Console Version? Switch Port?

[Davidson Donuts]

That'd be cool. I meam its pretty obvious after seeing the sucess of Stardew Valley on Consoles that it only makes sense to port it.

Checking their website is obvious too. They literally just said it was coming.

Switch, No. Xbox One, Yes. And that post was in April, so not *exactly* just said. Not sure if the Switch will be able to handle this game (it's not the GPU... this game tracks TONS of stuff, so it's all CPU. And I've read that the switch is mostly GPU based. Would have a hard time with this game. Heck Xbox One/PS4 will have it's processor chugging at max.

Well, I guess literally as in literally the first post on the blog they've been using since day one to make any huge announcements, so it's quite hard to miss. It's not like the Twitter where it's hard to find one specific post.

Just a while ago we had someone automatically assuming the game was "dead" cause they only check Steam for their news source for the game. Seems to be an ongoing trend.

Xbox One is what's listed... they've mentioned NO other console other than Xbox.

tbh im disappointed. I mean, the whole console release thing is already bad as it is, but theyre gonna release it on the console the least amount of people are playing? Either its easier to port this to xbox one, or they dont seem to understand which console would rake them in the most cash.

It's definately the easiest to port to. Xbox is mostly a windows lite computer. It's absolutely the easiest to port a PC game to. Chucklefish is small, with an inordinately artist based population. Of course they're going for the easiest port first. And judging on the amount of money that brings in, base their priorities accordingly.

Ah, well at least they're not overworking themselves with a port to an actually good console I suppose. Although I do hope that the most likely mediocre amount of cash this brings in for them goes mainly to Starbound.

This game is falling apart on PCs so Switch is out of question, it's too weak. Your only solution right now will be Xbox because it's basically just another PC. They wont bother re-coding this entire messy game etc so forget about this game on the consoles really. Sad I know but that's the reality.

Joke channel, makes a bunch of joke vids about nintendo switch ports and other nintendo related things.

Was thinking it was strange. Since they've only mentioned xbox right now (since xbox, of all the consoles, is basically a cheap non-expandable Windows PC, and thus only console controls need to be "ported"). Given the fact that the switch uses cloud saves, and this game would quickly strip ANY economically possible cloud storage capacity very quickly due to the files made on every world. And the fact that mods are practically an imposibility with any console other than the xbox due to their setup. I'm afraid that laptops will be the only mobile solutions possible with this particular game, due to the massive storage requirements necessary.

I am pretty sure that Chucklefish is focused only on the Xbox version because of the ability to mod the game. I read something a while back concerning SONY not liking the idea of external assets being added for a few reasons when Bethesda tried to approach them with the idea of modding The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 4 for the PS4.
