April Fools build of Kremling Hunting Released


So you know what would be a funny joke?  If instead of working on fleshing out Firebrand Dash into more of a game, or start learning about RPG engines, that I instead take two months to remake an old fan game I made in 2007. Only to not even have two months to work on it and not even remake a 3rd of the content from the original fan game.  Well, there's more to it than that, but yeah. Kremling Hunting Reloaded is now a thing apparently. And the worst part, I want to put more time into fleshing it out.   I did barely even touch the surface of the original. 

That'll have to be for later though, because I definitely need to take some time off from developing considering the development hell that went on behind the scenes. Words cannot describe how close I was to canceling my entire April Fools special because I had a bug right before release that made everything essentially unplayable. (Can you believe I was all set to throw all the blame on Godot, only to realize that the bug a 100% on my end?  Apparently I didn't implement the pause menu properly, so I kept clicking on the "go back to the start menu" button, even when the pause menu wasn't visible. >_> )

I've also released the source code on Github, so if people are so starving for more Donkey Kong content that they want to contribute to the game, they can.  I have no idea how branches or barely anything on Github works, but meh. It's there in case that's ever useful for anyone.

As for the why.  Every year, I try to do some sort of April Fools special over on my Youtube channel.  

Last year I did a small mod for Golden Sun. While I could do something similar this year, I wanted   and one of the ideas I was considering was making a small silly g  Also, over the course of this year, I released the old link I had for the intinal fan game was dead a long time ago.  For awhile I thought I did not have the file backed up anywhere, leaving me concern that the fan game was lost forever.  So I believe those two things combined gave me the inspiration to try and do a Kermling Hunting remake for April Fools this year, as 

TBH I'm currently conflicted to fleshing this out to have all the levels from the original fan game or to go back to working on Firebrand Dash. So, I'm not going to make any promises and just work and expand on it as I feel up to it. But at least I did finish something playable in time for the holiday.
