Your summary pretty much nails what I think they're trying to say.

But if it was a carbon copy it would be identical in its mechanics. Tropical Freeze doesn't let you play the final level from the very start of the game and it doesn't have a Zelda style overworld with puzzles, as mentioned in the article. The overworld in Tropical Freeze is closer in resemblance to...

Good article. It was exciting to read that one little bit of info from this article about how Gavin Price said that the game is about to enter certification. That sounds like they're basically done and just need to get bugs fixed and approval from the various console makers. Since they're having phy...

It was already a foregone conclusion that I'll buy this as soon as it comes out, but now that I've seen the gameplay demo I'm actually excited to play it! The trailer was nice an all, but this demo did a much better job of showing the game off. That's to be expected I suppose. I only wish I could pr...

They even made them resemble the Hi-Res models from the N64 era and not the N&B style! That makes me so happy!

Andy Robinson posted a blog article about the game on the VGC website that he works at now. Here's the link for those who haven't seen it elsewhere such as on twitter. https://www.videogameschronicle.com/blog/blog-how-vgc-will-cover-the-new-yooka-laylee-a-game-that-i-worked-on/ While there aren't a ...

I'm pleasantly surprised to see that it is both a 2D platformer AND a Yooka Laylee game. An excellent combination, in my opinion. It's also good to hear that this will not be considered to be taking the spot of a direct sequel to Yooka Laylee, so that there is still room for a 2nd 3D platformer star...

Wow, that was a really good comparison, and one I never thought much about before. Now I'm really curious as to what Yooka Laylee with the 64 bit tonic enabled would look like if it's played on an old fashioned TV. I think I might still have a small one somewhere. Guess I'll have to find some kind o...

No one?

Anyways, the issue still persists after the new update that came out on Steam today.

Have you turned off the Switch for a while and then played some more to see if the issue persists? I haven't played Yooka Laylee on the Switch yet, but I think I had a very similar sound issue one time when I was playing the new Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It was a subtle yet completely noticeable c...

Has anyone recently been having problems in Yooka Laylee with either Saving and Quitting, transitioning through doorway loading zones which contain an autosave, or autosaves in general? Yesterday I loaded up the game again to try and find the initials under the ramp in the first level which were dis...

Thanks for posting this. It was a good read.

How far into this levels development and the games development in general was Shovel Knight added into this level? Did the mission you do for Shovel Knight in this level already exist in some form before he was added in, or was it all added in after he was?

Congratulations!

Well this all seems perfectly reasonable to me. An extra chance for people to get a copy, I say. Very thoughtful of them to go out of their way to explain everything in such lengthy detail. It is, however, terrible to hear they're getting threats of violence over this. That's just completely insane....

Ah, very good. The Glitterglaze Glacier footage from the trailer definitely reminds me of old N64 style graphics. I wonder if Playtonic would consider allowing the cosmetic tonics to be enabled at the same time as 1 non-cosmetic tonic. It would be fun to try a playthrough with the 64 bit tonic AND t...

Here's a link to a Reddit AMA for the book.

It's also why I was infuriated by the Triforce statue mess earlier this year that can only have dampened Yooka fans willingness to trust other companies like mine. [...] you have every right not to trust other companies after Triforce stole folks preorder money earlier this year... including mine!)...

Given the apparent size of the world from the image on the Kickstarter, I'd be surprised if it was added as DLC. It looks big enough to be an entire expansion if that was the case. It would probably be more realistic for it to be used in a sequel. I wouldn't mind either case, though. ;) The graphic ...

Just in case anyone missed the update on Kickstarter today, the 10% discount code for backers has been reactivated and will be valid through the evening of Sunday September 30th.
