Console release?
Are there any plans for a console release once Early Acces is done?

agreed, the game is too complex both in how its played and a softwear side to really be viable for a console version. plus given the art style it would not sell great on them, thus less of a chance.

There are no plans for a console port at this point. The only point at which it would be a consideration is if PZ sells really really well, so a port could be outsourced. I don't think The Indie Stone will port the game themselves outside of the PC/Mac/Linux platform.

Why do you think that? Lone Survivor were popular on the consoles.

Other reasons:

1: It's a pain, coding the game again is something that isn't profitable in itself.

2: You'd have to put it on the indie market (So fail), get it on arcade (Still fail) or sell it on a disc (Lose any and every ounce of profit unless the game sold like hot-cakes).

3: Indie team.

And the optional 4:

4: PC Mastar rece

Why would it be a fail on arcade. They would still make 15$ per sale. State of decay made plaenty why they actually came out with dlc which was a surprise. I'm pretty positive this is above the fun/replayability of most arcade games. I can see it not only selling well but beating every other arcade game out there. Except maybe Minecraft unfortunatley...

No one would buy on arcade, it isn't known enough.

Neither was state of decay. I saw it said ooh zombies open world survival that was good enough for me didnt need a commercial. But I suppose most people dont like zombies as much either . Or do they

And by the time its finished im sure it will have a large enough folowing

Not on the Xbox though, anyone who wants to play it would have played it by then.
