Playtonic shared what they claim to be the first ever sketch of Yooka the chameleon. While he doesn’t look as sleek or lean as he is in the final game,
But it’s a fun look at what we could have gotten instead!
We dug through the ancient Playtonic archives, dusted off some tomes and unearthed the first EVER sketch of Yooka.
We cornered artist @WinkySteve for comment, and he cheerfully remarked: "The fact I've never posted it tells you something. It isn't great." pic.twitter.com/iWu8oFojZA

Do you prefer the chunkier prototype version of Yooka over his final design in the Yooka-Laylee games? Personally I am more a fan of his ‘final form’. But what do you all think?
