PC So how does the Telltale/Ironclad thing work?

[Jost Amman]

Can someone from TFP explain me something please?

There's people saying that you are directly developing the Console version of 7DTD on top of the work you're doing for the PC version... is this true?

I always thought you are only helping Ironclad with the porting but not diverting a lot of time into it (e.g.: like developing two games at the same time).

What is the truth?

Thanks in advance for any clarification.

Copy/Pasta from wiki.

"In April 2016, the game was announced for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It is published by Telltale Publishing and was released in June 2016."

Seems like the people working on PC and console development are separate, which is what I heard somewhere else on the forums.

Ok, thanks.

I also had a clarification from the Steam forums... was just worried this was slowing down development of the PC version.

Guess this has already been discussed in plenty some time ago.

I doubt it. Afaik there's only one (~1.5 years old) official statement:

So the way its going to work is we'll be adding new features to pc, then porting select ones to console, while mostly working on A16. So we're spending a few days a week on console porting, and a few days a week on new PC features for A16.

'spending a few days a week on console porting' is probably no longer true.

This is more about the console version, so I'll move it.

And now that it's in the console section, you can see the sticky threads.

Read this one. There is even a video from TFP explaining how it all works right in the first post.
