Fumiko! is coming to Xbox One!
When I first started working on the Xbox One port of the game I did not give the warning signs enough credit. As a solo dev, porting a game to a console is an unforgivingly challenging task. To quote a member from the development forums who shared a general step-by-step guide for other partners, this basically sums it up pretty well:
"I want to warn you if you're on a small team or by yourself porting a game. [...] Some portions of the porting process expect very high levels of knowledge regarding a subject matter and a lot of time to complete. Most of the time I felt like I was battling a boss in dark souls blind folded kicking my feet up into the air hoping something would hit only to see a death screen again. Yes many people have done it but don't expect it be a walk in the park, in fact expect it to be a walk on the side of mount Everest, naked."
Nevertheless, I did not slip and fall to an inevitable doom but tried to do small steps every day until I finally reached the top. It was refreshing and I would do it all over again, but for now it is time to celebrate!
Fumiko! is coming to Xbox One on February 23rd, starting its preorder on February 9th!
For this occasion, I have created a special Teaser to get everyone excited for the release. If you want to help me out, share this with your friends that own an Xbox One or share it with people who you think might enjoy!

I have updated the Website and started streaming on Twitch recently. Stop by if you can and let's have a chat! I am currently working on something new called Infectious Void, which you might already know if you've followed my LudumDare#40 entry.
I'm looking forward to the release and seeing you people on the streams. Working on Infectious Void is very fun, so I hope the release goes well so that I can continue this great journey being a game developer with you all.
Also - New Logo!
Best Regards,
Odrez
nice work my friend! looks awesome. Congratulations on getting it to xbox! Im currently on the lookout for developers to talk to about an idea I have. It is for an evolution based tamagochi style game that could potentially be classed more as an experiment than a game, but has plenty of room for discussion. I imagine its main development feature would be packets of information that can in turn create new packets of information, and that the complexity would be indexing the relationships between the information. I am not a developer so I am not eloquent in this field and I realise that this sort of thing is a lot of work so I am looking for developers who are excited about the concept of artificial evolution and would be interested in a passion project. Obviously in the crypto world there is plenty of potential to monetize but those considerations may have to be secondary to the thrill of the experiment! I realise you are probably busy with infectious void (which looks supercool too!) but if you are even interested in chatting about my idea, then please let me know :) peace out. basil
