"We would love to be able to do it at some point if we can, but for launch it would mean having to finish the game 2 months earlier in order to get the discs printed," he said. "We want more time to make the game!"
Another highlight included character art directer Steve Mayles revealing Yooka was nearly a tiger at one point, though this was ditched in order to remain inkeeping with the studio's habit of focusing on underdogs rather than heroic characters.The spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie hit Kickstarter on May 1. Yooka-Laylee was able to reach its $270,000 USD funding goal in just under 40 minutes. It subsequently became the fastest video game project to hit $1 million USD on Kickstarter, achieving the feat in only six hours. With 12 days remaining, backers have now pledged over £1.7 million.
Yooka-Laylee is expected to be released by October 2016 on PC, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Wii U. Luke Karmali is IGN's UK News Editor. You too can revel in mediocrity by following him on Twitter.
