Basil Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I saw this in the suggestions part of Niche and it got quiet a few down votes plus it also had a comment by an administrator that it would most likely never happen. I just wanna get a bit more information on why it wouldn't become a possibility in the future or the main reason why it wouldn't become a thing. Honestly it sounds so fun and since my computer's hard drive just conveniently decided to malfunction... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goggles-kun Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Perhaps its because. . . Hella money Hella controls How would it work on tiny phones Did I mention it'd cost a lot of money? it would be super cool, I don't see it happening in the near future. Though, if Stray Fawn sold merchandise or did another Kickstarter... Maybe! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen some games that are made to not be compatible with phones and such, only being compatible with things like iPads and stuff... but the money and controls are one of the biggest issues that I didn't really think of. If they start a kick starter for Niche Mobile I'll literally throw all of my college savings into that kick starter cause oMg I want Niche on mobile so bad lmao 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurkily Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 It's important to remember that most phones aren't tiny little laptops, with the exception of windows phones. They use a different architecture, different OS, different hardware, etc. A port to a phone isn't the same as moving from PC to Xbox - its not as bad as writing the game from scratch because the mechanics exist and the assets already exist, but the programming time is comparable. It's also an ongoing cost. Going forward, it's a commitment to support what amounts to an additional game, with separate effort required for buggies and updates. I don't mean to patronize, so I'm sorry if you knew all this, but it's not an aspect of the problem that's always obvious to players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar-Eclipse Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 ok but consider: niche for switch? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philo Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 We would need to rebuild the whole game (both graphics and programming) to get it running on mobile unfortunately ^^ Switch would be more likely, but there are currently no plans for ports. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
