Any plans for nintendo switch?

[SickSalamander]

This game seems perfect for a platform like that!

Why? Explain your reasoning? How would this game benefit from a tiny screen and limited memory, and super expensive license? Not to mention they are still in Alpha and they don't even know where they are going. :)

Some people are not in front of their desktop most of the time and prefer playing on the couch or on a device that they can store in their pocket...I guess.
Handheld devices may be greatly inferior in every regard but mobility, but well, you gain the mobility aspect. When travelling, it's still gonna be more useful than your desktop.

All true, Wyvrias, I guess a commitment to mobile should be a priority after the game is flushed out and successfull on the bigger platforms.

It certainly won't be a priority till the 1.0 release, if at all. Linux support is coming up soon, Mac support is planned for 1.0, and other platforms have not even be really talked about yet.

mac support? I assume you are using compute shaders for your PCG? Mac does really support those without using some odd api. all of its commonly used apis are very dated.

Linux support, Yes, that will be nice. If they can get the Linux version running OSX shouldnt be that hard.

Agree %100. Since Fortnite is in Early Acess technically, it seems Nintendo is not requiring games to be in a finished state in order to be available on the eShop. But then again, Fortnite is "free", smh

Fortnite has taken the Battle Royale hype and brought it to another level.
Sony and Nintendo would be foolish to let the chance of tons of free PR and possibly a cut of the revenue slip through their fingers.

Essentially, games like Fortnite are an exception to to their absurd popularity.
