Here's his amusing description.

"Trowzer is a business-snake whose career never took off. Not that he knows it – the smug, serpent salesman thinks he’s the bee’s knees (not that he has knees), and for a little dosh he’ll teach you some of the slick moves he picked up on the high-stakes sales floor.

He’ll take your money and count it (he’s an Adder…) and because he knows best he’ll even demonstrate the moves you just bought for you to replicate… if you can follow his jiggling."

Basically he's gonna be the Bottles/Jam Jars of the game.

I was thinking the same thing actually

New stretch goal~

Love that Conker reference they are repeatedly using.

Wow, I never really thought of that as an idea of a stretch goal, though to be fair not many are expecting DLC from this. Maybe some will be costume packs and people will finally be able to give Yooka some clothes :U

Just asking here: who here is a backer to the project? I am, of course.

me too

£5 or 10? Convert that to US dollars, and it's slightly more expensive.

£15 for me

I pledged £70.

I pledged 20 £

I pledged £80.

Pledged for the console rank.

Also in a interview from yesterday, the devs commented that Laylee was harshly judged because of her nose when she was younger, and nowadays she's proud of it. Hey, it's small backstory but it's backstory.

Big noses are adorable. :3

I think it's too red but it's not a dealbreaker for me like it is for some people. And hey, if it gives Laylee an independent and 'take insults from no one' personality all the better.

Laylee is really adorable. I like her that she is "The don't take crap from no one" bat.

You're stating the obvious....

JonTron is awful, but him doing a voice is pretty neat

"JonTron is awful"



^me

Come now, guys, we all have different opinions, but let's not turn this into a jon tron dislike/yo have to like him-fest.

Really excited for this! As well as the rest of my family & my brother. Now were just trying to decide if we want to be a backer and how much to pay etc. Cuz exclusive dlc would be awesome from being a backer. we will be getting this game regardless.

Well there are 22 days left for the kickstarter, if you want to back the project, better hurry.

Yea i better pay some when i get paid Friday lol

I'm totally gonna donate tomorrow.. I honestly can't wait for this game.

Okay, I'm now one of the fifteen fan voice actors for Yooka-Laylee after switching my pledge to £3,375. Someone changed their mind about it and left an opening in the Be in the Game backer reward, so I took it. Wish me luck.

Just don't forget to tell us who you voiced once it's out :3 With all the backer voices plus the people they might invite it'll be hard to tell who'll be who.

Cant wait to hear you.

You can hear my voice on some of my youtube videos, including my latest one about taking part in the Yooka-Laylee Voice Acting. Makes me wonder which unknown Yooka-Laylee character is perfect for my voice.

I will. I don't know how the voice acting process will go for each of us, Playtonic Games did state they'll be choosing which character each of us will voice and give us guidance on the styling and duration of the noises.

Wow, that's incredible.

Meh, I'll pass. It can't fit that BK void. You can't beat the classics, and gotta keep the legacy living. Unless, they make a cameo or a reference, which i highly doubt.

EDIT: actually, maybe i can go for $15. That's not bad...

But, i feel like this doesn't have that old N64 feeling... I understand they're resurrecting the game, but it doesn't really feel the same... Hope someone else feels the same way.

They're literally adding an N64 filter to the game, as an option.

"It's not the same" it's what divided this forum's fandom. Yes, you can beat the classics, it's just not going to happen to those with nostalgia filters super tight over their eyes.

New collectible characters~!



In their physical days these articulate phantoms were the scribes behind Yooka-Laylee’s mysterious book worlds. However, following their suspicious demise the Ghost Writers’ unsettled souls are now cursed to endlessly wander their creations in search of spectre salvation. Free their spirits for a special reward…

Yooka-Laylee’s creative lead, Gavin Price explains: “The Ghost Writers haunting the book worlds will add a fun twist to collecting. There are a variety of different types hidden in every world, each with their own unique requirement for being caught.

“Mix that with the different areas in which you’ll find them, and hopefully they’ll result in a fresh challenge with every encounter. They’re like a living (un-living?) collectible.”

Well someone at Playtonic likes Luigi's Mansion 2 a whole lot.

New swamp art piece~




GOG version confirmed, new Backer Goal added -

So the cave system with tubes is saw is the hub world(or at least part of it,if they go with many themes like in BK)? Wasn't expecting that.

Finally got around to pledging!
Now to wait a long time...

I might have to cancel my pledge (or bring it down to minimum). Don't have the money to pay for the pack I wanted unfortunately, and then the Smash DLC is coming out tomorrow so I want to be able to use what I have to buy that.

this game looks georgous.

Yay, final stretch goal beaten, game funded, things looking good. Sure, they lost the KS record to Bloodstained and Shenmue III pretty quickly, but they still got there first.

Now to save up for a WiiU. Skylanders Superchargers is NOT going to help with that.

Here's some Alpha footage from E3.

I pledged $23 before it ended.
