Dear Reader:
Exiin looking to bring Ary and the Secrets of Seasons to Switch
Coming from a ThisGenGaming interview with developer Exiin...
We’re currently developing and testing it for PC & Xbox One + it will also be available on PS4. But we’ve recently shifted our focus to the Switch. We’ve JUST gotten our Switch Devkit today so we can start testing on it, but we already did manage to get it running on the Unity Software Development Kit for the Switch, so we don’t expect any issues.
There are multiple reasons why we think it’s interesting to focus on this platform: First of all is the type of game we’re developing. An action adventure game like Ary should feel right at home on Nintendo’s home console/handheld hybrid and there is a really big difference in the sales figures of some games available on their eShop vs the digital storefronts of XBO and PS4.
Lastly, it just makes more sense to develop for the console with the lower specs first so you don’t have to spend extra time downscaling for it later.
