Yooka-Laylee reaches Kickstarter funding goal in under an hour

NE:
Yooka-Laylee may end up as one of the most-successful video game-related projects on Kickstarter. Playtonic just launched the campaign at 12 PM ET / 9 AM ET, and has already secured funding. The team was looking to raise £175,000 ($270,041) and that mark has already been surpassed.

That was impressive!

The gaming community as a whole is amazing. Impressive indeed.

oh my god. Ukulele, took me long enough! jeez

Nice, I doubt I will back it now, but most likely will buy it when it's released.

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

I'm having issues seeing the page: is it confirmed to be funded for all console formats, or are different consoles in later stretch goals?

[RyanShutup]

XboxOne, WiiU, and PS4 releases are the last stretch goal of $1000000, it's well on it's way to achieving that tho, I wouldn't worry about it

[One-Shot]

That's a stretch goal for day 1 with with steam release. All platforms are funded now.

[One-Shot]

All formats, but as of right now different launch dates.

[RyanShutup]

You're right! Thanks for correcting me above.

[Summons75]

It is confirmed and if they reach a million in support they will get released on the same day. They are already 600k, they will be there before the end of the day.

I don't think I like the character designs or animal choice :/ I'm sure they will fit contextually with the game, but they don't quite have the same appeal as Banjo, Conker, Crash, Donkey Kong & Spyro do.

[hells_supernova]

I think that is because you haven't played it. Any of those characters without their legacy are just strange animal humanoid things. But within their universe they are incredible

[TheLeapist]

I kinda agree. They're alright enough. I think if they gave the chameleon a little bit of clothing (a vest, or a necklace or pants or something) it could really help add some character.

[Angainor7]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessss!!!!!! !!!

[KryptoniteTail]

Really happy about this. I wish Vita was included, though. I doubt this will be incredibly taxing on PS4 hardware; if Wii U can run if, I am sure a scaled down Vita version is impossible (though difficult).

[OpieWinston]

There's always one... Comes to 4 platforms and there's always that one person who wants it on 3DS/Vita.

I get that you want one but they don't want to scale down their game to accommodate other platforms.

[Ristul]

Will this game have physical release or is it download only?

[Kevlar009]

Physical is the more pricier tier. My guess is only digital for the main release. Being independent is a solid reason why.

[Ristul]

I only saw physical for PC, guess we will have to wait and see. I backed the game anyhow.

[Kevlar009]

It's been getting about 1 thousand every minute, been up for about 5 hours now. With 46 days left they will easily pass the 1 million mark.

[jay2]

they have 500K, they should now employ more staff immmeditly and get a 2nd game up and running! Star citizen 2 on kickstarter

[Relientk77]

Thats awesome, good. We need the return of 3D platformers

[ShinyCatnip]

I am just thrilled. A colorful, adventurous, original 3D platformer. I love it. It's ambitious and I truly hope it pays off. I'm one of those backers and I'm proud!

[sourav93]

Too colourful. Not brown enough. No lens flare. No killstreaks. No season pass. Main character does not hold a gun on the box art. No box art.

It's a no from me.
