Knowing that exclusivity deals, especially to EGS, tend to anger PC gamers for oftentimes a variety of reasons, Glumberland hoped to kill the controversy with kindness ahead of time. On Thursday, the developers at Glumberland, a husband and wife team made up of Rebecca Cordingley and Ben Wasser, put up a blog post announcing the Epic Games Store exclusivity. This small game that never really garnered much attention has become the flashpoint for a larger culture war over developer decisions, the Epic Games Store, and the validity of consumer anger and entitlement.
While a Steam listing has been up for some time, the game has not actually been purchasable, and is coming to Xbox One still.
We also showed off a little tease of some content from the Port Forward update on Twitter a couple weeks ago in case you missed it.Last week, the developers at the two-person studio Glumberland announced that they would be bringing their upcoming adventure game Ooblets to the Epic Games Store rather than Steam on PC for a period of temporary exclusivity. We've also come up with some possible solutions for some long-standing issues, like broken dance moves, Nullwhere issues, and maybe even widescreen support! The 0.7 update will also have at least one new system that we hope folks with long playtime hours will appreciate. The Port Forward update is still planned for mid-year. There are a lot of bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements we've been making lately that we didn't want to sit on until we did all of the Port Forward content, so we're going to be getting those out the door as a separate update first.
We're tweaking our plans a bit by sneaking in an interim update before the big Port Forward update. He's been helping us keep the pace with development as the new baby takes up a lot of our time. So some big news is we've expanded the team a while back with the addition of Rich, who's an incredible programmer and artist. We've got some exciting stuff planned for this year and we've been hard at work to get it all to you!
