For people still working on mods, both Molyb and I are working on our respective mods, and there's a new one being worked on by Sen7 that he uploaded recently. I don't think we've ever had more than three mods in progress anyway, which would be when you, Drios, and I were all working on our mods. Most of the modding discussion nowadays goes on on the Discord, between Molyb, Wins, me, and sometimes Haagnus.

Still, we are like 8 or 9 dudes still active. And sure, I know new people like Molyb or Sen7 are now making projects but I can't help but think that there should be more and I'm talking about both forums and projects.

At this point I think we should rename this "Kid Chameleon Hardcore Fans Wiki"

I mean, there are a lot of problems. I can't give a reason, but for whatever reason, everyone's kind of drifted away from the wiki. And even with the people still active, a lot of them aren't modders. I'd actually say you're the only other active modder who's still around. Drios doesn't really show up any more, and no one else works on projects who isn't already.

I would like to see more going on as much as the next guy, but we don't have a lot of people...it's not a popular game...we don't get a lot of publicity... You can come up with any reason you want, and they'll all be valid. That's why we're trying to get stuff put together for the 25th Anniversaty, because it's probably going to be one of the best chances we have to attract new people and get people interested in modding. I've already finished one mod Wins and I put together for it, and now I'm frantically trying to put KCX together in time. If I can get that done, there's more I want to do for it as well.

Well yeah, I'm working on a new mod as well as I still want to create my own version like Drios did. Maybe it's not that popular because Mario came first so it somewhat looks like a ripoff but the gameplay is solid and it's still as amazing as playing Mario. I recognize that nowdays, it's near impossible came up with something else hidden about the original game to raise it's popularity too high, the closest thing to that may be Wins' videos about speedrun strats.

But as a fan of this game, I would be more than pleased to see this community more crowded, read ideas, suggestions or more reviews about our projects. Perhaps we can help on that if we complete our projects or if you release Wildside at some point don't you think?

Well, there's still a little bit of neat stuff about the original game, like the hidden enemy layout that Haagnus discovered recently, but it's not stuff that interests an outsider.

I mean, I'm doing everything I can to finish KCX and Wildside. That's basically my goal right now. I can't say whether it will bring more people, but...it seems 'worth doing'. I'm not sure what else to try, y'know?

Exactly, that sounds interest for us because we're into the topic, but I don't see outsiders looking at it in the same way as the Crab Cove teleporter for example, I can't imagine how much mystery was into it back then, before some guy came with the Game Genie code.

If it comes to attract people, I would bet more for Wildside than a KC project because sure, they will find very entertaining an original and solid mod but if you give them a program where they can showcase their own projects, create their own levels, etc.
THAT'S SOMETHING.

Drios' Heady Metal Revenge is one of the best hacks for me, almost like if the Sega team came back and made Kid Chameleon 2 and yet, it didn't seem to attract a considerable amount of people here really.

i scrapped my project like a few months ago because i was lost on inspiration and felt like it was too time-consuming for my liking as i'm not a hard worker. i feel kinda terrible now that i had tyadran spend days helping me figure all this stuff out... and i really gotta give it all out to him. 

seeing all these other people in this community putting forth a lot of hard work and effort into projects is something i really admire, wish i could be like that but i got no luck there as im so lazy xD

im hoping one day i could come back to this and try and make a kc-hack, if on day saxman does actually come out with it. obviously it's not something he's obligated to do so it's all on him, and we'll just have to see. you know what, maybe when he said he's hoping to have it out by june or july, he didn't mean 2016. maybe he meant 2017 ;) (lol doubt it)

anyways i have no idea why i said all that, i basically just restated everything a lot of you guys just said lol, guess i just kinda felt like adding on to the conversation even tho i basically added nothing. only hopeful for the future of kc right now.

Kid Chameleon was my favorite game ever and honestly I expected absolutely nobody to be speed running the game and would've bet money nobody had modded it at all, let alone full mods like HMR. For me what drew me into the game was the atmosphere and music. The game had this almost horror like dark tone to it, which is odd because watching videos now it's hard to see it considering how things have progressed in the horror game genre.

There are definitely people out there who appreciate what you guys are doing and continue to do. I'd love to see some unofficial cartridge releases.

PS I have done modding before and from what I see K-E is one of the better programs out there. Anyone who has messed with the old Mario software knows what I'm talking about. It's not easy and unfortunately it feels like games like Super Mario Maker have left people spoiled. I may one day try modding this, but the massive amount of levels is a turn off. It takes a ton of dedication to a project.

I'm actually wondering what's gonna come first, K-E on Java or Half Life 3?
