Update Announced: Camera Fixes, Skipping Cutscenes, and More

[Andre]

Yooka-Laylee has been in the wild for two whole weeks and we’ve been positively overchuffed by the response from fans and backers around the world! We’ve very much enjoyed reading your feedback, lurking on your livestreams and absorbing your lovely comments, so thanks again for the support! It’s been emotional.

Thanks to you lot, some 20 developers remain off the streets, mostly fed and in a stronger position than ever to continue creating colourful, personality-plump adventures!

But first… we’ve got some spit ‘n’ polish to deploy.

In the days since launch – and as we work with speed towards the Nintendo Switch – the dev team has been frogmarched back down into the development mines to uncover our next big game update, which will add significant improvements and introduce some of the most requested features.

That means stuff like the optional ability to skip dialogue faster, bypass cutscenes or reduce those pesky gibberish voices, which should please the speedrunners among us. We’ll also be adding a sprinkling of design polish throughout the adventure and by popular request, changes to how the camera operates (gif the image on this page a look).

You can expect a more detailed breakdown of the game update in the coming weeks, as we continue to tinker around with the coding furnace.

At least they're acknowledging the Switch version still exists... I imagine all these updates will come with that version

The ability to reset a challenge without quitting out would be nice. No option to skip cut-scenes only ever annoyed me during the final boss. Curious as to how much the camera will change.

making text speed up is so welcome

For pc, I find it kind of annoying that you need to exit to the main menu to fiddle with display options. I hope they could fix that in the future
