Console is a question that I get a lot.
Console is something that we would like to have in the future, but we're focusing on PC right now.
Console is such a daunting thing to think of.
It's not easy.
It is not simple or straightforward to be updating PCs and or Mac Linux and consoles or something like that.
That's incredibly difficult.
And at a time where...
I mean, look how long it's taking us to get an update out, right?
We're working our asses off to get...
gameplay and content out.
Uh, we don't want a significant chunk of that time going to, uh, putting it on a console where, uh, sure, more people get to play it, but nothing new is added to that, to the game in that sense.
Like, we, we just want to finish the game, right?
That's the, that's what we're charging full steam ahead to.
What did I say?
Shut up.
Can we get a... What's the count of microtransactions, by the way?
What are we up to?
We got one more.
Yeah, I wonder if they remember.
Yeah.
I was going to say something about that.
So, yeah, like...
I've done it now.
27.
But yeah, even then, we have to solve a different set of optimization issues for console because you have to optimize kind of specially, or somewhat, it's not totally true, but you have to, there are other rendering issues on console than there are on PC, and it's also different rendering issues on PlayStation and on Xbox because they use different rendering APIs.
And then we'd have to manage controlled support, and yeah, we want controlled support,
Again, that's like this Quote-unquote distraction like I know it feels bad to say when there are people who want to use controllers But when the game keeps evolving and changing that's one of the reasons we stopped doing control support It's like the controller mappings just kept changing because we kept adding and changing functionality So it's like we'll just wait till the game is settled and then we'll look into it When will Stardew Valley spouses be introduced?
