If you haven't played Banjo-Kazooie, it was a game for the N64 which had gameplay was similar to Mario 64 and rivalled it in terms of quality. The game was a about a bear and a bird who had to fight a witch. In the level, you start out in Banjo's house and make your way to Gruntilda's lair where you traverse through it's many rooms (all recreated from the game) finding many collectibles along the way until you finally reach the top for a final battle with the witch. Every main room in the lair is recreated along with the Gruntys theme music which plays in the background (and other music when I make them). I spent many hours in the actual game to get the level as accurate as possible (despite having to convert it from 3D to side scroller) Here are some pictures: http://i0.lbp.me/img/ft/270c2106fd9746316df660531a17d4e753dee5b0.jpg http://i4.lbp.me/img/ft/fd4f0ca56500f9cc86f04d77772299cf9c140cf1.jpg http://i1.lbp.me/img/ft/9311fea69ed19807dd19688cc21135477cd5e9b5.jpg http://i7.lbp.me/img/ft/8b7b542b93484d7aa28f688a82e5cd9a31839d86.jpg I made this level almost a year ago in LBP1 but I've made considerable improvements since then such as custom music. So far I've made Grunty's theme, Spiral mountain, the music from the bridge before the lair and the final boss theme. I'd say they are pretty accurate to the originals. I may make a few more songs later. I hope you will enjoy the level. http://lbp.me/v/r74hpf

This level was so good I remember playing this on LBP1, and I notice all the great updates and improvements you made, like the music wow, The one when inside Gruntys lair was amazing. This level was great I played it like 3 times already, I could pont some thing out though, in the beggining the carrot, not sure what you had to do with him there, also when jumping from the bridge to the spiral mountain, I had a little trouble there, maybe fix the camera angle or make the bridge a bit bigger. Other than those things everything else was great. I dont know if your gonna make more Banjo Kazooie levels or Banjo Tooie, but I hope you do, and if you didnt know theres a pretty big Banjo Kazooie Project on hold, some people are apart of it, you should look into that if whenever your not Busy (I dont own the project though, you have to look in the Ideas and Projects thread of LBP2). Great music and great level, hope to see more of your work.

Thanks for the positive feedback people. @Bloo_boy: I took your advice and made the carrot killable as well as make the bridge wider. This should fix the problem. As for this "banjo project", I don't know. I'm kind of getting tired of banjo after spending all this time on the lvl. If they want to use my music they can though. I still plan on making a some more music when I get the time.

Update: Added the final boss theme It's the whole song in it's entirety. It took me forever. I doubt you'll hear the whole thing all the way through during the fight but you can unlock it if you collect enough.

I played this like 2 weeks ago. It was all well done, you captured the theme well. Although, I'd put some more work into the visuals and overall details. TBH, it looked kinda bland. But as a BK fan, I enjoyed the whole experience. You guys might want to look in my sig for a special treat

I'll take the pictures you've uploaded as examples. The rocks all look the same and putting stickers on them might not be the best way to make them pop-out. Most of the time, playing with lights and global lightning can really change the way a level looks. adding decos and playing with the full 7 layers could help in giving depth to the environment. Things like that can really change the way someone loooks at a level. Hope this helps a little.

I think I understand what you mean but Im sick of working on this lvl. It's also near overheating. If I was more motivated maybe but I think it's good enough. Most people don't care about the atmosphere anyway.

Okay, this level is good. I've played Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie on Nintendo 64 so I had to check this out. Some of the places look great! I really liked the entrance at spiral mountain, LEGIT! The music was spot on and made me smile. Great job on that. However, there were some areas that seemed a bit empty. I know you're trying to be accurate to Banjo Kazooie but I still feel as if it could've looked a little better. Anyways this is still a good level and you deserve a

Ok I changed the lighting/fog settings a bit in an attempt to make it more visually appealing. Is it good now? If not then I really don't know what more to do.
