#Torchlight for mobile Pc#

Are we an online game, an offline game, a Switch, or PC game? We just kind of wanted to see our numbers and establish what type of game we are. That’s something we’re looking at for future updates. MS: Cross play is more challenging for us, because all the different systems have their own friend systems. Is something like cross-play or cross-saves on the cards? PT: There seems to be a subsection of the gaming community that plays primarily on their PC and on the Switch. We designed our UI and everything to work both on both mouse and keyboard and with a controller. Fortunately, from the very beginning, we intended to be on consoles, including the Switch. The UI that would be appropriate for sitting 18 inches away from your monitor, it’s very different from what would work on a Switch screen. It is a little bit challenging because when people play on their PC, they’ve got giant wall-size 4K monitors. We just wanted to make sure we got as close to that PC experience as we could on the Switch. But, at the same time, everyone’s favourite machine is the Switch these days. MS: Our biggest challenge with the Switch is maintaining the same graphic look, and play that we have on people’s crazy gaming PCs, Xbox, and PlayStation. PT: Did you have any difficulties bringing Torchlight 3 to the Nintendo Switch? And the first time for us that you can take Torchlight on the go. It’s a multiplayer RPG and for the first time in my career, we have made it for the Nintendo Switch, which is everyone’s favourite console platform. We have made the third instalment in the Torchlight series. MS: I’m Max Schaefer, the CEO of Echtra Games. Pocket Tactics: Could you introduce yourself and give us a brief overview of the game, please? During our conversation with Schaefer, he talks about the Nintendo Switch port of the game, the issues players had during the early access period, and the future of the Torchlight series.

We had the chance to speak to the CEO of Echtra Games, Max Schaefer, about Torchlight 3’s seemingly rocky development process. After a successful launch on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and now the Nintendo Switch, it looks as though Torchlight 3’s fortunes are finally changing. As a result, Echtra Games is still trying to recover its reputation as the Steam reviews left a lasting impression on the action RPG community. Upon launching on Steam’s early access, players immediately review bombed the game, forcing the developer to address community concerns head on. Though the decision to pivot away from the free-to-play, shared world model was appreciated, some fans were concerned this move was nothing more than an attempt at a cash grab. Upon announcing Torchlight 3 was transitioning from a free-to-play game back to a premium product, fans immediately questioned why Echtra Games would make this decision. Torchlight 3’s initial reveal was far from what Echtra Games, its developer, had hoped for.
