I can't wait for the surprise announcement PTG is going to make today!

I thought it might have happened today to mark the 1 year anniversary of the game's release.

But speaking of stretch goals, I saw someone in the comments section on the Yooka-Laylee Kickstarter page say that Grant Kirkhope apparently confirmed there was no longer going to be an orchestral soundtrack (which I'm not surprised about, as recording that would be so expensive, and I reckon they needed that money to help them fund all the extra effort required to get the Switch version of the game up and running). I'm happy with the music in the game as is, but I'm sure some people might be disappointed about that.

So what could "plus other stuff" be? New game?

Taylor wrote:Not true. There is literally no obligation, legal or otherwise, that says they have to fulfil all stretch goals. Now, if you're talking about maintaining their trustworthiness as a company, then you may have a point... But personally, I don't care much about the 'extras' and feel satisfied with the game they produced.
I would like the DLC though, simply because it means more of what I loved.
Piet wrote:I just can’t understand that you could still feel satisfied IF (I think they will keep their promises tho) a company (in this case: PTG) you trusted and invested money in, doesn’t keep their promises. That’s pretty naive, if you ask me.

I also understand that in a realistic world, not everything can go to plan, which was actually stated on the Yooka-Laylee Kickstarter page. The stretch goals were never promises.
I'm actually quite curious about how much of an effect the stretch goals had on the final total collected with Kickstarter. I would presume not very much, but of course I don't have the data.

But the stretchgoals DID have impact on other people's investments and pledge amounts, like mine.
If they say they will add more stuff IF they get more money and they do get said money (they did), they have to deliver. Deceiving (that's what it is, IF they don't deliver) you project's backers is never a good idea.
The 4 stretchgoals that aren't fulfilled yet, are the ones with the highest pledge amounts.

Don't care for the t-shirt, but I want everything physical (ex. the N64 thingy) & digital (for my Wii U).
Maaaannnnn, I can' wait!
