I kind of hope they rest the platforming for a little while after this and try something utterly unrelated.

Maybe a fighter or a racer - more strings to the company's bow would mean they become much more acclaimed and impressive.

If YL does come out on Switch in 2018, any remaining goodwill might finally evaporate.

This looks very intriguing.

Also: IT'S OUT NOW FOR FREE!!

According to SteamSpy, close to 100K on Steam alone. http://steamspy.com/app/360830 That's a good start, all things considered. Does it include sales which were eventually refunded as well? Because there was a brief phase where people deliberately bought then asked for a refund on Steam due to a lo...

It's still that case that YL on Nintendo Switch will be digital only, right?

I love the Wii U version, touchscreen gadgets make it a much more engaging experience.

Messrs Stamper have launched the first game of their new company. It's REALLY engaging:

Bringing this one back to ask: how has YK sold so far, do we have data?

The more I think about it, the more I think Playtonic should do something utterly dissimilar to YK.

If this company is going to become major, it needs a lot of feathers in its cap and a varied portfolio.

I'd say November. Just in time for Christmas.

This could be a good way of raising funds for future projects once Yooka-Laylee has finished:

A kickstarter for a second game would likely go down badly, but going to a major player with the offer of reviving an old IP or some such would go down better.

I'm totally indifferent to online multiplayer.

Playtonic should do what Messrs Stamper did in the late 80s:

Make some extremely impressive demoes and examples of what they can do, show them off to Nintendo and thus convince the Big N to invest.

I'd like Playtonic to do something unrelated before doing another platformer - that way, they can use whatever experience/new characters from that new project in the second YL.

After that, I hope they have a thorough look at YL before starting on a sequel, to see what works and doesn't work.

I think it would be more interesting if they used the characters they create as actors, so the designs appear in other games but they could have vastly different roles and characterisations. So Yooka could show up, but is playing a totally different role/character. Hate that idea. One of the worst ...

They're VERY mixed:

Sheer poetry.
