Steve Mayles is a British game artist and animator formerly employed by Rareware, and the brother of Gregg Mayles. He was a character designer and sprite artist for the first two installments of the Donkey Kong Country series, where he created King K. Rool and Dixie Kong, among other characters.[1] He also worked on several other games by Rare, including the Banjo-Kazooie series, for which he designed, modeled, and animated the titular characters. For Donkey Kong 64, he only designed a few characters, such as Mad Jack and Puftoss.[2]
Mayles, along with several other Rare alumni, left Rare in September 2014[3] to found Playtonic Games, which successfully crowdfunded Yooka-Laylee on May 1, 2015.
