Januar måned bød på masser af nye spil fra indie-udviklerne, da der blev sendt en Indie Highlights. Blandt de mere interessante spil var helt sikkert CrossCode, der allerede er ude til Steam, men hvor en Switch-version blev lovet i 2019. Nu hvor året er ved at være omme, og der stadig ingen udgivelse er, kommer det nok ikke som en overraskelse, at spillet er udskudt til 2020. Der er som et plaster på såret dog udsendt en lille video, hvor udviklerne gennemgår nogle af de nyheder, der er at finde i spillet:
Du kan finde en længere forklaring i første kommentar til nyheden.

#1First of all: We’re still working on it and we’re making really good progress. That being said, we hoped for a 2019 release earlier this year. And – as you can see – this did not work out as intended. We underestimated the amount of work a bit. Or, in other words, it became… complicated. Especially the performance became a major challenge. Lea would say: Why?
That’s why: CrossCode is written in HTML5. And that means that there is tons of JavaScript. And live compiling it in a Chromium Browser is causing security issues on consoles and is forbidden on most platforms as hackers could attack the hardware through that. So we had to find a solution. Which is basically an interpreter which translates the code but locks it up in a cage. That also means: We had a performance bottleneck. As the code was read by the interpreter and then translated into something the console would understand and then read by the console. It is like watching a movie in a movie in a livestream. Yet: We have it under control now. We’re still ironing out the last issues, fixing some broken bosses and quests (which also have to be interpreted which means the interpreter must be able to read them etc.). But we’re getting there.
More details can be found in this video, where Robert, who is working on the interpreter, is sharing some details:
How? How can we not mention Switch. Well, we’re doing it now: We’re focusing on the Xbox right now for no specific reason but just to focus on one platform. Technically, with the way the interpreter is working, the step to other platforms is rather easy from there. Okay, for the Switch we need to do some further optimization, but that’s, compared to the rest, just some minor stuff. After that we’ll “just” need to pass the certifications.
When will CrossCode release on consoles? We’ll announce that once we have a fixed date set. Expect an announcement on a rather short notice here as we are, obviously, also in discussions with the platform holders about that. To shorten the wait, we’ve prepared a small trailer for now.
