64 bit tonic?

I thought the 64 bit tonic would unlock after 100%ing the game. I did it, including collecting the 5 pirate treasure skulls, but the tonic is still locked.
How do you unlock it?

You may have noticed that we’re continuing to be mysterious and quiet here in the Playtonic dev bunker. That’s simply because we’re all heads down, buzzing like union worker bees, spawning some of the cool stuff we hope to get into your hands in the near future.

And that of course includes the remaining Yooka-Laylee Kickstarter stretch goals, such as the dev commentary series, additional content and the ’64-Bit’ tonic, which we’re working on right now. You can see a *work-in-progress* (dework-in-progress?) image of the latter below!

In short: we’re alive, we’re listening and we have fun stuff headed your way.

Thanks again for your continued support. There’s lots of exciting stuff going on behind the scenes that we hope you look forward to!

And in the meantime, for those with friends or family who own a Nintendo Switch, Yooka-Laylee is currently 25% off on the Nintendo eShop until July 13! Check it out on the UK store or US store.

Main thing you need to know is they verified that they are still working on Yooka-Laylee regardless so there's that.

Here's the image from the Email.

Let me know if that imgur link works, Xandeta. I don't use imgur much so I don't know if it's public. When I say I don't use it much that's literally the second time I've used it.

Yes, it works!

I don't think it really looks like Nintendo 64, though. Too many polygons on characters and environment, and the textures are too high resolution (even if it's low res for today's standards).

Compare it to the original Banjo-Kazooie:

Well remember that's from July 10th and they've stated it's a work in progress. My guess is what ever they're working on is moderate in size and will ship with the 64-bit tonic.

Couldn't tell you when though we've received like 8 more updates since that email and it's mostly regarding the Switch version if I recall correctly.
