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!
