Is multi-platform the problem?

[turvarya]

This has been my most anticipated game for years now and I defended Team Cherry for a long time "just be patient", but I wonder, what the real reason for the delay is. Is it because they for some reason(money?) want to release this on all the platforms at once and this is just a stupid idea?
There are games, that released first on some console, which I don't have and than it took 1+ years for it to come to PC. I was fine with that.
But the strategy here, seems to be to make it perfect for all the platforms, before releasing it and sorry, but that is just pissing everybody off and is just not in the interest of the fans.
Am I wrong here?

They just wanna make a game and do not care about how a part of the community feels about the silence. They just make the game and will be like: here, a trailer, in two weeks you get it.
And if the xbox statement is true, which it most definitely is, we will get a trailer atleast some time in late may, early june.

No, it would be the first official one if it happens.

Well, it is a platformer.

They have to test all the platforms.

They don't want the main character to fall off the platforms or not be able to reach the platforms they need to reach when using the jump ability to jump to the next platform.

Therefore, in conclusion, I think they should take as much time as they need to perfect all the platforms in the game.

Yeah, thats pretty much it.
A team of 3 people trying to make a game for 5 different platforms at the same time takes forever.

They even seem to downgrade certain aspects of the graphics now, like blurring out all of the backgrounds to save time and make it run on every platform.

I saw this link about blur in an older post: https://twitter.com/mossbag69/status/1539813582858326017?lang=en

in the edge magazine they explained they had to trash the whole game once because they've built it thinking of the knight instead of hornet. since hornet is more acrobatic and has a bigger hitbox for being taller the game would feel off when playing with a character that is not meant to play with
