Native Instruments is in preliminary insolvency
An administrator has been appointed for the brand behind the likes of Maschine, Traktor, Massive and Kontakt, according to reports
This is huge and potentially terrible news, their product portfolio is like 60% of the entire music industry.
Kontakt alone is huge for so many people (myself included) so it'll be interesting to see what happens π¬

It's absurdly good. Mind-boggling amount of work has gone into it and all the extra pre-race/in-between race dynamic stuff they've added all works so well.

I think that sound was my voice. I remember thinking it sounded too much like Toad, but I never got around to changing it π

Yooka & Laylee got a glow-up, so of course, the soundtrack had to as well. πΆ Brand-new tracks + fully orchestrated classics from Wise, Kirkhope, Burke, Murdoch & Griffin β with the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra bringing it all to life. Turn it up! π
Yooka-Replaylee launches October 9th.

I don't really know what I'm on about most of the time, but Mr Linneman does. Heed his advice on all things performance and platformers! π

Suth has one of the craziest CV's a voice actor could ever dream of, despite primarily being a programmer.
Always great to have him in the booth!ποΈ

You're right, the original is amazing. Assumed it might be because of nostalgia but it's still so so good

I have a poor memory and it was a long time ago, plus stuff probably got cut long before it reached audio! Your best bet for that would be finding someone who worked in Designπ

Hah! Yeah that was my first project as lead sound designer. One of, it not my favourite project during my time at Tt.
We had a really great team with lots of experience on handheld consoles and lots of creative freedom, it was a blast to work on π₯·

Let's try this again...
I'm Matt, I've been working in games for about 12 years now, shipped about 10 of them (most of them Lego games in the first few years) and I now make music and sounds for Playtonic Games.
Currently working on Yooka-Replaylee! π¦π¦
