Much love, it's looking hellah good and I absolutely adore the original.

If you wanna go supercrazy with the changes it'd be cool to get to play as the other characters aswell. Although Zipper and Fat-cheese-loving-guy (I doubt his English name is "Oscar" like in the Swedish translation of the show) might be extra tricky to incorporate. And Zipper (and sort of cheese-man) is a power-up aswell... and is Gadget kidnapped? Whatever, you could alter the storyline.

Other than that, I dunno. New power-ups? Isn't there a hammer you only get for like five seconds in the original?

Wow! This is looking great. I would definitely play it exactly how it is!

One thing I really like about the Duck Tales remake was the added frames of animation. It made it feel modern rather than just look it (Earthworm Jim HD looked very choppy with the updated visuals). I also really enjoyed the added cut scenes too.

It also had an easy mode making it a far kinder play through to younger children. My niece and nephew loved it but I think they would be put off by the difficulty of the originals (they're only 5 and 6).

Looking forward to what you come up with!

Yep. The same with the boat. It serves no other purpose than a five second ride, never to be seen again. I think the developers of the original game initially made these features for later use, but didn't have either time or interest to properly incorporate them into actual gameplay, so they basically left them in the game just to show they had these cool ideas. I think I'll try to add some gameplay so these features will be actually useful. Either that, or will replace them with something different.

Added new screenshots in the first post.

Don't people get a C&D warnings for these sort of projects? Remember what happened with Chrono Resurrection

Do you suggest this project to be shut down because it doesn't have official permission, or you are worried that it may be shut down by a C&D letter? I'm well aware of all legal implications, and taking the risks. The whole Emuparadise website is full with legally questionable stuff, and this game isn't any different.

That.

I can't take anymore of this constant dreams being dashed of fan remakes we REALLY would like to happen.

That Sqeenix C&D to that Chrono project was a real kick in the jimmy but ya I can kinda see the reasoning on that since who would want to buy it when they can get a full 3D remake on PC for free?

I'm sorry dude but that made me laugh

[maxeuwe]

I think companies take action only when such project grow really big - like raising significant amounts of money through kickstarter, or trying to officially release a game for PS/Xbox, etc.
It's highly unlikely that Disney or Capcom will care enough to sue me over this game.

Two more levels (H & D) are finished. At this point the game is about 50% complete.

Just let me say: Awesome! If it's playable like the old one, and so it looks in the video, it will be my game of the year!

incredible remasterizing, i play this and you try me this records of my childhood, something extrange and many good times to remember

It's an incredible game, i think the latest boss the cat it's good to see, because in this game all facta are many important.

I have some few questions for you.

1- Plataform to run ? If PC it's an emulated or something or how can i play it (if posible, of course).
2.- Do you think in remastering another games ? (i'm thinking in Batman and Contra to be more specific , and many other games because are amazing games and no one makes some good works on it yet).

Thanks for all i'm very glad and surprised about this because this games really got some part of my life and i'm happy of that in that times games are great, good playing, good history, good enjoy hours etc.

There will be PC (Windows) and Android versions.

2.- Do you think in remastering another games ? (i'm thinking in Batman and Contra to be more specific , and many other games because are amazing games and no one makes some good works on it yet).

I have more than enough work for the time being with that one game, so I didn't think as yet about any possible future projects.
Both Contra and Batman are active franchises with a lot of recent games to choose from (and more will come). The last Batman game was released just yesterday. I don't really see any reason to "remake" such active franchises which produce new games to play almost every year.

One reason why I chose CDRR and not some other game is that official companies completely abandoned this series some 20 years ago, and our chances to see some new official game are essentially non-existent.
