Yooka-Replaylee is out now on... well EVERYWHERE! 💚💜

The open world 3D platforming epic with hundreds of collectibles to discover, an evil capitalist bee to defeat, and a snake in trousers await!

It's bigger. It's better. It's Yooka-Replaylee!

I’m still early into Yooka-Replaylee but…

They did it!

Immediately - controls better, looks better, sounds better, paced SO MUCH better, and funnier. And I say this as someone who still does not like the original Yooka-Laylee. But Replaylee so far is good, maybe even great!

Renders were always done towards the end of a project, when no more art was allowed and the coders were busy bug-fixing. Any art-person who wanted to could have a go, that's why there's a real mix of stuff

Proud to be a Grabbed by the Ghoulies fan!

I drew this Artwork over the last couple of days as a Color & Light study. Ended up being one of my favorite things I've ever drawn!

Happy to contribute to the growing (statement not fact checked) Ghoulies Fan Community 🎃

The IGN and gamescom logos on a black background with dotted turquoise and purple neon detailing in the bottom left corner. Sprites of Yooka and Laylee have been placed around the logos, one of the pair mid-run with Yooka, the chameleon, reaching towards the screen and another with the two of them seated down.

Gnawty & Zinger. The DKC enemy designs are simple yet so creative.

Second in Kommand 🐊
This is #DonkeyKong art day 69 (yeah yeah, shut up). I stopped for a while because I really wanted to try and make some new stuff among the reposts!
#AltersArtTag
Now, which is your favorite design for the hefty boy?

Colored illustrations of Klump from the Donkey Kong series in his appearances from DKC, DKC2 (where he's known as Kannon), DK64 and Barrel Blast. I thought about including the cartoon but it would just be a recolor of DKC. If you read this, let me know if you want to see the cartoon version and I will draw him again :)

It's great to see DK back in Bananza! Back in 1994, we were getting ready to bring DK back ourselves! With Nintendo having lost ground to Sega in the console wars, it can't be over-estimated how important DKC was for Nintendo (and Rare of course!)
