The ex-Rare employees at Playtonic Games are surely overjoyed that the Kickstarter for their Banjo-Kazooie spiritual successor, Yooka-Laylee, was fully funded a mere 40 minutes after its launch.

The Kickstarter for the project — which is still accepting donations and publishing new stretch goals — can be donated to here.

With the effort, Yooka-Laylee now holds the record for the fastest video game project to hit $1 million USD on Kickstarter.

Stretch goals met to date mean the title will see a simultaneous release on Windows PC, Mac, Linux, Wii U, Xbox One and PS4.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
