Heh. Awesome.^^
By the way, I recently been doing a lot of brainstorming for a Banjo-Threeie concept. Would you be up for discussing the idea with me?^_^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Alright. How would be best to discuss it? Comments or Discord or something?
Though, to start, with what I had in mind... well, it'd start after Nuts and Bolts. Since that game through the fourth wall out the window, had some ideas for such that would actually please fans, along with going back to its roots and expanding on what was had in Banjo-Tooie.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks. It'd start out showing a lot of the characters in Nuts in Bolts in a decrepit state in some way, Grunty's new body all fogged up and unmoving as she pounds her head against the glass as one of them. Then, it eventually switches over to L.O.G., whining and groaning about 'why didn't my innovative game go well?'.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks. Then, after that, another god shows up and tells him that though innovative, he didn't think of his audience. He says that it's not too late. L.O.G. asks how? The new god looks at the screen and says he has his ways. The sky starts rapidly rushing in reverse through days as it waves its hand.... and the camera zooms out to show a dream bubble, Banjo's new Smash design in bed, as the bubble pops.
His waking up snaps Kazooie awake. They banter and Kazooie says to go back to bed, that it was just a nightmare. Banjo, unsure, does so. Then, scene switches to Grunty's head, back on the ground somewhere, wondering why she's so slimey. XD

Yep. Then, it continues with Grunty hopping along. Showcases her arriving at a ruined library, montage as she looks for what she needs for vengeance, brief scene about needing some things. Montage getting some minions and helping get things, like pieces of her old body and the pieces of her two sisters that were squashed.
Then, with the ritual prepared, she laughs and says after all these years, it's finally ready.(minor jab at the development time to get the game made XD) All she needs now is some life force. She turns towards her minions, smirks... fight sounds off screen, and her minions thrown into a pile to use as sacrifices, leading to her gaining a new body... with the faces of her siblings as part of it, having had to use them as part of what was need to get a new body for revenge, much to her sisters' complaints.

Glad you think so. Anyways, after that, they decide that they each want revenge on the BK duo, but the sisters ask how, since they had the most power on the island and they still lost. Grunty replies: "Well, if the island doesn't have what we need..." turns to look out at the horizon. "Then, perhaps it's time to outsource some new sources of power. Girls, I say it's time for a roadtrip. ...but first, time to deal with some old friends of that stupid bear and bird."
Soon, scene break. Some sort of peaceful scene with BK and the others... when all of a suddenly, BK don't feel so good. And it shows their health bar maxed out above their head suddenly breaking, one piece at a time, as if something is damaging it. Knowing whom they got said health from, they worry about their friend that gave them such. Starting the game tutorial section as they prep to head over.

Yep. They find out not only was Honey B nearly killed, but so has the king of the Jinjo's AND as they go, they soon see a massive pillar of light erupt as Jiggies are spread far and wide, finding the crystal jiggy broken. (Good reason for Jiggies to be spread out, eh?)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh. Lots of 'That's cool' replies. XD Anyways, after speaking with Jiggywiggy, they learn of a library that may help, magically enchanted with knowledge about the world. With Grunty apparently going out to get more power, and it may be useful for them on their journey. Basically, acts as a hub world, and as a place for Bottles to spend his time between returning to his new goal of teaching moves. Perhaps even reintroducing the relative from the handheld game to help him with research, with Bottles acting as the middle man due to his youth compared to the elder to bring the news and new moves to the player's team.

Heh. Thanks. Anyways, when they get to the library, at some point thereafter, Mumbo, Humba, and Jamjars decide to help out more directly this time, becoming directly controllable characters to switch to. On top of this, Mumbo and Humba found a spell to cast on Banjo and Kazooie, leaving a faded hidden magical symbol upon them. It doesn't work with one another due to each possessing the symbol, but allows them to also team up with their three new teammates in new ways, each combo presenting new gameplay mechanics.
On top of this, when they're about to leave the kingdom and see just how huge the path to the next kingdom is, L.O.G. and his mentor show up hidden in cloaks and grant them a tool to help them travel. Basically, allows them to do the Nuts and Bolts stuff, mostly to handle the few things and travel things that they can't do on their own, and also make the wide areas between kingdoms easier to traverse.
And as for the kingdoms... well, Banjo-Kazooie was a character in Diddy Kong Racing, so whether certain famous characters pop up or not, that does mean that their world lore is in the same world, so at least hints and references would occur that flesh out the lore of Conker, DK, and Mario and such would come up, even if not focused on. Perhaps even an island focused on the other Diddy Kong Racing characters.

Yep. And that doesn't even cover the gameplay ideas I have in mind.
Sound like it'd be a great Banjo-Threeie game so far?^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
^_^ For the gameplay, for Banjo-Kazooie themselves, likely a number of moves that either involve charging up, double pressing(like when Banjo used Kazooie as a club), or at the very least, some done during stages held while you hold the crouch button, like the Talon Trot and the Wonderwing. And also got ideas for the others, and.... Mumbo and Humba place an enchantment on the two that would let the duo team up with their three new teammates(Mumbo, Humba, and Jamjars) after they've split from one another, though the enchantment doesn't meld well with someone that doesn't have the enchantment already.
Which do you want to hear first?^^ Banjo-Kazooie new moves ideas, or the ideas for the other characters?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For the Talon Trot, was thinking that one has Kazooie bow down while Banjo covers her with his body like makeshift armor, allowing for a damaging charge forward at the cost of handling for turns and such.
Another, Banjo and Kazooie pulls out their instruments. One button would cause a stunning knockback shockwave from Banjo's banjo, and another is a stunning cone shaped shockwave forward from Kazooie's kazooie. And last move for Talon Trot, laying egg mines while she moves.
Then, for Wonderwing, still a work in progress, but one would be a shockwave of golden feathers at a limited range. And another, channel the power of the gold feathers onto a target for escort missions.

Yep. Next, Mumbo. He'd still fulfill his goal from Banjo-Tooie as going to Mumbo pads to cast massive spells. Though, he'd have more electric spells for both combat and platforming than before, like shooting it beneath himself while in the air.
For Mumbo-Kazooie, Kazooie has fused into his outfit via the enchantment, making a much more feathered appearance for his outfit. With this, he can channel his spells into her feathers to shoot off as projectiles. Which ways the projectiles would be shot would depend on the button pressed. The spells could have different effects, with one of the buttons changing the spell used. Also, by being near each other, the feather traps connect their energy for magic arrays. And by holding the different projectile shooting attacks, like how Shulk can swap styles in ultimate, you can choose different arrays to shoot in a scatter shot for the currently selected spell, which is good for a quick array. Though, the best arrays are manually set, mixing and combining spell effects.
Then, for Banjo-Mumbo, Mumbo has fused himself and his skull and feather motif into Banjo's outfit, changing it up entirely. While fused, Banjo is turned into an elemental, with you able to switch elementals at a button press. And the powers of the elementals varies quite a bit. Pressing a button and holding it will even swap the elemental too. Examples: Rock>Nature, Storm>Blizzard, Foam>Water, and Smoke>Magma. Still deciding the details for the Foam>Water one. But, for the others... the Rock one can traverse water and magma while also being very large and destructive, even able to pick up and throw boulders, while the nature control via fireproof vines extends the range of his techniques with rock. Storm is super fast, at the cost of defense, able to pass through objects while electrifying them, while able to leave area effect assaults with electricity enhanced blizzards. And Smoke would have no legs, able to use a number of projectiles that remain on the field and to be lifted up via updrafts for platforming.

Think you'd enjoy those uses for Mumbo?

Heh. Next for Humba.
Humba alone could use potions for a multitude of effects on enemies, for both damage and changing things, even able to set them up for platforming by other characters, like freezing and pushing enemies as blocks, turning them to stone, and more, with holding the buttons allowing her to spread the range of the potion she's using.
Then, with Humba-Kazooie, her outfit changes while a magic leash connects to a collar appearing on Kazooie, with her able to freely change Kazooie with a button press to different giant monsters to carry her around, all while holding the button for their various moves causes her to buff their beastial moves with her potions. Examples of forms could be gorilla that can traverse pipes on the ceiling or swinging vine/wires, a giant bat with sonar and great aerial movement control, or even a giant wolf that she can hide in the fur of that can traverse through thorn locations and leap from ledge to ledge, similar to Twilight Princess.
Then, for Banjo-Humba, Banjo's outfit changes while Humba's magic makes him more malleable, able to switch modes at the press of a button. So far, examples of forms is a larger metal hard fur form that uses his enlarged arms as shields, and another with a stretchy form that can grapple around like Luffy. And holding the button presses enhances the moves he uses with chi like aural enhancements(like, holding it during a stretch punch could send out illusionary energy strikes in a shotgun fashion).

Heh. Thanks.
Next, Jamjars. On his own, specializes in digging tricks, and using rocks painted with egg symbols for cluster bombs, since he taught Kazooie her egg types. Can even use them as mines underground.
Then, Jamjars-Kazooie, Jamjars outfit gets more detailed, with feather like tassles all over along with a Kazooie shaped medal. From that medal, he can tap buttons to pull out different melee weapons, and hold to change those weapons into projectiles, with the weapons based upon Kazooie. This basically turns Jamjars into a one-man army for some tougher fights.
Then, Banjo-Jamjars. Banjo's outfit becomes more militaristic and more buff, and he can summon and command armies that they've rescued, starting off with some mole soldiers that Jamjars called over, and later others. He can use them for various formations and such. And by holding the button, they gather by Banjo to use various combo attacks, somewhat inspired by Naruto.

Heh. Glad you think so. And like in all the BK games, Mumbo and Humba know transformation magics, so when you go to them, you have the option of deciding to either leave, take control of one of them, or undergo a transformation.
In regards to such, the two try to make a bet to try transformations they're not exactly skilled in to see whom is the more adaptive transformer, see which one's new forms for the duo are the most adept.
With that decided, Mumbo goes first and decides to do machines and objects for his transformations this time around, to test his skills in such.
For Humba, she was already skilled with animals, and Mumbo already chose machines and objects. And elementals... well, Mumbo does that when he teams with Banjo, so she doesn't want to copy him. So, after some thinking, she decides something... that changes the kingdoms themselves. She chooses necromancy forms, which grants the ability to view and interact with the spirit world, basically completely changing a lot of known aspects to the kingdoms themselves in the process.^_^

Yep. Lots of possibilities with such transformations, eh?^_^ So, what do you think of all these ideas?

Think you'd enjoy playing such a game?

^_^ Glad you think so. How do you think some of the forms they'd have would look like?^^

What do you think you'd do if you designed said forms?

I'd think about how they would play out
