Thanks for mentioning us! <3

Hi! We are planning to release Xbox One version in the nearest future. We will be informing about that, so stay tuned!

So awesome to hear that! ^^
We also hope that you will stay with us up to the very release and beyond! :-)

Thanks for your comment. I looked at Polynomial and it looks very interesting. I’m a bit shocked that Polynomial 2 is not doing that great compared to the first part. Do you think that adding VR support is contributing to that? I mean, there is a lot of hype around VR right now, so theoretically it should be easier for you to get press coverage, but on the other hand “normal” players might mistake your game for VR only and skip it. Also, did you try to capitalize somehow your existing audience? Do you know how many of your original audience know about the sequel? Maybe you could issue discount coupons via Steam to let them now and entice them to try the new one?

This is actually why we are very happy that we went with early access, even though sales are not as good as we’d want them. Without EA we wouldn’t be able to make so many tweaks to the game all tailored to actual players. And we can still hope that once we go gold, thing will get better :)

Thanks for your honest opinion. Quite a few people mention the lack of animations as a down side and this something we understand. I could argue that we wanted a symbolic look and board game feel, but the hard reality is that full animations were out of the question as it was impossible to do them for all 70+ characters in 16 directions in our small team. We’re a 2d game so animating is different than in 3d.

Also doubt it will hit their bottom line. In theory they should have it more difficult promoting their next game, but in reality the press will probably be covering them more (as everyone will be interested to read what's authors of No Man's Sky working on now) or they will just jump start a new company a make it all over again under a different name ;)

Hi feillyne, thanks for encouraging words on the sales, as for the article from Sergey from SteamSpy we're doing pretty good comparing to other EA titles, yet if you take a closer look, EA titles are not having the best time (full read here: Medium.com)

We are planning on translating the game to as many languages as it will be possible when it's finished. As the string tables are still changing on daily basis, we have the game in English and Polish (as we're fluent in these languages). It would drastically postpone updating process if we'd have to order translation every time we want to patch the game.

Modding is something we definitely have in mind as our tech is quite suitable for that. At this point, we are focusing more on finishing the main loop of the game (all 3 classes, polishing quests and so on), but we'll definitely introduce modding in the future. When we feel it's solid, we'll give the fans tools to mess around with it :)

Pricing was a subject of one of the longest discussions in the company, but we believe that's what fits the game best (in terms of visual and gameplay quality, amount of in-game content, replayability, other games of the genre on the market, etc).
