Wizard seal miniature based on @dranag0n.bsky.social's OC. When they were discussing D&D on stream, I had the idea to make their character.

Trying to get out of my creativity pit, I created Okiri Village from the Obojima D&D book with a visual style based on the Legend of Zelda Windwaker. #obojima #zelda #3Dart #environment

Had to put my dog down. She couldn't walk anymore and she was in so much pain that she couldn't wag her tail. It's been a horrible year. Please be patient until I can feel motivated to continue again. Sorry.

Bree from Bree's Mercantile in Okiri. She's from the #Obojima D&D campaign setting.

I'm remixing release and prototype dialogue to flesh out the game's lack thereof. #BanjoKazooie. What's your thoughts? Here's an example:

My grandma had passed away today. If not for her owning a Nintendo 64 with Banjo-Tooie, I don't think I'd be who I am today. Thanks for everyone who supported me and for their condolences. When I'm emotionally ready again I'll continue my projects.

Doing translates for BKGRR and finding the actual names in other languages is fun. For instance: Rat-a-tat Rap is: FR: ATTAQUE EN PIQUÉ DE: SCHNABELSPRUNG ES: GOLPE RATATATÁ IT: L'ATTTACCO A MITRAGLIA JP: キツツキアタック

Jiggywiggy's Temple concept art for BKGR Reimagined. #BanjoKazooie. Warp Cauldrons were once planned, as there is unused dialogue in the prototype about them. I think having a Warp Silo situation would be nice once you complete the level. Character art by @tano0ki.bsky.social.

Collapsing Tunnel concept art for BKGR Reimagined. #BanjoKazooie I think this is the only direct reference to Banjo-Tooie original to BKGRR. Using the sing-a-long pad outside the tunnel, Banjo must navigate through it within the time frame or be kicked out. My attempt to add a time-travel gimmick.

Redrew Mr. Pants while looking at references this time. I wasn't happy with the initial attempt so I went back to it.

Sorry for the lack of updates to BKGRR recently. Remodeling my basement, my childhood dog‘s showing signs of twilighting and my grandma having a stroke in the course of the last few weeks has been rough on my motivation.

Added TheGrybo on as a composer. Using their tracks and the tracks from !!!!!, I have finished Cottage Cliff Farm's OST in preparation for Demo 1. Other updates is localization and pre-planning as well as game design doc. #BanjoKazooie www.youtube.com/watch?v=cS12...

Does this sound like Banjo-Kazooie dialogue for a boss? BKGR: Reimagined will cover cut content. The mad cow only has a single line referencing her from the Jinjo Oracle via scrapped dialogue. #BanjoKazooie

I'm re-adding scrapped dialogue for BKGR:Reimagined and translating it with DeepL, if it already has an existing piece of dialogue, I'll tack it onto the preexisting translation. Anyone who speaks any of these languages, does the translated dialogue read OK? #BanjoKazooie

I'm not usually a digital 2D art person. But I took Wil Overton's concept art for Fast and the Furriest and digitally painted it. #BanjoKazooie Uncolored is the original.

I have a spreadsheet of every string in Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge separated by language and whether its a prototype or not. There are 815 unique lines of dialogue. About a quarter of it wasn't used. #BanjoKazooie

I reached out to Grybo who was doing the compositions for Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge Redone mod to see if I can use his tracks. If I get the go ahead, I'd love to repurpose his "redundant" tracks to other areas. I have a Cliff Farm interior theme, but his is so different. Adds some extra spice.

Running an idea through you guys. I was thinking the final quiz dubbed WINKYBUNION TOWER for BKGRR would take the Jeopardy approach. Three rounds. The collectibles would be as if the quiz show was its own level. Gives it a unique flair from ToT and FoF. #BanjoKazooie

With permission from !!!!!, as well as additional tracks they gave that were not made public, so far BKGR Reimagined has 57 tracks to its OST. #BanjoKazooie

Showcasing the Secrets of Jinjodom mechanic. Borrowing a mechanic from #BanjoKazooie: Nuts & Bolts. Did you know that almost all Jinjo Oracles' dialogue has been re-written from prototype to final? I repurposed some as signposts and used some here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfMd...

Bug testing the new Jinjo Oracle secrets menu. Clearly needs some rework as it's not doing everything it should. But proof of concept for the most part. You'll see I changed the language midway through. #BanjoKazooie

Eventually I'll need to make a spreadsheet and get lines of dialogue translated. I could take a majority of it from the files. But it's extremely unorganized. Not a priority at the moment but it's good to have the early implementation for later. #BanjoKazooie

Concept map of what I want the Cottage Cliff Farm world to be mapped out as. My focus was on more of keeping the gameplay beats of it intact but shaping it more like a Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie world. This does a spiral to the Point of Interest like Mayahem Temple. #BanjoKazooie

Trying to watch #BanjoKazooie: Grunty's Revenge prototype streams to get screenshots for my documentation. Every single one gets caught up in Chilly Chasm trying to get the broken frozen Jinjo yo unthaw they neglect 1/4 of the map out of frustration. Now I have to replay it. 😤

One mechanic I'll be adding will be "Secrets of Jinjodom". In the original, the Oracle would give you hints for collectibles every Jinjo you find but they're often not very helpful. Each secret costs 1 Jinjo. The secret will give her dialogue but also pan the camera.

Unfortunately I will have to redo Singalong's effect. The shader conflicts with other transparent shaders. Might have to make Singalong Pad or something that affects the environment rather than a ball that follows Banjo.

Redid my documentation so I have a reference sheet of my objectives. You can see where the source of inspiration for a collectible came from and what was/will be repurposed. This is Spiral Mountain / Grunty's Lair. BKGR Mobile's collectibles are converted into Memorablia, Vinyl and Cheato Pages.

I was documenting and recording stuff for later usage, and I saw that both a Jinjo and a Hollow Honeycomb are beside each other in Spiller's Harbor. I was thinking of moving the Jinjo elsewhere in the area but also adding a little bit of Rare-style humor. How's this for a gag?

Changed the dialogue font to CComicCrazy Roman, an alternate free version of Comic Crazy, the same font used in the Banjo-Kazooie games. Updated the honeycomb UI, and implemented logic for collecting different color jinjos. #BanjoKazooie

Here's what we know about Weird West so far based on text strings left over in the files of Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. I contribute a lot to the Jiggywikki so when either I or OllieGamerTV find something I make sure tod document it. I also did the Prerelease page for BKGR.

OK, help me out, which one looks better for the Jinjo HUD in BKGR: Reimagined? I'll bounce ideas off you guys. #BanjoKazooie

Officially back from my vacation and will resume progress on BKGR: Reimagined.

I’m in the airport all day, would anyone be interested in a Q&A for BKGR: Reimagined? Any questions about my project that I can answer? #BanjoKazooie

Uploaded Dev Log 17, it's a combination of a lot of stuff I posted over the last two weeks in case you missed it. I've also added a part I haven't shown off here. #BanjoKazooie www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WXl...

Here's my HUD inspired by both Banjo-Tooie and Donkey Kong Bananza. When you idle around long enough it'll show you your total collectibles on screen and disappear when you use any inputs. #BanjoKazooie

I've been asked how I'll be implementing MohendraBanjo despite there being barely any content for it in design documents. I won't be producing a whole original instead I'll be repurposing one that would've been removed due to redundancy. #BanjoKazooie

Trying to figure out a HUD. I was thinking of copying DK Bananza's where it shows all the collectibles available. If anyone has any ideas for it, let me know! #BanjoKazooie

Signs will have its dialogue appear above it rather than Banjo interacting with it. Text is also compatible with Unity's localization asset. So when I get around to it, I can translate all the text in-game. Also set up accessibility check if the players want to destroy the signs. #BanjoKazooie

Some HUD elements, inspired by the simplified approach that DKB/SMO took. The red feather and the blue egg will represent a generic resource for all feathers and eggs. #BanjoKazooie

I'm thinking of doing a controversial choice. Making Eggs all share a generic egg resource and feathers doing the same. Each egg is proportional to its value. Like Blue Eggs have a capacity of 100, so it uses 1. Battery Eggs are 25 thus use 4 per egg. Thoughts? #BanjoKazooie

I'm thinking of redoing the signs, instead of "talking" to them, I might just have a floating message appear above them. Like how the characters in DK Bananza talk to DK from afar. Here's a little thing I also added for funsies. #BanjoKazooie

My attempt of trying to optimize Banjo's movement to align with more modern 3D platformers. Combination of Forward Roll, Rat-a-tat Rap, Feathery Flap and Flap Flip. Wanted the movement to be snappier. You don't even need to fully crouch before Flap Flip just time your button presses. #BanjoKazooie

Added a deoccluder to the camera so it no longer clips in geometry. Distanced and changed the height to be similar to Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie's camera. #BanjoKazooie

Updated Sing-a-long on the Digger Tunnel from Banjo-Tooie. Sing-a-long rhymes is a concept scrapped from Grunty's Curse that would unlock bonus areas. This is to incorporate time travel into the game. Mostly repurposed challenges from GR Mobile. #BanjoKazooie.

Instead of making it stick sensitive I made it so Banjo will sneak when moving when crouching, since breegull blaster in BKGR replaced egg firing. Improved the visuals for the Sing-a-Long. Now can make sections appear and disappear within 20 seconds. #BanjoKazooie

Another mishap. Accidentally recreated Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. #BanjoKazooie
