00:00So we pushed it out for the the aforementioned consoles so now we are

00:09deciding hey well there's more that we can do with this project there's a lot

00:12of community feedback that we would like to address okay well what is the overall

00:16intent of this is it just to do some quality of life fixes just bug fixes get

00:20it to the switch to or like can we turn this into something that's a little bit

00:23more meaningful what if we brought it to both Nintendo platforms the switch one

00:28and the switch to when I was starting on this project a lot of it was actually

00:35integrating the game into Unreal 5 because when we started we essentially

00:40believed that was the only way that we could get the game running on the switch

00:46consoles because we thought Unreal only supported Unreal 5 when it came to

00:51giving all the right stuff for that those consoles it was discovered there was a

01:26remember to maybe not right and and that was the thing that I was the most worried

01:30about I want the game to be just as we remember it when we know for sure that

01:37everything on the switch one works and is like a comfortable experience that will be I

01:43think a moment of pride for everybody who's working on this port the place that we

01:48get to on switch one is undoubtedly going to be the product of blood sweat tears

01:53hours to get it to what it could be from what it was and within 48 hours of us

02:02making the decision to switch back to Unreal 4 we successfully made builds for

02:06switch one and two I felt very vindicated in that decision and said you know

02:10what yes we're throwing out work but if this is going to be the path of least

02:14resistance this is worth it and sure enough it absolutely was
