Hello fine people, platformer enjoyers and dare I say it... friends?

I come with glad tidings and a new video for you! I (Steve, hello!) sat down with Gavin Price, Supreme Glorious Leader Game Director on Yooka-Replaylee for a bit of a chin-wag about the game, the progress we're making and some of the key differences both IN this demo that we shared with media and also some of the changes that have happened SINCE this demo was first shown!

Get this in yer eye holes:



Some of the topics covered while I fumble around with a controller, trying to listen to my boss...

- Coinelius' coins' new colour — Coinelius, the helpful piggy bank and new character edition to Yooka-Replaylee has already undergone a change with his beautiful platinum coins having stolen the golden hues of the Quill because...

- Level-specific Quills — Having given up their golden coat to Coinelius' coins, Quills now come in a variety of colours as they become specific to the level the player is currently in. Why is this? Because our crafty salesman Trowzer has gotten pickier over the years.

-Trowzer's new wares — The role of Trowzer is fundamentally changing in Yooka-Replaylee with a whole new set of wares to sell. What these wares are we are not ready to reveal quite yet.

- All moves from the beginning — In one of the bigger changes to the game, and why the role of our beloved salesman has changed, is that players will have access to the full arsenal of Yooka and Laylee's moves from the start of the game.

- New Pagie pieces collectible — A new collectible has joined the roster in the form of Pagie pieces. Collecting these will unlock additional bonuses.

- Levels available in their "expanded" stage from the start — In another change to the original Yooka-Laylee, levels will now be available in their entirety from the very start.

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!

I am super proud and excited to announce the next title of Zillo Games: Whiskers and Wizardry!

The game follows the exciting world of spellcrafting from Margoq's Lair, but takes a completely different take on it, where there's less focus on finger-twisting and more focus on the tactical aspects of crafting your spells.

Inspired by Magicraft, Wizard of Legend and Spell Disk, Whiskers and Wizardry aims to provide a gaming experience which heavily encourages experimentation and exploitation of the overwhelming amount of builds and synergies.

Warning: this article contains spoilers for the main game!

Creating a character is a complex and fascinating process. The story of Larisa Filatova, Facility 3826's neurosurgeon, is an excellent example. She's a highly skilled professional and an idealist who plays a significant role in the plot thanks to her intelligence, manipulative nature, and moral ambiguity. She combines feminine strength and the ability to stand up against injustice, representing a collective, modernized portrait of a heroine in a sci-fi setting.



Character Concept
Larisa Filatova was designed as a strong female character who reflects modern beliefs about intelligence and independence. We wanted to stay away from the stereotypical image of a scientist in a lab coat and glasses, so we made Larisa a tomboy. She's someone who can easily find a common language with men, who isn't afraid of rough edges, and who stays true to herself in any situation.



Relationship with Petrov
Larisa's storyline didn't take shape right away, but her relationship with Petrov became an important part of it. Initially, she was just a guide for the hero, but in the final stage of pre-production, we decided to expand her role and add a personal motive related to the conflict over Sechenov's plans. Despite her feelings for Petrov, Larisa doesn't approve of his methods. She opposes the idea of suppressing the will of those who participate in Kollektiv 2.0 program and is willing to fight for her principles.



Appearance Evolution
Like other characters, Larisa's look went through numerous variations, from the classic "lab coat scientist" to more extravagant and spectacular ones. The team didn't only consider making her a young woman, but also an elderly scientist, as well as a foreign specialist named Laura, who had come to gain experience. After much discussion, the name Larisa was chosen.

However, there was one part of her look that stayed the same from the very beginning: her bright, memorable hairstyle that sharply contrasts with the rest of her appearance. Since her character is based on the image of an idealist with a strong internal conflict, her purple hair further highlights her freethinking and hidden protest.



Creation Process and Technical Considerations
Larisa's development took a long time. At the initial stage, a model was created with a universal appearance, and a distinctive hairstyle was immediately chosen. Later, when the actress was brought on to the project, more attention was given to the details of her clothing, which was partly inspired by the style of Balmain, especially her shoes and pants. The heels were added later to enhance the character's femininity. Interestingly, once we added the heels, we had to correct her gait since the mocap actress had been wearing flat soles. To adjust this, we created a separate development branch to fine-tune Larisa's movements under the new conditions.



Conclusion
The history of Larisa Filatova's creation is an example of how an intriguing character can be born at the intersection of creativity and technology. Her image took a winding path from the initial concept to final implementation, but her key features—strength, moral ambiguity, and independence—remained unchanged. These qualities make Larisa stand out among other characters and add an element of unpredictability to the storyline.

After many ups and downs, I'm pleased to announce that Alien Bugs Invade Earth has a successor that will be coming out soon!

Sometime at the end of December 2024, look for "2024: Aliens Are Coming" in early release.

The company for both 2023: Alien Bugs Invade Earth and 2024: Aliens Are Coming shut down earlier this year, but I was successfully able to transfer these games to a new company. Despite this significant hiccup, development has successfully transitioned away from the Unity Engine to the Godot Engine.

Unfortunately, this means that 2023: Alien Bugs Invade Earth will remain feature and story incomplete, as I will not risk activating any of Unity Engine's license agreements by updating the game, but the story and gameplay will live on in 2024: Aliens Are Coming as well as other games that are further down the pipe.

I'm sorry for the delay, but since this next game is based on open-source software, I can promise this time that the story will continue to move forward!

(Also, I learned my lesson from this game, and it's not going to be nearly as text-heavy. It turns out reading is less painful if there's less of it and you have voice-acting to go along with it! This does mean, however, that development is *far* more complex and time-consuming than it used to be. That's fine though, because I figured quality over quantity was the right way to go.)
