GN Version 5.0

Evergate, a unique 2D puzzle-platformer, was announced for Switch back in May of 2019. The team behind the game has been toiling away ever since to get things up-and-running. While there's no release date just yet, it's clera the game has made a lot of progress.

In an interview with Nintendo Life, lead designer Kent Willis shared some info on how the team has been handling the Switch port.

Overall, we've really enjoyed the Switch development. It was our first console to develop for and with it brought many learning moments and challenges. But, Nintendo has done a great job with their developer tools which, on top of using Unity as our game engine, has made the integration pretty easy. The hardest part has been to make Evergate super performant on the Switch, but we made sure to spend the time to make sure it plays "smooth like butter" as Ariel [Wexler, programmer and designer] would say.
