'We’re still confirmed on PS4 (expecting Xbox as well), but naturally the console process is more arduous than a PC release. Will Gyre be available on other platforms outside of Steam? Sometimes folks forget that and we’re a little apprehensive as to how best to ensure we set the right expectations for fans.' 'Yes, we’re hoping to enter Early Access, which normally means a game in Alpha or Beta state and an unfinished product. Will Gyre: Maelstrom be releasing to Steam Greenlight as an Early Access title?

The way we wanted to showcase parkour in the game though uncovered some challenges. We’re using Unreal 4 as the core engine and its animation system works very well for certain types of gameplay. There is also parkour gameplay that presented some additional issues. 'We knew going into production there was going to be a fair bit of technical R&D on integrating all the procedural systems together and with Toska, our polynarrative engine. Q: We first chatted with you guys about Gyre: Maelstrom at E3 2016, we’re curious to know how the development of the game has come along since then?
