Das Spiel hat ein wirklich saugeiles Art Design, die rote Schlange und der orangene Dino sind optisch klasse, Rextro Sixtyfourus, wer kommt denn auf sowas !
und erst die wunderschönen Artworks, da kommt was Großes !
Schau mal auf Seite 1 des Threads – da findest du einige schöne Fanzeichnungen

Finde ich auch.
Passend dazu ein Preview zum Soundtrack der ersten Welt

Da hab ich jetzt mal reingeschaut, auf die erste Seite, nett !
Der Soundtrack der Jungle World ist übrigens ein absoluter Ohrwurm !
Hier mal ein Akustik, Metal Remix davon, der auch echt großartig klingt, die Fans sind wahre Musiker !

Auf Facebook hat Playtonic Games folgenden Eintrag mit Foto hinterlassen:
We’re having a few framerate problems with the latest version of Yooka-Laylee…
Eine Weihnachtsbotschaft von Playtonic Games mit Ausblick auf 2016:
Merry Christmas!
Hurrah for Christmas: Playing video games! Over-consuming! Fights with relatives! If you saw how much cake the Playtonic team consumes in any given week, you’d be genuinely concerned for our welfare.
To say that 2015 was a dream come true for us is really no understatement. The team has been truly humbled and amazed by the reaction to Yooka-Laylee and we thank you all for your incredible support over the past 12 months.
Sitting here today in Playtonic HQ – expanded for the third time this month – it’s quite staggering to look back at the journey we started a year ago, when six of us were cramped into a space smaller than the average pub toilet, with scribbles of bats and chameleons on the walls
We couldn’t have made that journey without you. And so today the Playtonic team is more determined than ever to ensure that we repay the incredible support of our backers and fans by delivering a game worthy of your passion.
But first… we reward you with a spiffing holiday wallpaper:

.

Looking to 2016Since our crowdfunding campaign concluded in June we’ve more than doubled the size of our development team… and the growth spurt continues.
Over the coming months you can expect us to capture more exciting programmers and art people – either via the Jobcentre or an ingenious net-and-cake-type trap – who can improve the quality of our debut project.
And when, we hear you bellow from behind your Christmas pud, can you see what we’re cooking? Soon.
There are plenty of surprises being busily constructed within our four (actually, I think it’s now seven—no, eight) walls and you’ll get to see all of them tantalisingly laid out over the coming months as Yooka-Laylee nears puberty and we’re ready to show our hand.
Keeping everyone abreast of Yooka-Laylee’s progress has, it’s fair to say, been one of the grandest challenges of Playtonic’s maiden voyage. Most games announce themselves to the world when they’re a year or two into construction: we did it at 3 months, and we graciously request that you continue to be patient.
There’s sparkly stuff phasing into existence behind the scenes and we promise we’ll show it to you as soon as it’s ready, just as we have been with character, music and art reveals over the past months. And we’re pretty sure you’ll like what you see once it’s ready.
Then…
.
.
… and now (dev team and friends)
.
.Toybox update
Talking of patience, there’s another feature conspicuous by its absence this month…
Minion ConceptMany Kickstarter backers pledged for our modest ‘Toybox’ gameplay experience, which we promised would offer a small taste of Yooka-Laylee’s mechanics in a Q4 2015 release.
At the time of our campaign we were confident we could meet this deadline, but due to several circumstances – including external factors making our initial plans for a web-based player impractical – the Toybox has taken longer than expected to create.
Just like everything we do, we want the Toybox delivered to backers to be polished, fun and representative of the quality we’re shooting for with the final game – not just a blank box to run around in.
So now we’re looking to release the Toybox in early 2016. It’s still totally exclusive to Toybox Kickstarter backers and it will still arrive long in advance of the final game.
The extra bonus is we’re making double sure that the final experience you get will be polished to the highest standard. Years from now that’s what we hope you come to expect from Playtonic, and after the stellar support you’ve shown us in 2015, the last thing we want to do is disappoint you.
Thanks again for a super year. We’ll see you in 2016 for an even better one!

Bayliss goes permanentAs S Club 7’s HR team probably once said, there ain’t no update like an employment update – especially when it involves legendary character artist Mr. Kev Bayliss.
In his previous life, Kev was one of the first employees at Rare. As ‘Graphics Director’ he created the memorable character casts for a plethora of gaming classics including Battletoads, Killer Instinct, Diddy Kong Racing and StarFox Adventures.
However, the prestigious scribbler is perhaps most famous for his work forming the origins of Donkey Kong Country, working with Shigeru Miyamoto to create the modern Donkey Kong and sidekick Diddy (the DKC art team also included Playtonic employees Steve Mayles, Steven Hurst and Mark Stevenson.)
Kev’s been flirting (and sketching) with Playtonic for a while now, but clearly our new kitchen facilities have been enough to convince him to go steady. We’ll let him explain in his own words below.
See the Playtonic Team page for further staff-related analysis. For a more detailed catch up on Kev’s career read our Kev Bayliss interviewfrom last summer.
.
Welcome aboard, Kev!

After working at Rare for nearly 20 years (since the 80s!) it was nice to be able to take a break from games when I eventually left in 2005. I’ve worked on a few music and art projects since then, but I also missed being part of a video game team.The timing with Playtonic was perfect. After meeting up with the team last year it became obvious to me that this was something I had to be a part of. I hadn’t seen some of the Playtonic team for almost a decade, but the environment and dynamic they’d recreated at the studio felt as though I’d been transported back to the 90s – in a good way!
.
(One of Kev’s more hollow creations.)
.
For the past six months I’ve been travelling up and down the country to spend a couple of days a week with the team, but now I’m in the process of re-locating to work fulltime at Playtonic. This year my wife and I are moving much nearer to where the studio is located, and it’ll take me 15 minutes to get into work, rather than two hours. So that means more graphics, and speedier development time!I’m very pleased and feel very lucky to be connected to the company now”
To date I’ve really enjoyed contributing characters to Yooka-Laylee and working within the office environment. So far I’ve built a variety of silly characters for the game, from concept sketch right through to the final models and animation. I had to spend a bit of time getting back up to scratch with technology, but thankfully a few months of nagging the other artists sorted that!
In the future I’d love to rekindle some of the ideas I’ve had since leaving Rare, and help bring to life some of those even bigger, bolder character concepts that have been brewing in my head. I’ve so many ideas, old and new, so it’s going to be great fun filling that little logo-flask with more stars.
In short, it’s like old times, but new! There are fantastic group of people here and we all have the same ambitions. I’m very pleased and feel very lucky to be connected to the company now, and really excited about the future!

.Von David Wise gibt es ein neues noch in Arbeit befindliches Musikstück:
Error: Embedded data could not be displayed.
.Zu guter Letzt stellt sich ein neuer von Kev Bayliss erschaffener Charakter vor – Kartos!
“In true Playtonic fashion, we wanted to make this character as fun as possible. He’s old school, so we wanted him to look old fashioned, rather than modern. He actually looks like a bad DIY project by myself, and I’m sure I’ve seen some of his body parts lying around in my shed at home!”
.
.
“Yooka will be taking advantage of Kartos and his services, as he is for ‘hire’ at various stages in the game. And why not? After all, his slogan is ‘Mein Kart ist Ihre Kart’ after all!”Quellen:
