The title of ‘biggest kick-starter game ever’ has been recently earned by their new 3D game Yooka-Laylee. It has been launched today and fundraising hit the highest figures in just first 40 minutes. What’s more to come? Playtonic games did not have to do anything but call it as a successor of their 3D platform game the Banjo-Kazooie. The reason behind this success is not very obvious but it is speculated as the lack of good 3d platform games in the market for last two to three years.
Yooka-Laylee has just collected$270,000 as fund in first forty minutes of its release while the funding has to go on for 46 days. Let’s see what records are going to be set here on Playtonic games. This game has way passed its funding goal in first few hoursand it is going to get better with development. With this peak performance at funding, the same thing is expected from its delivery date which is October 2016.
In this game, an anthropomorphic lizard and a lady bat explore a magical 3D world together and gather coins on their way. According to a website named Kicktraq, Yooka-Laylee is quickly on its way to earn $25 million. The analysing process of this website is well trusted as it uses average pledges, funding period and some other available data to check out the success of any project. A former project of this company named ‘exploiting kittens’ made a record by earning $2 million in just 24 hours but Yooka-Laylee is expected to make this figure by the time you end reading this.
Yooka-Laylee had this destiny since the creation was started as reported by Andy Robinson the writer of platonic games. Robinson says “Since we first discussed this project at the beginning of the year the response has been amazing”. The game is being developed for various systems including PC, Mac, Wii U, Linux, Play station 4 and Xbox one.Playtonic is promising more development and improvements by the time product will come to the market. Robinson increases the hopes of customers by saying “much of our footage, though representative of our goals, will likely be unrecognizable compared to the final product — in a very good way.”
