Work on Playtonic’s Yooka-Laylee is progressing nicely, as the team have just issued a blog update showcasing some of the artwork inspired by their level creation, as well as a quick concept sketch of a new NPC that Yooka and Laylee will encounter within the very first level of the game. Here’s the skinny on the update and the image above:

One new character you may have spied in a recent issue of Edge is the slender lass below. Crayoned by our own Kev Bayliss, this yet-to-be-named NPC will require Yooka and Laylee’s assistance on the very first world of the game. Obviously she’s forgot to turn the iron off or something and they’ll need to go and get the spare keys off her landlord.

As for the new concept art, it was done by Dean Wilson and was unveiled this past weekend at the EGX show in the UK. Click on the image below to see it in its full glory.
