- Console Porting, Totems and A New Land to Explore! - 23 June 2020
Console Porting, Totems and A New Land to Explore! Hello! It's been a while since we last shared an update, so we thought we'd give you a peek at what we've been working on. Console Port As you probably know, we've been hard at work porting Staxel to console, this involves a complete engine rewrite of the game from the ground up - no light task for a game over 5 years in the making! We're making great progress though, and we’re looking forward to showing you more in terms of engine gameplay in the coming weeks. Totem UI Case Study One thing we've been looking at very closely while porting is making sure our UI works well for consoles. This means making sure everything works fluidly with a controller, but also ensuring readability across a large range of screen setups. An example being the Switch Handheld and docked modes. Since we're re-examining the UI in this way, we figured it's a go…
