Will you focus on releasing the game on PC now or will that have to wait until after ps4?

I love this game, it makes me sad so see all the problems it has currently.

Can we get a full and proper PC release first please? Ie. one that matches the marketing or at least isn’t plagued with issues.

Also, why are they called exclusive heroic deeds when they’re just run of the mill low level trash deeds, if memory serves?

Would love to get info on the state of things for us Playstation side. I know transparency isn’t the norm but maybe some news? Is it coming to xbox first because of marketing reasons or is there an issue with the ps4 port? Is there an estimated time frame on the ps4 beta? Anything at all?

They have a deal with Microsoft be ready for a extensive wait I would guess. However when it does land it should have more content at least I would hope.

Since we are a small company to begin with and a very small console team. Most of the time it’s me, my producer and another programmer so we try to focus on one platform at the time. The rest of the company is working on stuff that benefits all platforms. We do have the ps4 version up-and-running though but we haven’t started going through the cert requirements yet so it’ll take some time before we have something to show.

Thanks for the hard work. The game is super fun and looks awesome besides a few glitches here or there. I’ve watched the improvements since closed beta, and now I can see how things are coming together. Looking forward to launch!

Any chance we can get keyboard/mouse support for the console release? Both consoles natively support it and already being used in several games including Fortnite, FF14, CS:GO, War Thunder, and several others
