That snow pic...sweet mother of God.

I am so ready for this. I hope it breaks KS records (I know, it wont', but I can dream)

I am so happy this is happening. I cant wait to see what the banjo people do considering how much has evolved in the platformer genre in the last decade.

General Kickstarter question:

Say I back $15 for a digital copy of the game............and later decide I want to back more. Will my donations accumulate toward a greater incentive, or does each incentive have to be one lump sum?

I did advance my pledge on another KS. Should work here too.

 

[fabricated backlash]

Wasn't really all that hyped until I heard that Vine Music Tease.... All Aboard the Hype train.

Sounds like something that would fit right in in a Banjo game. Can't wait to hear more!

 

[bon]

Looks lovely.

 

[YianGaruga]

My hype levels are slowly rising...
If they're confirmed to be both female I'm pretty sure I'll back this and the last KS I did was Banner Saga

 

[Caffeine]

just off the music alone u know its gonna be GOAT

 

[Nirolak]

Going to take a guess and say that Yooka is female and Laylee is male.

Looking at the Vine I think you're right. The chameleon looks decidedly feminine.

I guess this track is called "Totally not Banjo-Kazooie".

 

[rob305]

HNNNNNNNGGG THE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yup looking at the facial expressions the bat looks male and chameleon female.

Well, that's awesome.

 

[DarkKyo]

Ohhh, I quite like them! This looks like a spiritual successor to Banjo Kazooie for sure. Might be the first kickstarter I ever go in on.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Yeah the orange eye shadow or whatever seals it. Even if its not literally eyeshadow its copying from kazooies eyeshadow.

 

[PSqueak]

there is music now?!

Buh-but im at work! O:

 

[Aostia]

I like the characters, the music is great, the animations are good, the wotld is colorfull, the concept arts are gorgeous

hopefully there will be a Wii u version too

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Does the gender really matter all that much? I don't remember the fact that Kazooie was a female impacting the game all that much. Just seems strange for it to stir up so much speculation in a game where you play as animals who look the same whether male or female. Weird that Playtonic is playing so much into it too.

Yeah my first Kickstarter too

Take a break!

The twitter account of the writer that was posted earlier fav'd a few tweets implying they are both female.

If you don't mind me asking, why is their gender such a deciding factor on whether or not you'd back it? Not trying to single you out or anything (anyone else with the same opinion could respond as well) but I'm just curious.

Why don't more games use xylophones? They are lovely.

Female protagonists are good marketing buzz at the moment in the indie scene. They'd be dumb not to play it up.

Its a hot topic now days

Something about it feels so good. I'm in for a PS4 copy.

It's definitely a subjective thing, but i personally disagree about the bolded, i think Kazooie being female enhanced her role as the sarcastic overtly rude one opposing Banjo's laid back straightman role.

Can't really tell you, I just prefer it for some reason. The all-male party of FF XV for example is really off-putting. It's also quite rare and should be rewarded.

 

[Dr. Buni]

A bat? Hnnnng. Day one. Hope one of them is a girl, doesn't really matter who.

Edit:

I am personally just tired of 90% of video games having boys as protagonists. So the gender* of the main character(s) is definitely important to me. Of course that isn't enough for me to decide if a game is worth buying or not, unless it is a RPG like FFXV, which I am never ever playing because of the dumb all male cast.

*Gender AND design. A girl protagonist wearing skimpy clothes equals nothing to me.

Grant Kirkhope music tease

It sounds beautiful

A direct hit to the nostalgia center of my heart. Guess it's time to back another kickstarter.

 

[Raven77]

The music...

The art...

The characters...my God I can't take this.

 

[Crayolan]

confirmed bruh

Pretty sure nothing is confirmed yet.

 

[Omnicent]

It's beautiful.... all of it (especially the music snippet).

This will be the first kickstarter that I will support. Hopefully it all turns out well for this game

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Not that I care but if they are both female it would be pretty fun if they both are talking shit lol. Kazooie ribbing people made the dialogue in the games fun. I didnt understand before when I was a kid but when I played Tooie some years back when it came out on XBL it was the best thing ever lol

 

[Catalix]

Oh my god that footage represents just the type of game I've been wanting to see this generation. That style! That openess! That roll move!

Really loving the name too. So clever and instantly has a nice ring to it. Yup, so far it seems like they're doing and saying all the right things.

 

[mrlion]

The legends have returned...I just wished the Stamper Brothers were part of this :/

 

[Delicious Waffles]

Oh, ok. I can understand that. Thanks for the response. Appreciate it.

 

[Aostia]

confirmed bruh

uh, I missed that, cool to know!

 

[kittens]

You might want to mention that this is the BK spiritual successor in the OP. I had to google Playtonic to figure out who they were, tho I had a hunch by the art.
