If you're a fan of the Banjo-Kazooie modding community, then there's a big chance you've been waiting for Grunty's Revenge Redone to finally reach completion for a while now. It's been a mammoth project, remaking the top-down GBA game Grunty's Revenge and reimagining it as a game for the N64, with all new music, 7 worlds, and much more.
Facts About Banjo on X has spotted that the developer, YoomTah, is finally stepping away from the project, releasing it as it is for gamers to play. He's said that there is 'too much life in the way, too many bugs left', and that 90% of the Jiggies are completed and functional. They say that they would be fixing bugs for many months and that the whole thing is hanging over their head, so have decided to release the project to someone else to finish off.

'All I ask is for some credit in the release,' says YoomTah, 'breaks my heart to do it, but it's not good for my mental [health] to have it hanging over my head at this point.' Love you guys, I know someone here will be able to give it the attention it deserves.'
YoomTah has spent thousands of hours working on this project, so we hope that someone can bring it to completion and celebrate all of the hard work they have put into it by bringing it to the masses and joining the works of Kurko Mods for the Banjo-Kazooie community to enjoy. And yes, Mark Kurko should definitely take up the mantle to finish it off if he has the time!
