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.
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.

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

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.

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.

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.

OlieGamerTV recreated Weird West's geometry using maps that @stevemalpass.bsky.social had showcased during a Rocket Jump Event a couple years back.
I'm a fan of Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, seen the cut and unused content, so I wanted to turn one of those ideas into a reality.
This is a small reel I put together featuring some of my progress on a rough 3D recreation of the scrapped game world, "Weird West". Hope you enjoy it! #BanjoKazooie

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 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.
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

It's a little sad to see that there is prep work in #BanjoKazooie: Nuts & Bolts that implies if the game was well liked by fans it would've gotten more DLC. There are three slots for DLC. One was used by LOG's Lost Challenges while the other 2 went unused.

Showdown Town was originally a clockwork-themed town on an island. It was entirely scrapped for release. The hub was specifically made as a reversal of Grunty's Lair, no narrow corridors and an open world. #BanjoKazooie

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

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
