Whats Next? FAQ

Q: What about bug fixing on PC and Wii U? Weve got some clean up to do on PC. In our efforts to bring Hive Jump to new platforms, weve done a little clean up, overall, to the game. Weve invested time toward improving game elements such as the collision system and some basic bug fixing. There were some questions about certain achievements which weve worked to clear up and some other behind the scenes optimizations to tackle. Weve learned of a few new bugs about controller detection which weve got in the bug queue. About Re-bindable Controls, on all platforms I know its not natural to have the jump button on a shoulder button. Decades of other titles demand that we jump with a face button. I get it. But, if you put it anywhere else you cant jump, aim and shoot well. Weve tried. Its not a feature that is completely off the table, but weve not found a config that works better so we chose to prioritize other tasks. If you want to try out different configurations on PC in the meantime, tools like JoytoKey do offer that type of support. A few of you were asking about controller maps in the Steam forums so weve whipped up a few quick guides which are over at hivejump.com but are also included here:

Q: Will PC Multiplayer ever come out of BETA? Online Multiplayer is not a system that is easily perfected. It works great in some cases, but in others it suffers from desyncs and performance issues. Weve invested considerable time toward making this experience better for everyone, but issues still come up. Weve had to be a bit pragmatic in choosing ways to move Hive Jump forward and arent yet in a spot where we can take that beta tag off the Online Feature. Q: Will you be coming to PS4 next? Nothing is announced for PS4 or any other platform at this time.
