The Kickstarter for Yooka-Laylee, the spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie that was announced in April, is humming right along, having earned more than £1.5 million ($2.4 million) on a goal of £175,000 ($274,000). But if that total can be pushed past the £2 million mark in the 35 days before the clock hits zero, Playtonic Games says the first DLC release will be free for all backers.
Presumably to head off complaints about content being cut from the game and held back for release as DLC, the studio emphasized that work on the the additional material won't begin until after the game itself is in the hands of backers. "When—and only when—we’ve finished and shipped the full version of Yooka-Laylee, we’ll start work on additional content that will be distributed to backers free of charge for their platform of choice," it added. "And again, all additional funding will of course go towards improving and polishing the game."
The Yooka-Laylee Kickstarter runs until June 16.
