Main programmer Borut sez:

“obviously non-Win 8 PC gamers are still very important to us (especially since at least half the team will probably continue to fall in that category), but beyond that I can’t really go into contractual details as to why that part makes business sense for us. Pretty sure I can’t even fuzzily portend what might become apparent at a later date."

It's easier to port apps rather than old shitty exe games.

Also, fuck Steam.

So basically MS has all the same walled gardens in its gaming division that Sony does - XBLA, Games for Windows, Windows 8, Windows Phone etc. And they all want a piece of dat Skulls but don't give a crap if it inconveniences any of the others, or the developer, or the consumer.

Sorry, Sho Nuff, I'm not paying $100+ so I can play your game. Hopefully you can get something worked out later down the line, because the situation you're in right now just plain sucks.

Microsoft Surface packs a staggering payload of cool tricks, but there’s one unassuming feature that’s likely to attract game developers: the USB port.

“I don’t like mobile games,” says Jake Kazdal, creative director at the indie developer 17-Bit. “I don’t play them, I don’t like the controls. I’m too much of a core gamer, I just can’t get over it. I’m old and stubborn.”

“And now I don’t care,” he says, “because I can plug in my wired Xbox 360 controller [into Surface] and all of a sudden I have a full-blown games console wherever I go.”

Quote

“Our game will support both versions” of Surface, Kazdal said — the ARM processor version and the Intel-powered, Windows 8-compatible Pro.

Although Kazdal is excited about playing games on a tablet with an Xbox 360 controller, he said that Skulls for Surface will ship with “three distinct, discrete control schemes.”

“You can play with mouse and keyboard, you can play with iPad-style touch controls or you can plug in a controller,” he says. “The turn-based game, the action part of it is less intense so you’re not going to screw up as much with the glass-based interface system.”

One can already play PC games on the go by carting around a laptop. But the small size and sleek design of Surface make it a much better option, Kazdal says.

“A laptop is big and bulky,” he says. “I don’t like Windows laptops. I use a Mac.”

I never understood the joypad/tablet thing. That kickstand isn't going to work on your lap, so you need a flat surface, so you might as well play on your PC and get a much better experience. Maybe Doctor Octopus could play it ok

ok so the point is it's two devices. A tablet when you want it to be a tablet.... And a laptop when you want it to be a laptop. This looks slim, light and sexier than most (non apple) laptops, and that keyboards probably no worse than 90% of what's out there

For Skulls, you only need the kickstand if you are going to use a game pad. If you opt for touch controls, I'm sure you can hold and play much like with any iPad game. As to the PC being better...have you ever gone anywhere that doesn't have a PC in it? They have these big metal things with wings that fly around between continents now, for example

I guess the embargo finally lifted and we can talk about the cross-platform stuff publicly now. Long story short, all the versions work with each other so you can play async across all platforms, plus there's cloud saves so you can play wherever the heck you feel like it:

Okay I can honestly say I have no idea who that was. Jake is out in the middle of nowhere camping with his family, I was at home playing Quantum Conundrum and Paul never leaves the office.

OHHH was he tall and lanky with blond hair and look like Leon from RE4? That might have been our new animator Callen, he was out of town until yesterday.

Tall guy with long wavy blonde hair. Looked a bit like a baked surfer.

I really want a shirt, but the shipping is horrendous. Can't I just drive over from Seattle and pick one up? I'll pay.
