Congrats! I liked the first Headliner so I'll be sure to check this one out!
Actually my article I entered in the contest got in the first game, the one about sports cars :D

@Buccura haha yeah, we were so swept up in dev, it's a bummer we didn't do that contest before.
Al-Though...... maybe a post-release contest that we later patch in is not a bad idea ;)

Is there a Switch version?
Yakoob on 30/10/2018 at 23:11
Nope, but hopefully there will be!

Cool, please let us know if you put it onto Switch. Cheers.

Have you considered Android/iOS versions, Yakoob? Dunno if you've made anything for mobile before, but getting the game onto an Android device from Unity is (
https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/topics/mobile-touch/building-your-unity-game-android-device-testing) pretty easy, barring any PC-specific code/plugins messing it up. Novinews' interface should translate quite easily to touchscreen I believe. In fact all the mouse-interactions should translate automatically to taps and drags.

@henke - that's actually been my plan all along, the whole office scene is designed for Touch. Also why I switched to Unity with H:NN. I've been looking for a droid developer to port the original one (it's not in Unity), I got some progress but just don't have the time :[
That being said, I am skeptical. Premium apps tend to sink without a massive marketing behind it, usually. Still, I'd like to do it just to see what happens.

Cool! I'm thinking about bringing my own in-development game, POGOPPL, to Android as well, so I'd be curious to see how yours does. You can be my cannary in the <strike>coal mine</strike> Google Play Store. :p

And free apps tend to get lost in the swarm of other free apps. You basically need to get featured for a while to get traction on either store.
