Hive Jump delayed beyond Q1 2016

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment

Hive Jump was last scheduled for launch in Q1 of this year. Sadly though, it’s been pushed back. Graphite Lab is now only committing to a vague 2016 release window.

In its latest Kickstarter update, the studio explained that Hive Jump’s delay came about “simply because the game isn’t as far along as we had hoped when we announced that date.” The team has also “continued to invest in this game well beyond our Kickstarter budget”, but has taken on other client work at the same time. This is slowing down development, but Hive Jump’s actual creation is going smoothly.

Graphite Lab’s full Kickstarter update regarding the delay reads:

Delays suck. We hate to hear of them and hate being the bearer of them even more. Unfortunately, Hive Jump’s release is delayed past Quarter 1 of this year. The cause of the delay is simply because the game isn’t as far along as we had hoped when we announced that date.
We knew the large scope of the game would be challenging to execute on and that is why we listed that up front in our risks and challenges section of the Kickstarter page. We’ve continued to invest in this game well beyond our Kickstarter budget because we believe in the game and we want to deliver the best possible version of this game to you our beloved backers. But developing a game after the budget is exceeded slows things down considerably.

After debuting on platforms such as Steam, Paranautical Activity is now heading to Wii U. There’s actually a trailer for the game on the eShop (no listing yet), which should mean that a release will be happening soon – maybe as soon as this week?

Code Avarice’s first-person shooter Paranautical Activity features procedurally-generated levels with enemies and bosses in each one. The game isn’t easy, as permadeath is included. Paranautical Activity also has upgrades to help you progress further, hidden items, and more.

Check out a trailer for Paranautical Activity below.
