be like that 
We'll see lol
all I can say is that I'll try to fit all of them in 1000x1000px each
Sounds good :3
Yeh there has to be a limit lol
