Thanks to the entire Playtonic team, Grant Kirkhope, Gavin Price, and many others for helping making this video a reality!

This video on Yooka-Laylee has actually been two years in the making, believe it or not. It all started when I interviewed Playtonic back in 2015. Since that point, I knew that I was going to be making a video on the development of Yooka-Laylee, but I head no idea it was going to be so long! So many changes were made throughout the game’s development, and it’s all covered in this video. Yep, Yooka-Laylee’s first ever title screen, the original HUB world, and even JonTron’s removed voice, it’s all here in one small, hour and 20 minute long package.

Enjoy!
