MАTTRESS Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I think Philo mentioned somewhere it wasn't getting updates currently, is that just until the switch and console port and stuff are finished? Or is Niche just done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poogie Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 This is what Philo had to say in the thread I created about this very topic.

Both are planned to be released in 2020. Niche has been profitable for us, but unfortunatly not so profitable that we could survive as a studio by just releasing more and more free updates (which we have done for quite a while now). So we're not really sure where to go from here. I think we will look at how the Switch launch and the mobile game perform and then evaluate further on how and were we can go with Niche.

And our studio has a moral code that we don't want to include "predatory monetization" in our games. Aka we don't want to make mobile games were people get super addicted and buy more that they can afford. So this maybe slims the chances for a big hit For modding we would basically need to reprogram Niche from scratch, so I highly doubt this will ever happen. We tried to give a bit of modding options with the sandbox settings update.

But it will very likely not be in 2020 since we're indeed already plenty busy with the Niche Switch port, Niche mobile game, Full release of Nimbatus and the Kickstarter for Nyoma ^^ So we will just have to wait and see.
