Innuendo Reigns Free as a Trouser Snake Joins the Yooka-Laylee Party

A 'flash, wheeler dealing serpent' in a pair of khaki shorts slithers into Yooka-Laylee as the first revealed supporting character. 'Trowzer', a "business-snake whose career never took off" is the combination of efforts between creative lead Gavin Price and character artist Steve Mayles at PlayTonic Games and may be a sign of the humour to come in Yooka-Laylee.

"The smug, serpent salesman thinks he's the bee's knees (not that he has knees), and for a little dosh he'll teach you some of the slick moves he picked up on the high-stakes sales floor" says Price, "he’ll take your money and count it (he’s an Adder…) and because he knows best he’ll even demonstrate the moves you just bought for you to replicate… if you can follow his jiggling.”

Mayles added, “I didn’t want him to be a snake in the traditional sense, and when Gav suggested he should have shorts on (do I have to add shorts to all of my characters?!), a great idea for this was his body could curl back up through the other leg hole. So he’ll move with a certain springiness, which will be fun to animate.”

We hope to be seeing more and more updates from the hugely successful Yooka-Laylee Kickstarter campaign as the game just broke £1,500,000 which is a huge amount compared to the asking price of £175,000.
