Developers Reveal How Yooka-Laylee Reinvents the 90s Platformer
Stop me if you've heard this one before. Several game development veterans walk into a bar. After a few drinks, they come up with the idea to create a game inspired by one of their previous successes. A kind witch hears their wish and grants them millions of dollars to create said game. The bewildered-but-grateful development team skip out into the night to dive into their newfound wealth, Scrooge McDuck-style.
Okay, so that's not quite how Yooka-Laylee was conceived. While a trip to the pub may have been involved, it took years of hard work, the formation of a new company, some revised concepts, and eventually a hugely successful Kickstarter funded by 80,000 eager backers before their open-world 3D platformer became a reality.
