Kao the Kangaroo FAQ

[Tate Multimedia]

Hi guys,
We want to thank you all for your comments, feedback and suggestions about the new Kao the Kangaroo. Your input is really helpful in shaping the final game and making necessary changes. You'll see the results shortly!

You also ask us tons of (good!) questions, among which there are some we hear almost every day. For that reason we decided to make this short FAQ. If you think there is a question that needs to be addressed, let us know in the comments. So, let's get started!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Is Kao the Kangaroo a remake/remaster of the first game in the series?
A: No, what we're working on is a brand new adventure of our beloved Kangaroo, with a new story, environments, enemies and Kao's friends.

Q: How much will Kao the Kangaroo cost?
A: We're yet to announce the price, but let's say you won't need to rob the bank to play it, no worries!

Q: Do you plan the return of well known characters (allies and enemies) from previous games?
A: Yes, you may see one or two familiar faces (you’ve already seen Gadget). But be ready to meet many new friends and foes!

Q: Is Kao the Kangaroo still a 3D platformer?
A: Yes it is. The core gameplay stays true to the series roots, with engaging platforming, fast action and some cool puzzles to solve.

Q: Is it going to be a mobile game? Will you make it free-to-play?
A: No and no. Just like that.

Q: When exactly are you going to release the game?
A: We plan to release Kao the Kangaroo in 2021. Keep an eye on our Steam announcements and social media, we'll keep you posted!

Q: Will you release Kao the Kangaroo (1) and Kao: Mystery of Volcano on Steam, the same way you did with Round 2?
A: Not in the nearest future, that's for sure. We currently focus all our attention and efforts on developing the new Kao the Kangaroo game.

Q: But hey, it's just a re-release, it shouldn't be too hard to make!
A: Actually it's harder than you may expect. Kao the Kangaroo (1) and Kao: Mystery of Volcano run on very old engine, not meant to work with current gen platforms. Making adjustments and implementing Steam features in it will be really hard, or even impossible (in case of Kao 1).

So I would have the question regarding collectibles
Will coins (that were shown on the art you already shared [it looks stunning and it was really well made])
have more use than just a collectible like in round 2
and will the gems also make a reappearance?

These systems are still in development, so things might change till the release. What we can say is we want all the gameplay elements to be meaningful for players.

In the last question about the return of old parts, you said about the difficulty of implementing steam capabilities in the old parts of Kao, and in parentheses wrote about the impossibility with Kao 1. Two questions arose: what are these capabilities of steam, and is the entry about the impossibility with Kao 1 100% the likelihood that Kao 1 will not appear on steam? I will be glad to receive an answer.

Steam capabilities are actually the least of an issue. The biggest one is the engine itself and making it work on modern hardware / OS. For Kao 1 it might be even easier to re-make it from the ground up on some new engine than to try to make the old one compatible with current machines (which doesn't mean it will be easy).

Is there a chance Kao 1 will be released on Steam one day? Well, there is always a chance, but we don't have it planned as for now.

Right click on the start menu button and click Run.
Type %localappdata% and press enter.
then go to Kao > Saved > Config > WindowsNoEditor
Open GameUserSettings.ini in notepad and change bCameraShakeEnabled to 'False' then press ctlr+s to save.

This should remove the camera shake.
