A mod about fighting Kaiser Kong's evil Barrel Robots!

NO AI MUSIC

-# Only songs from the internet, plus some made by wonderful people around me

#

and here are BARREL ROBOTS - my first finished custom sprite sheet!!

this mod will go bananas

This is a pretty interesting mod.

Yes!
Suno used a short sample from Comic Bakery

#

Bananawar 🍌🛢️

void mango
#

why suno ai

#

not the best move imo

people will call you out on it

clear fable
#

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)

void mango
#

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

tidal abyss
#

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 placeholdersclay_smile

#

I mean, we have MAKYUNI as one of the composers out there.

plucky oriole
#

I don't think bothering him would be a good idea

rose tangle
#

Fair enough.

rose tangle
plucky oriole
#

People mostly want money or to scam you

#

But come on, find me the human creativity who will make these songs

rose tangle
tidal abyss
#

this discussion went bananas
-# alright imma head out 🚶

wary iron
#

Do you like lyrics in vg music?

plucky oriole
#

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

wary iron
plucky oriole
#

ngl, Suno generated music has more charm with lyrics imo

#

especially when it messes up some words, or makes it sound wrong BonXD

wary iron
#

thats what exposes it being ai

plucky oriole
#

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

wary iron
#

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

plucky oriole
#

well, I tried that, the outcome was cursed BonXD

wary iron
#

what happened?

plucky oriole
#

incomprehensible gibberish

wary iron
#

never tried suno ai but i think it is forcing lyrics to generate in the song isn't it?

plucky oriole
#

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

rose tangle
#

The OSTs are neat NGL.

plucky oriole
#

you mean the ones from this mod? BonSurprised

rose tangle
#

Yea

plucky oriole
#

Well, I'm glad you say so!

#

If Suno were a thinking chatbot,
it would be thankful!

wary iron
#

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

plucky oriole
plucky oriole
rose tangle
#

Nothing we could do to them.

wary iron
#

i've never seen anybody hate on non ai music

#

well in this server

plucky oriole
#

sigh
What yu suggest to do?

wary iron
#

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

plucky oriole
#

and here's my most complex model yet,

@timid tree 's BARREL STAR!!

here's Makyuni's menace, quickly implemented before studying xD

timid tree
#

Looks awesome!
Good luck with your studies

plucky oriole
#

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
plucky oriole
#

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

plucky oriole
plucky oriole
#

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
void mango
#

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

timid tree
#

ooooo I'd love to see that :0

plucky oriole
plucky oriole
#

Here's a mockup, quickly stitched from existing SNES soundtracks

plucky oriole
plucky oriole
#

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

plucky oriole
timid tree
#

the Wario barrel 🔥

plucky oriole
cold idol
#

I'd like to try.

plucky oriole
#

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)

cold idol
#

Okay, then let's start with Level 1 track. How do you want it to sound like?

plucky oriole
cold idol
#

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.

plucky oriole
#

no no no

#

I don't like deadlines myself, so I'm not giving those!

cold idol
#

Great! Last question: how long should the track be? Around ~6 minutes, like original Comic Bakery, or shorter?

plucky oriole
#

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

cold idol
#

Got it. I'll start doing work on the track tomorrow.

plucky oriole
#

Oki!

cold idol
#

First concept. I kinda don't like it, to be honest.

plucky oriole
#

I suggest maybe slower, more laid back rhythm?

cold idol
#

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?

plucky oriole
#

yes!

#

I saw what ClayBot did to you.

plucky oriole
#

ya

rose tangle
#

I think ClayBot recognizes the link in particular.

timid tree
#

Oh just in case, you can't embed links
As in, making it so clicking a word takes you to a link and such

plucky oriole

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHHHHHHHHH BonAngry

Oh no

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
plucky oriole
#

small squid before material update:

#

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

Now the question, what could Barrel Cones look like?

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!||

#

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

BOSS RUSH LEVEL FULLY IMPLEMENTED AND WORKING

#

-# screenshot took before I found out how to end monorails

rose tangle
#

Did you set the monorail height to smth like -1000?

plucky oriole
#

no

#

just ended it

#

like it ends in Winter Mission

#

literally there's a code to end it

#

so it is possible

rose tangle
#

I didn't know that command existed, LOL.

plucky oriole
#

same xD

rose tangle
#

I haven't even checked out the Winter Mission level data file before. xd

plucky oriole
#

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

rose tangle
#

9 areas?

plucky oriole
plucky oriole
#

9 bosses in total

nocturne tapir
plucky oriole
#

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

plucky oriole
#

The arms make it difficult to make the sprite work

#

as they break the sprite's center

Then THIS BARREL CLANKER shows up

and we win xD

I'd add a bit more variety to make it a bit less repetitive, but honestly it's pretty nice 👀

(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

rose tangle
#

Ah, yes. I still remember the easter egg of it you made IRL.

plucky oriole
#

yup, it's gonna be it's... 4th anniversary xD

honestly Parallax is such a banger... I think I might try and remix it myself too, but in a far future, mayyyybe

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

nocturne tapir
plucky oriole
#

the scale's fixed

timid tree
#

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

plucky oriole
#

it seems hard coded

#

so I gotta obviously either

  • recreate the code
  • redo the model
plucky oriole
timid tree
plucky oriole
#

check the cannons in game - redo the models - render and wait - repeat

#

I'm on my 3rd round

timid tree
#

It depends if the sprite will offset towards the left or towards the right

plucky oriole
#

doing nearly perfect

timid tree
#

There we go!

#

Peak

plucky oriole
#

thankyu!

timid tree
#

Np :3

plucky oriole
timid tree
#

Maybe you could do the same to center it, vertically

#

With the height instead of width

plucky oriole
#

ya, I've changed the position of the lower cannon

#

then copied the z value of both cannons selected

#

then applied to the rest

timid tree
#

Sweet :3

plucky oriole
#

and...

#

crap

#

not wasting time to render the body for the 4th time xD

#

closerrrr

#

rendering much quicker tho

timid tree
#

very smart, ngl 👍

#

you also probably don't need the rest of frames, just the one where it's fully spread

plucky oriole
#

oh!

#

WHAAAHHHH

#

how BonCry

timid tree
#

usually that's the way I tested stuff like this for my Legacy mods haha

timid tree
#

hold on, is that the bottom or top one?

plucky oriole
#

bottom one

#

TOP ONE IS ALIGNED PERFECTLY

timid tree
#

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

timid tree
plucky oriole
#

maybe they aren't centered around the rotation line correctly

timid tree

like this

I have a feeling someone like MintLizard would make the pilot OCs for this mod.

#

-# Curious if you already have some pilot OCs in mind. 🤔

plucky oriole

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.

plucky oriole
#

but my art is

rose tangle
#

Then IDK why.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

plucky oriole
#

and ngl, it will take a while to even release a demo

#

as I'm planning to customise the level tiles too

plucky oriole
rose tangle
#

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.

plucky oriole
#

yup

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 claythumbsUp

rose tangle
#

MAXbadge It's best to limit uniformity among enemy designs.

rose tangle
#

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.

timid tree
#

Eh, ig I wouldn't mind much, as long as the enemy can be a bit more recognizable from the other hundreeds lol

rose tangle
#

On top of that, star-carrying enemies should use a different barrel paint job in addition of being chonky, as Bon intended to be.

rose tangle
timid tree
#

Maybe they should be red

rose tangle
#

According to her barrel color hierarchy, red denotes large enemies like super gunships.

Simple yet effective design element.

plucky oriole
#

same with the Red Fish

plucky oriole

#

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

rose tangle
# plucky oriole same with the Red Fish

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.

He is an owner of a diner in Mangonian Fields

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

#

Is the actual Banana got use on any weapon yet?

plucky oriole
#

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

nocturne tapir
rose tangle
#

We forgot that bananas were already stolen, so it would be jarring to defeat enemies with bananas based on that context.

plucky oriole
#

just the bananas themselves

rose tangle
#

Since they're dropped by enemies.

plucky oriole
#

true

rose tangle
#

Okay, so not as far-fetched as I have thought.

plucky oriole
#

ya

#

it makes sense that it's dropped by the enemies, as they're stealing it

will the name under the frame be enough or should I try to squeeze "art by" in?

I make frames to fit the art, not otherwise
