Lunar Software, the developer of upcoming sci-fi horror game Routine, says that it is considering working on a console port once the PC version is completed.
"If we did do a console version it would be PS4-only," says Lunar's Jemma Hughes, speaking directly to IGN. "From a technical standpoint it would be far easier for us to port over as there would be much less need for optimisation."
The four-person team is currently not considering a port for Xbox One.
"We wouldn't want to expand to any other consoles as it's extremely tiring doing the non-creative work," Hughes explains. "I think we could only handle doing it for one console." She mentions that Lunar has had interest from other teams in handling ports, but that Lunar is too "protective" of Routine to consider outsourcing at the moment.
"We are first and foremost PC developers so anything else will have to come after that... We honestly wouldn't even be thinking about doing a console port if it wasn't for how awesome Sony have been with developers. They have been extremely open and helpful in any way they can be and we would like to support their console."
Routine is a first-person exploration game set on an '80s-style moon base; we listed it as one of our 13 horror games to watch out for in 2014. Lunar is aiming to release it sometime this year.
