Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 11 Comments
Yooka-Laylee’s Kickstarter success is no secret. The campaign reached its $270,000 target in under an hour, and has gone on to raise over $2.1 million.
The strong support demonstrated for Yooka-Laylee is leading to a couple of records. First, the title reached $1 million in funding faster than any other game on Kickstarter. It’s also on track to be the most-successful game campaign in the UK.
Developer Playtonic confirmed on Twitter a few minutes ago:
Just in from @kickstarter: #YookaLaylee hit $1M funding faster than any other game & on course to be UK's most successful game campaign

The Yooka-Laylee Kickstarter is located here. Amazingly enough, there are 41 days left before it ends!

Playtonic on the Yooka-Laylee character names
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
Playtonic’s new 3D platformer is called “Yooka-Laylee”. As it turns out, those are also the names of the game’s lead characters. Yooka is the chameleon while Laylee is the bat.
So how’d Playtonic come up with those names anyway? In a new website interview, artist Greg Mayles explained:
It was planned like this from the start. Yes, that’s right. It wasn’t just a happy coincidence that ‘Ukulele’ splits so well into two character names, honest.
Actually, someone on the team picked up a Hawaiian dictionary and apparently ‘’uku’ means ‘a small brained person’ and ‘lele’ means ‘to fly’ or, excitingly, ‘to get off of a vehicle’. That’s definitely not a coincidence either.
Yooka-Laylee came to Kickstarter last week, and quickly surpassed its $270,000 funding goal. Over $2.1 million has been raised thus far.
