How A Social Media Agency May Bolster Yooka-Laylee

By Arthur Williams


Video game projects on Kickstarter are nothing new. As a matter of fact, they've been around for a couple of years now, and a select few have been able to gain traction and adoration from those who consider themselves gamers. One of the current projects many people have their eyes on is known as Yooka-Laylee, which has become quite popular. However, one has to wonder how much popular it could be if a social media agency were to be used.

Yooka-Laylee, for those who aren't in the know, is a future video game that has been cultivated by many former employees of Rare. It's easy to see the influence of such games as Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64, both of which have amassed popularity during their releases as well. However, what makes Yooka-Laylee is that it has become something of a passion project for these individuals. As a result, it has been able to generate success unlike anything Kickstarter has seen beforehand.

When the Kickstarter page for Yooka-Laylee first went up, the goal was 175,000. What was surprising was that the goal was met in about a half hour, meaning that it didn't even take a single day for the amount in question to be reached. It's also worth noting that funding stopped at a sizable 2,090,000, making Yooka-Laylee the highest-funded UK video game endeavor in Kickstarter's history. Suffice to say, any social media agency should have taken notice.

In my opinion, firms like fishbat should prove to be useful in this scenario, especially when given the numerous services they can offer. Social media management is just one of them, as everything from Facebook to Pinterest can be covered. What about SEO, which is something that is more deeply integrated into Google? These are just a few of the possible uses that a social media agency, of the highest caliber, may be able to offer.

Without question, Yooka-Laylee is a project that many gamers have their attention focused on. There is plenty of promise to be seen, and it's clear that it's in the hands of the most reputable individuals as well. It's important to note that Yooka-Laylee is one of the few 3D platformers that has been able to gain traction, in an age where shooters are some of the most popular games out there. This project houses potential, which will hopefully be reached in due time.
