Port to Nintendo Switch?

[Apologies Milord]

Hear me out - can you imagine how much fun this game would be to carry around in your pocket? While the Switch is rather large for most pockets, I seriously think the Devs should reach out to Nintendo because based on the success of this game so far I'd say they'd be very interested.

Just a suggestion. Keep up the good work & I can't wait to see this game finished! ^_^

Yes I reckon this would be great!

Should be ported to the App store. Cuz it feels like a mobile game with less content.

This type of game is better with keyboard and mouse. I play a lot on consoles and on the PC. I don't stick with just one game type i play all and here is what I have learned.

For starters any game that is a RTS like for example star craft and turn based games like civilization both play better with keyboard and mouse for star craft needs the hot keys (a lot of hot keys) to micro your units faster. Civ needs a cursor (consoles all ways moves slower then the PC and when they don't its harder to control then the PC.


I'm not going to put all I've learned here for it does not apply. Simply put any game that needs a cursor is hell to play on consoles.

I agree with vallenshield. As cool as it would be on switch, it would be a nightmare to control.

do you not have enough indie trash on that toy already? i mean seriously, 90% of its library is 5 year old indie games to begin with. it doesnt have the kind of computing power TO run games like this without melting.

i dont even have a nintendo switch but I totally understand how awesome a portable kingdoms and castles would be

Switch runs gr8, if it can run Skyrim/Zelda perfectly fine I can absolutely guarantee it would run fine with the lowbit graphics this game runs off of. The game isn't even a quarter the size of half the games I have downloaded on the Switch.

As for the cursor bit, some things would be more annoying but building & controlling things wouldn't be too much of an issue with a static on-screen cursor. I've played plenty of RTS games on a console without M/KB and it was fine.

Whether you agree it wouldn't be trash or not, ya'll have to admit it'd be a great business idea for both companies. They'd both make money.

Well, the SWITCH does have an acceptable alternative to a mouse… it’s called a TouchScreen. Make the cursor compatible with the stick controller for docked-mode. But touchscreen in handheld-mode.
That’s faster cursor-ing!
