Castle Pals console launch!

Not sure where to post this, so I'll put it here.

Castle Pals has been ported by Ratalaika https://www.ratalaikagames.com/ for release on Xbox One, PS4 and the Nintendo Switch! It's pretty dang cool.

It took a little while, but their Stencyl port system is up and running. Contact them if you think you have something that would be suited for consoles.

Great to see that there's a way to put Stencyl games on console now! Maybe in the future, I'll put some of my games up there.

Congratulations! Ill have to get it... well.. because Stencyl!  And it looks like a pretty fun game!

Bought! Congrats

Well done!
Wondering if Stencyl would ever add a possibility to build for consoles directly...

Consoles publishing is such a complicated process. While obviously it's possible in some way, actually getting a game through the QA process of each store and even having the connections to leverage to release at all, would be difficult to do without a publisher.

Historic

I know what you mean! And as I understand, currently porting to consoles means redoing the game from scratch in a different engine. This takes resources on part of the publisher - which is extra leverage in publishing negotiations, unfavourable to the developer.

Anyway, you guys have gone a long and hard way, congratulations!

In this case the publisher doesn't rebuild the game, I don't know the details but he ports the Stencyl code to his own engine that allows him to add the things needed for consoles.

Yeah, they built an extension that they can use to insert Xbox achievements and PS trophies on their end, as well as detect what platform the game is running on.
