Is the physical release gonna be a limited print? Also do we have a date for when pre-orders go up for the physical release?

No dates of any kind yet, as we haven't finished the game. I'd estimate Q2 of 2020. It's going to be released through First Press Games, so limited, but fairly big batch.
Hey, thanks! I'm personally responsible for the controls, so hoping you will like them. To me they feel great already, but I'm still improving some aspects of them from time to time. Right now I'm not 100% happy about wall jumps.
Right now we are working on an internal beginning-to-end playable alpha build, hoping to get some kind of a skeleton structure of the game ready in a month. First half is currently in much better shape than the second, but other than that everything seems to go pretty much on schedule for 2020 Q1 launch.
Also, posting the trailer for new page:

I like the 2d artstyle. It looks very clean. Nice animations too.

Thank you! We are putting a lot of effort to especially animations.

Alright, just a small update. We've been very busy working for the past month and half after the Kickstarter - schedule is pretty tight, but we expect to get the content mostly ready by the end of the year. Let's see how it goes!
Most of the UI is finally implemented. Here's a clip with some fast traveling and workshop. Needs to be polished, but something like this is what you can expect.

I hope to see this little gem on my PlayStation 4 (or even 5) one day.
Best of luck with the project!

That would be eventually the plan, would love to be able to have the game for PlayStation. Our resources are stretched pretty thin here, so I can only promise the PC and Switch version at this point. Right now we just need to get it out on any system and then start seriously thinking about the ports.

We have a dog in game now, you can of course pet him.
Just a week to the PC release!
Still things to polish, it's a fight against time but we're going to have the game in pretty good shape in the end
Good job, probably won't get to it straight away but looking forward to playing.

Thank you!^^
The goal is to get it into good shape now, but the game will improve a lot with upcoming patches between the PC release and eventual Switch version. There's simply a few ideas that we didn't have time to fully implement yet.

Very cool I'll check out the Kickstarter. The music sounds great I got some Blade Runner vibes

The Kickstarter actually finished quite some time ago, but of course the page still has good info. And glad you like!
Is it somehow possible to change the thread title?

Just saw this now, looks really cool. Wish it came to PS4(or 5) but I wish you best of luck 100%. Looks great!

That's in the plans eventually, if things go well! Right now we need to focus on PC and Switch simply because of lack of resources.
Thanks!

As for editing the thread title you can report your own post and ask for the change or PM a staff member

Take all the time you need. Better to release it when it’s right.

Are you currently negotiating with Nintendo?
Temathael

That's been done, we are actually waiting for the devkit to arrive. Game's developed with Unity and we've taken Switch into account since the beginning, so it shouldn't take much time once we can start using the real Switch hardware.

Ah okay. So it just a matter of waiting for the Devkit and adapting the game to the actual hardware i presume?
Temathael

That's pretty much it. The Switch version will be published by First Press Games, so the release date will be up to them as well.
Kamina

I am certain all will be well quite soon

tl;dr
Will buy when it comes to the GAF marketplace.

Any update on when we should expect the Switch physical release? Just cause I know its a limited release and I don't want to miss it.

Nothing concrete yet, but should be first half of this year.

Cant wait to try it and best wishes on how well it reviews and sells, Temathael.

I'm really loving it so far! The *only* thing I'd like to see implemented is a way for the character to stand still and aim/shoot in the direction you need
shots on. Otherwise, a very good showing so far!

Got it too. Can't be playing it on my work computer, though, so it'll have to wait till home. Looking forward to it!
