More progress on Cliff Farm for BKGRR, it spirals around the cliff that the farm is on kind of like Mayahem Temple, it just feels more Greg Mayles-like that way. Still trying to figure out some layout stuff, especially the water mill. #BanjoKazooie
It's like a topdown version of the original Banjo-Kazooie, here's my progress on a "updated" movement system.

I might as well show these off now lol
I held off posting these cause I couldn't find a confirmed fan name for the jinjo on the third render

@tano0ki.bsky.social All credits go to them! Except for the jinjo noise, that was my failed attempt to whistle lol
Tanooki's new Jinjo model and animation for BKGRR. If anyone knows how to resolve UVWarp export from Blender to Unity, I'd appreciate it! #BanjoKazooie
Working on BKGRR again, here's a peak at my current iteration of Cliff Farm. Initially, it was too cramped, so I stretched the level out a bit more. Adjusted some locations like the "Egg Scramble" mini-game so it's not on the same cliff as the climbing Jiggy. #BanjoKazooie
I think the feed might be too aggressive, and too based on recent likes.
I like one thing the entire feed becomes that-adjacent. It'll include things I don't like so I press the ... and ask it to "show less of this" but that doesn't seem to work.
I made a Baldur's Gate 3-styled Tooltips mod in Tabletop Simulator for my D&D games.

I wouldn't say recovered, but life moves forwards, even if it got a little lonelier.
First update to BKGR: Reimagined after a 3 month hiatus. It's just me and my Gruntling friend created by @tano0ki.bsky.social. #BanjoKazooie

Created a Utility for Tabletop Simulator so you can roll from your miniature from quickly made custom actions.

This does give me some motivation to start developing BKGRR again. Get myself out of this depressive funk.

Thank you, I did get into contact with him a while ago. Everything is all good!
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.
No, I donβt plan on keeping old sound clips in.
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 PIQUΓ
DE: SCHNABELSPRUNG
ES: GOLPE RATATATΓ
IT: L'ATTTACCO A MITRAGLIA
JP: γγγγγ’γΏγγ―
No, I donβt plan to make 2D areas.
For anyone interested what the dialogue was:
"THE ORACLE WILL SAY THAT CAULDRONS ARE FOUND TO CUT LONG JOURNEYS INTO SHORT TRIPS. ASK NO MORE ON THIS SUBJECT."
It wasn't used in the prototype like many other Oracle strings, a leftover from Grunty's Curse, I assume.

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.

The idea is to emulate objectives rather than squeeze them all into the same world space. I think adding new subareas helps create the limitations from the original while also giving a unique spin.
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.
One of the things I want to do is emulate challenges from all versions of the game. That's why Vinyls, Vinyl parts, Memorabilia and Cheato Pages exist. They take up the challenges that would otherwise been scrapped.

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