21:9 Ultrawide support?
I'm curious to know if it's gonna support 21:9, I'm not sure if that would be a unfair advantage (because you can see much more of the scenario) but I really hope it has it, I don't wanna play with black bars lol.

The game will still run, but regardless of hardware aspect ratio the playable area will be 16:9.

if the game supports 21:9 then I'll buy it on PC where I use an ultrawide. if not then I'll buy it for the PS4 and just play on my TV

That was exactly what I was thinking, guess I'll just buy on PS4, I don't think I can wait 2-3 weeks for steam

Guess I'll stick with the PS4 version then, thank you.

It's not laziness but design, extending the view so that widescreen players can see further away would change gameplay significantly.

I had a feeling that was the reason why.

I understand that people with expensive hardware want to use it as much as possible (even I get a little bummed out when a new game doesn't go over 60fps), but it's important not to feel spoiled or entitled and demand that devs alter their work and vision to meet those requirements. In the gaming world, the needs of software are more important than the needs of hardware

What about adding borders like they do in Hades?

It doesn't affect gameplay and is a nice touch.

I don't know why this isn't more popular. Easy fix, everybody is happy! Heck, you could even have some of the UI on the sides, showing current score, bombs, ropes, and all that jazz. Utilise that space my dudes.

No its LAZINESS why are you opting for me what i may like or not? Just give proper support for PC or dont release it to PC at all. The only reason im keeping this game is because i normally use my TV (16:9) when a game plays better with controller but i would love to sometimes play on my monitor. Stay safe LAZY devs.

What's so hard to put 21:9? Also how does it offer an advantage? It's ♥♥♥♥♥♥ to feel those black bars knowing you've put money into your monitor.

I don't think the devs are lazy, even if I disagree with their logic. Doesn't keep me from enjoying the game, but if someone comes up with a mod or something to account for it I'll certainly be happy. I hope at the very least they do some like what SuperGiant games did and put in something aside from the black bars on either side, because it looks a little tacky.
