This page details one or more prototype versions of Yooka-Laylee (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux).

The Toybox is a "pre-alpha" build of Yooka-Laylee released on July 28, 2016. This build was created separate from the final game to give Kickstarter backers a chance to test out the game and give feedback to the developers.

Unused Graphics#

Placeholder/Miscellaneous#

Placeholder

Finalized

A placeholder talking head sprite for Dr. Quack. The finalized sprite was taken from a leftover sprite sheet for Dr. Quack which can be seen below and is pre-rendered instead of a drawing.

A set of unused collectible items, specifically a Casino Chip, a Play Token, and a cute little rotating grey cube that was probably used for testing. As a small side note: at the time that this demo was released, it was not known what the Casino Chip actually was.

A Wii U logo. Since the Wii U version of Yooka-Laylee was cancelled, this logo was never used in any version of the game due to the discontinuation of the console about 3 months earlier.

Talking Heads#

These are all unused sprite sheets for talking head animations. These characters either never appear or never speak in Toybox. The Yooka and Laylee sprites can be seen in a pre-release trailer.

The internal names for "Yooka" and "Laylee" in various files are "Cam" (for "Chameleon") and "Batty" respectively.

The texture for Pagies features a nicely written Lorem Ipsum.
