Air Riders rightfully killed many people’s passion for this franchise. One can only be denied the appearance of their favorite character so many times before they’re defeated, and Kirby is one of the worst franchises when it comes to handling its extended cast. Air Riders, a party game which should’ve had *many* characters, many *returning* characters, was the final nail in a long-prepared coffin.

I am curious as to how much of the Kirby fanbase has ever played any of HAL Laboratory's non-Kirby/Smash works.

How many of you reading this have played the likes of BoxBoy, Part Time UFO, Balloon Fight, Mach Rider, Eggerland, Arcana, Air Fortress, Pokémon Snap, Alcahest, Metal Slader Glory, or HyperZone?

Part Time UFO, Box Boy, Balloon Fight, Eggerland, and Pokemon Snap are the ones I've checked out, do wanna get around to Alcahest and Arcana at some point though, they seem pretty neat, just haven't had the time.

>>558761345
I played Pokemon Snap like 20 years ago.

What would you like to see if the Mario movie people they got to deal with managed to get to a Kirby movie? Personally I think it's so not be Kirby's first rodeo as they say and There will be occasional heads for most of the film that does some sort of history with King DDD before we get a flashback dad he was the original Kirby bad guy but that's many years and a pass he rather not do again behind him?

Yeah having it not be a retelling of dreamland 1 would be a good idea, dedede should still be a rival though and help fight the BBEG (hopefully not nightmare because it's been done before so a different antagonist would be preferable) they need to drive home that point that dedede is not an antagonist.

at the very least they do need to make Kirby's origin vague

someone should make le spooki VHS advertisements for wonderia park.

Read an idea that the bosses you see in Air Riders were made by NOVA specifically because they're Kirby's most hated or despised foes, in order to further deter Kirby from another Heart of Nova assault, which makes it really fucking funny that Marx of all people is in the lineup because I almost assumed Magolor's betrayal was worse for Kirby than Marx's

>>558950831
given they have a digital aspect to them, yeah but in marx's case it seems to be a case of mind control maybe since that's how you unlock him.

I'm making a Kirby fanfiction with an AI. Here is what it says about how to ask for some advice for it.
I’m writing a Kirby crossover fanfiction where the main heroes from the video games accidentally warp into the world of the Kirby: Right Back at Ya! TV show.

It takes place after the TV show’s ending, with the N.M.E. Sales Guy still alive and living in Cappy Town. The four game characters who arrive are Game Kirby, Game King Dedede, Game Meta Knight, and Bandana Waddle Dee.

The story explores the contrast between the two universes — the more mythic, battle-hardened game characters meeting the lighter, comedic TV versions of themselves.

Some key elements I’m working with:

Game Kirby is still young but much more mature and skilled than TV Kirby, and he starts teaching the baby-TV version basic combat and non-copy techniques.

Game Dedede is a flawed but genuine hero now, and he’s horrified by how petty and incompetent TV Dedede is. I want him to push TV Dedede to grow, especially since Game Dedede has been possessed before and knows how to resist darkness.

Bandana Waddle Dee shocks the TV world by being articulate, skilled, and respected — which starts changing how the TV Waddle Dees see themselves.

Chef Kawasaki was originally a good cooking-school graduate, so in my story he’s only a bad cook because TV Dedede forced him to use terrible ingredients. The game characters help him rediscover his real talent.

Dark Matter is leaking into the TV world through the dimensional rift, and I’m planning to introduce a TV‑world version of Gooey who is silly and harmless like his game counterpart.

I’d love advice on:

how to keep the character interactions believable

how to escalate the Dark Matter threat

how to develop TV Dedede’s growth arc

how to introduce Gooey in a fun but meaningful way

Any feedback or ideas are welcome!

Sloppers require the rope is what I feel

TOO MUCH KIRBY? KEK THAT WAS SUCH A MEME

>>558950831
Genuinely if there’s one person Kirby despises it’d be Marx, I’ll never understand the notion that Kirby and Marx actually like each other
Marx at best butters up to Kirby when it’s convenient and then drops him like a sack of bricks whenever the chance presents itself

Probably found Kirby some good place to eat and Kirbo thought it was a sign of penance as both are extremely hungry hyper violent creatures.

>>558950831
>I almost assumed Magolor's betrayal was worse for Kirby than Marx's
I think Magolor's the only character Kirby's gotten officially mad at in the novels, but then again, I'm not sure Marx has shown up as an antagonist in them, has he?

>>559013985
Marx has yet to appear in any of those. I think the only time Marx has appeared was in those "Too many Kirby" search and find books and the children books.

>>559013985
Kumazaki probably had a hissy fit about this and had it retconned and corrected because he needs his beloved self insert egg to appear with Kirby constantly

>>559014992
>Kumazaki probably had a hissy fit about this
He oversaw that novel directly if memory serves, even giving commentary at the end of it, it's probably the most Kumazaki-approved out of all the novels

Do you think Shadow Kirby gatekeeps Kirby from the Mirror ability and that’s why it’s so rare in games?

The longer I work on game dev stuff, the more exponentially my respect for HAL grows. They ARE professionals for a reason (opposed to my bum self working off an 8 year old laptop), but goodness. I'm working on some VFX on UE5 and the more I work on them the more I'm astounded by the ones present in Forgotten Land across every layer of design. Star-Crossed World's visual identity is relatively straightforward with the whole "game blue" thing, but the shaders for the meteor shards emanating energy and altering the terrain are genuinely gorgeous, helps seeing the game run better (and having nicer Anti Aliasing) on Switch 2. HAL is genuinely a reminder to myself to why I even got into this field even knowing the challenges of it, I really truly hope to achieve something like that one day.
Forgive the blogpost, I needed some stress relief from UE5 being a slight nightmare compared to my more Unity-experienced rear, and I figured it wouldn't hurt to bump the thread seeing the page count is at 9 and all. I'll try and plan for the next collab sooner than later, I know the Riders one stalled out a bit but I'm very happy with the result! Though I do wanna ask, where the hell were >>559033427 for it man? Not having Skirby in it is a huge shame!
Either way, considering doing another Anniversary collab for April (better to prep in advance), I liked the DL1 collab a lot, but I'd like doing a different game for it since a couple others also came out that month. Runner ups are Amazing Mirror, Robobot, and Avalance (last one is mainly in case people are feeling funny honestly, it IS April after all, and Avalanche characterizations could be a fun gimmick), what do you think?

>>559072520
an avalanche shitpost collab would be fun, perhaps.

Nono, I was talking about my dev woes broadly there, pretty sure FL is still an evolution of the engine they've been using since RTDL with some tweaks/plugins for Unity compatibility, since they used Unity for its level builder according to a dev interview if memory serves, I'll try looking for it later

Engines are toolboxes at the end of the day, depends on how well people use it. Pretty sure Pikmin 4 was Unreal (though I can't remember if it eas 4 or 5) and that game runs pretty well.

>>559102282
Pretty sure 5 wasn't out yet when they were making Pikmin 4.
The problem is also UE5 is just really badly built as a toolbox often relying on AI Frame Generation to cover up it's massive issues with rendering. Which in itself is creating further performance issues in addition to UE5's own problems.
