Yooka-Replaylee Demo – Developer Commentary!

The development team had to say the following via a Steam blog post:

“We’ll be showing off some new content in the New Year, as well as bringing you a wrap-up of what we’ve revealed so far since June in the coming weeks, so stay tuned for that!

Also worth mentioning, that YES, we’re going to discount Yooka-Replaylee if you own Yooka-Laylee (On Steam, and working with the console platforms to ensure this too) and YES we are still listening to your feedback on what we reveal so far, I can’t promise anything as we’re all very busy bees but as the Community Manager, I’m seeing your comments and feeding back everything!

That’s all for now, new friends, see you soon!”
