I hope they don't go too far.
DLC, not a big fan myself, but they said they will focus entirely on the game itself first.

I wouldn't be suprised if Retro bought Playtonic for use to become a "new" Nintendo IP . I'm excited for it , but I've never played a Banjo game .

I would. There's no reason for any company to "Buy" Playtonic at the moment. I can't even see what benefits Nintendo would get out of them based on what they're doing at the moment.

Let Playtonic be and don't send it back into the situation Rare got into. :p
(It's far to early to be talking about this anyhow)
 
Man, what ever happened to expansion packs? I mean, I guess it's a decent way to make money, but still. Announcing DLC before the game has even launched...

No, Nintendo wholly owns Retro, so they wouldn't buy them.
Plus Playtonic only has 7 people working for them.
Nintendo won't go around buying companies, last time they bought one was Monolith Soft, that was a while ago.
And I don't want to see Playtonic turn into Rare and have the whole sale happen all over again...
 
New Characters!

Playtonic Games said:
In their physical days these articulate phantoms were the scribes behind Yooka-Laylee's mysterious book worlds. However, following their suspicious demise the Ghost Writers' unsettled souls are now cursed to endlessly wander their creations in search of spectre salvation. Free their spirits for a special reward…


Yooka-Laylee's creative lead, Gavin Price explains: "The Ghost Writers haunting the book worlds will add a fun twist to collecting.  There are a variety of different types hidden in every world, each with their own unique requirement for being caught.

"Mix that with the different areas in which you'll find them, and hopefully they’ll result in a fresh challenge with every encounter. They’re like a living (un-living?) collectible."

Character artist at large, Mr. Steve(n) Mayles described the design process behind his band of ghouls: "As these characters aren’t based on any particular creature, it was good fun to go a bit crazy with them. And we are crazy guys at Playtonic Towers… never a dull moment, etc.

"The ghost was originally going to be one character, but I sketched so many thumbnails (50+) it sparked the idea of having 5 separate ghosts with different abilities."

The Ghost Writers are the third character reveal to date for Yooka-Laylee, following Trowzer and our heroes themselves. There are many more waiting in the wings, we promise.

Don’t forget you can still back the Yooka-Laylee Kickstarter – and now via PayPal too (£15k raised so far!) There are just 18 days left on the campaign as we chase that elusive £2M stretch goal. Thanks for your support!

The AMA is done.
Some notable information:
Steve Mayles designed a tiger, as well as a witch that had a broom with eyes as possible main characters.
Andy Robinson says some sort of a quiz will be near the end of the game.
Mark Stevenson has designed a Dinosaur character.
Steven Hurst, the environmental artist, is colour blind (not really game-related, but pretty amazing if you ask me).
