Kickstarter Backer Credits | Name Change Update

UPDATE: Since posting, we have removed the need to provide the elusive "BackerKit ID"

Hey folks!

When we announced Yooka-Replaylee, we had more than a handful of people ask us whether backers of the original game would still feature in the credits, and if so, would there be the possibility of changing the name featured in the credits.

I am pleased to say that the answer to both of these questions is: Yes!

We are, of course, still incredibly appreciative to those of you who helped bring Yooka & Laylee into the world kicking and screaming rolling and sonar...ing? And we’re also aware of the fact that some people have since changed their given names or have perhaps since decided that “xXThaToastGhostXx” isn’t as cool as it was 10 years ago (I disagree, I think that’s a sick name). If we’re remastering the game, it’s only fair you get to remaster your name!

With this in mind, we’ve created a Google Form for folks who originally backed the game to provide us with their new, preferred name they’d like to see in the Yooka-Replaylee credits!

You will need to provide the following details, if any of these are not included or incorrect, we will not be able to proceed with updating your name:

- The email address you used for BackerKit
- Your original name featured in the credits
- Your new desired name

Some general rules:

· Please use only ASCII characters
· You are limited to 40 characters
· No vulgar, abusive, racist, homophobic, transphobic or otherwise offensive terms
· No legal entity, copyright protected or trademarked names allowed
· If you are a minor, or want to enter the name of a minor, please make sure you have the permission of parents or guardians
· Please be aware that your name will be visible to everyone who plays the game
· We reserve the right to remove inappropriate names
· Please don't include URLs, twitter handles or email addresses
· ASCII art will most likely not show up correctly, so please don't include it
· If you wish to have your name removed from the credits, please tick the check box option at the bottom of the form and enter “N/A” in the new name field.

Hopefully it goes without saying but please don't fill this form out if you weren't an original backer of Yooka-Laylee, some poor person who draws the short straw (Not me!) is going to have to manually cross-reference all of these names so please help us by only filling this out if it's relevant to you!

REQUEST A NAME CHANGE HERE!

Submissions will close two weeks from now on 11/10/24 and no further changes will be accepted.

Stay tuned for more updates sooooon!

Yooka-Replaylee Art Q&A!

Hello folks!

I sat down with Ed, Nikita and Steve to talk all things art on Yooka-Replaylee! We talk about how they're improving the environments, characters and more for the remaster.

There's some new sneak peeks at gameplay and some nice new screenshots in this one too!

Check out the video below!

Yooka-Replaylee | Discount For Original Owners

Hey folks,

As the Yooka-Replaylee dev team crack on with polishing up all those textures up to 4K and Kev moves all those pesky Quills around, I've been keeping a close eye on your comments and thoughts since we announced the remaster and I come with an update I think at least one person will be happy to hear!

We are happy to confirm that there WILL be a discount on Yooka-Replaylee for owners of the original game!

We'll go into detail closer to release but for now, start thinking about what you're gonna spend that extra money on! Maybe a celebratory launch kebab (a Steve favourite), some new socks, or perhaps a nice little treat for the pet in your life?

For clarity, this currently only applies to Steam right now as we're yet to announce console support but we'll keep you posted once we have console news!

Yooka-Replaylee is shaping up to be the best game ever definitive way to play and experience the very first of Yooka and Laylee's adventures and we want to recognise and thank all of our original Kickstarter backers and all the folks who supported us by buying Yooka-Laylee in the first place. So thank you! We're putting a lot of love into Yooka-Replaylee and we can't wait for you to see what we've been up to!

We've also written an FAQ that'll be updated constantly as we have more answers to the most frequently asked questions!

If you're the one person who was waiting for this fantastic news before hitting that lovely "Wishlist" button, feel free to do it now, go on, it's free and it means we get to watch a little number go up on our side. It's very exciting for people like me! (Nerds)

Stay tuned to our Steam news pages and social media as our next Dev video about Yooka-Replaylee will dropping in August as part of a series of videos where we go over all the things you can expect from the game!

Now, to ensure Trowzer doesn't catch wind of us practically giving the game away, this message will self-destruct in 5...4...3...2...

Announcing Yooka-Replaylee!

Calling all 3D platformer fans! A lizard and a bat... we are so back!

Hello folks!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

We are VERY pleased to finally show you one of the many exciting things we've been working on! Introducing Yooka-Replaylee!

One of the ways we wanted to celebrate our approaching 10th Birthday is by providing fans with the best way to play the game that started it all!

"What a great new pun-derful title" we hear you say, but you want to know details. We've got you: There's a revised control and camera system, tweaks to abilities, remixed and new challenges, new collectibles, a fancy new coat of visual paint, of course, and more we'll be digging in to in the coming months!

Yooka-Replaylee is the culmination of almost 10 years of experience since founding Playtonic (Seriously, how has it been nearly 10 years since 2015?!) and we've channelled much of what we've learned while tinkering on other projects, as well as taking on board community feedback from the original release, in to making this the best way to play Yooka-Laylee.

Very soon, we'll be releasing a Q&A video with some developers you may recognise to talk more about what Yooka-Replaylee is and what it means for us as studio. Until then, stay tuned to our socials for more news and Wishlist Yooka-Replaylee on Steam!
