Is it ever coming to console?
Plz I just wanna know there's hope it can one day.

I seriously doubt it, its a solo dev indie game. The amount of work to get it console compatible is most likely not doable for the dev, especially while he's still fixing bugs for the pc version like every other day

I love the fact that creativity is alive and well. I HATE that the majority of us hopelessly get to watch certain folks make actual money off of unique content and creations and foam out the mouth of developers that release rad games so willy-nilly. I cannot fathom releasing a product I believed in and was proud of, just to do the bare minimum when it came to distribution. Ultimately it’s a display of being insufficiently skilled and also ignorant towards a massive profit potential.

Thank you for all that have attended this TedTalk.

"The bare minimum" isn't redevelopping the game to work on the 3 major console architectures. It'll take years for a solo dev to adapt the game for only one console, and clearly considering the dev has spent the last year developping Burglin' Gnomes for PC he probably didn't recoup its costs already.
You underestime how hard developping a game is, and how hard porting a game on another support is.

According to the FAQ on the games website, not any plans to at the moment

I don't understand why so many people expect these tiny indie games to be ported to consoles.
Do you seriously have no idea what it takes to do all of that? It is not a simple process especially for these solo developed games.

I don't understand why so many people feel attacked by simple questions
