Nintendo Switch Version Updates

[Bishop Dynamic]

@Creepy Jar

I own this game on PC and the Switch. I play a lot on my Switch when I travel around and it is seriously disappointing how far behind in content and quality of life updates it is. Would it be possible for you guys to take control of the switch version and actually start updating for it? The company you hired to port the game has completely abandoned it and has no plans to continue with the project. It's really awful, cause it actually runs ok and is still pretty fun on the switch, but it is missing so much now. It would be super awesome if you could get the project back and start bringing it up to par with the other console versions. That's pretty much my biggest wish for the game right now. I enjoy it on pc, but it is so fun to have on the go with the switch.

Forever Entertainment is one of the worst porters/publishers on the Switch, and it's become a big red flag for me whenever somebody hands off their work to them. They do this time and again where they'll make a pretty awesome port and then fail in the last mile, leaving us with terrible controls, and not even quality-of-life updates. At least their prices and quality race each other for the bottom.

Forever Ent. said they're going to update Switch version next year.

@still_unchained I bought it cause it was on sale and only like a couple dollars. It made me want to get it on Steam so I did. But I would still play it on the Switch with my girlfriend. After a while when we would compare it to the pc version and other console versions, we started to get seriously disappointed. When we didn't see any updates we started trying to research it if there was anything planned and yeah nothing. After like a couple hours of searching online I found one very buried tweet saying they had no plans to continue with the project.

@CreepyJarDev_Alicia While that does make me somewhat happy, I am unfortunately not going to put much stock into this statement. With no information from them directly on the subject that I can find and the fact that people have to dig deep to find the few statements they have made on the project, it makes it hard to believe they are genuinely going to continue with it. If they release a statement saying this themselves, maybe I will be more optimistic. I don't have any knowledge of licensing and ip rights, but I do genuinely wish you guys would take control of the Switch version. I would rather wait two or more years for you guys to come out with a competent update to the game for Switch then rely on a third party developer who has made no effort to communicate with the community on the future of the product to come out with one, even if as you say they plan to release an update sometime next year. It doesn't meet any of the standards of quality your studio has put forth with the pc and console versions. That is not subjective. Your team clearly cares and is trying to improve the game, while they don't and are not.

I will say that if there is one thing I am genuinely disappointed with your guys studio, it's that you left the switch project in their hands. That and that we don't have the building update yet, lol. That joke aside though, given the history of these companies to do exactly this and take advantage of licensing and ip rights; For example the situation with The Fun Pimps: 7 Days To Die and The Tell Tale Games/Iron Galaxy port of that game to consoles, where The Fun Pimps basically lost control of the entire project and rights to it on consoles, having to buy back their own game essentially. I am left wondering why you would ever choose to go that route. It actually makes me a little sad because they just don't care, and you leaving it in their hands makes me feel like you guys don't care much about the quality of the Switch port either. Not to rail on you guys, I just know that you do care more than that and it's sad to see a game I love so much be so mistreated by a third party. It makes you guys look bad through no real fault from your team.

is the switch version still not updated with the latest pc versions of green hell? then im not going to buy it even on sale. i would like to have the same updated version as the pc like the buildingupdate. if a third party is lacking updates of the game then why would people buy it?
the gameplay would be so different. and that is making you guys Creepy jar getting a bad name. I really hope the nintendo switch version would be updated too

Even if you did hand over the porting job to them, it is kinda sad seeing your own creation/ passion project being treated this way.

It still says Creepy Jar right after Forever Entertainment. Makes both companies look bad.
