Donkey Kong’s Step dad plays Donkey Kong Country for the 1st time in 30 years!

Here’s the video 😁

A bit of Diddy Kong Racing info…

Stop frowning DK!

Way back in 1996, I was working on Diddy Kong Racing. Probably the most fun I've had in my entire life! One of the most fun parts was creating animation sequences like THIS! #DiddyKongRacing #GameDev #VideoGameHistory #Art #Characterdesign

After Diddy Kong Racing, we started creating a new adventure game featuring TIMBER! It was going to be an epic adventure where Timber explored the galaxy and landed on DINOSAUR PLANET. Along the way, he would encounter a small dinosaur called TRICKY who would eventually become his trusty sidekick

DO the DONKEY KONGA! 🎶🎉🥳

I raced against my alter ego… …And won! Doing WIZPIG’s voice will haunt me forever, but I like it. Mwah ha haaaa!

This is a sneak preview of what we’ve been creating with 20 kids over the weekend. Their designs! Their characters. Their sounds! 😃

BLUE SKY! Last night a sky full of starlings #murmuration! I was stuck in traffic but was rewarded by this so had to get out of my car to film it!

Tonight’s bit of painting progress! Thanks everyone who watched!

Happy Valentine’s Day BlueSky people! Xx And today, for once, in the UK the sky IS actually BLUE!

I’ve started to create some pixel characters for our workshop project next week. I’ll be joined by @davidwise.bsky.social & @drdoak.bsky.social to teach kids how to make video games in Norway for the whole weekend!

HEY KIDS! Wanna learn to make video games?

Joanna is finally taking shape! New paints blends easier, but with that comes a lot more to learn!

Continuing with my Jo Dark painting later this evening!

If only I could paint this fast in real life! This is the Yooka-Replaylee painting I did last year for @playtonicgames.com

Some sad news - the event isn’t happening now, so we won’t be going to Italy this time.

Time to archive all of my game concept art properly!

I’m slowly uploading my full concept archive from my Rare → Playtonic years to a new account. Old sketches, early ideas, the stuff that usually stays in drawers.

#cosplay people? Who’d like a portrait?

Bowie painting done! Who next?

Tonight I’m gonna do a bit of Bowie! See you at 7:30pm UK time on Twitch.tv/Kev_Bayliss

🎨 We have some exciting news, art contest winners! 🎨 Your beautiful Yooka-Laylee prints by @kevbayliss.bsky.social are signed, packed and on their way to yoo! Keep an eye out for your special delivery! 📬

Hope you're having a lovely break. I'm using the time between Xmas & New Year as wisely as possible to re-brand all of my social media sites & created a website to take commissions. The shop is empty but it'll soon be stocked. It's on like KEV BAYLISS! kevbayliss.com

Happy Christmas everyone who celebrates today! Whatever you’re up to, I hope you all have friends and family to enjoy the day with! 😃

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Who’s up for a trip to Italy? Join myself, David Wise and Takaya Imamura for a pizza eating, retro gaming, pasta filled, ice cream tasting, retro gaming, drawing, chatting and Saxophone playing weekend in March!

I went all monochrome in the end. Colour looked crap. And I haven’t the time! 😂

He’s layering up!

First layer of base paint is ON LIKE DONKEY WIZPIG!

GOING LIVE NOW!

WIZPIG gets a lick of paint later on Twitch! See you about 7pm uk time - I’ll post on here when I’m ready - but first I’m out for a Xmas meal with parents! Have a good Saturday!

Our very own @kevbayliss.bsky.social ventured out to the printers to pick up the Yooka-Replaylee print today from our recent art competition! 🎨 They did a fantastic job; congrats again to TheGreyLop for winning this stunning piece! (None of the Playtonic staff are jealous at all)

I’ll be live on Twitch this week painting my new Wizpig sculpture! 🐷🎨 If you want to see him finally get some colour, come and join me on 6th December at 7pm (UK) and throughout the weekend on my channel!

Another delay. Today it’s trains. Stuck in Stoke. Train is empty so I got on it. Home is so close. Had a fab day in Birmingham with @playtonicgames.com for our Christmas Day out though.

Stuck at Oslo airport in a bar with a robot serving me drinks. There could be worse places to be. Will I make it back home to Manchester tonight? I’ve got to get to Amsterdam yet - and time is ticking on!

OH MY GOD! It’s the KEV BAYLISS video game education class! We’re going to learn about how DONKEY KONG COUNTRY was made and how Mario has changed over the years with the RETRO MESSA team, and how their new HUB is open to learn video game skills and development! 😄

Last trip of the year to Norway teaching kids how Mario and Donkey Kong have changed through the ages, and how we make video games - then and now
