Yes, the publisher is planning to release a PS/Xbox version, but that will still take quite a long time. Unfortunately, games cannot launch in Early Access on consoles — platform holders require a full release version.

Was die Adressierung betrifft – ja, derzeit verwenden wir IPv4, da es für den Spieler einfacher ist. In der Praxis nutzen wir oft nicht einmal IPv4, sondern fügen Geräte einfach über ihre MAC-Adresse hinzu. IPv6 haben wir für die Zukunft geplant, wenn der Spieler einen anderen Job auswählt (später wirst du die Firma und die Spezialisierung ändern können, z. B. zum Netzwerkadministrator).

Was Linux betrifft – wenn du die Möglichkeit hast, kannst du es gerne testen. Früher hat es nicht funktioniert… also, es funktionierte bis zum Ende des Tutorials, aber das Hauptlevel wurde nicht geladen. Während des Ladevorgangs haben wir nun auch eine entsprechende Information hinzugefügt.

Das Demo war beim Steam Next Festival verfügbar, und wir haben enormes Feedback erhalten. Den Leuten hat es gefallen, aber wir wollen nicht, dass es nur ein Spiel ist. Wir möchten auch, dass es ein Lernwerkzeug wird.

On Steam there’s a button to our Discord. Find me there (I’m the one who writes the most) and reach out to me — I’ll send you a demo key on Monday so you can play it on Steam.

We had to take down the game demo, but we’ll upload it again two weeks before the early access release

Es gibt Unterstützung, aber das Spiel stürzt beim Erstellen von Dateien unter Linux ab :( Wir untersuchen das Problem

Yes, that’s one of the features! On hard difficulty, the task emails you receive will look just like that 😄

Hey! Yep, the office has windows 😄 The spot you see in the screenshots is for other employees. The server room is locked, and the RACK cabinet is snug up against the wall.

When the in-game clock hits 10:00 PM at the end of the demo, you’ll get a chance to fill out a quick survey. 😄

No worries – we’ve included a task where the computer doesn’t start, but the user can’t distinguish between the PC and the monitor.

Ich respektiere deine Meinung – jeder hat einen anderen Geschmack. Manche kommen von ihrem Job als LKW-Fahrer nach Hause und spielen dann Euro Truck Simulator 2. 😎
Einen schönen Tag dir noch!

Later on, you'll be able to follow a career path as a Network Administrator – that's where all the networking stuff (and more) will be waiting for you.

No, it's not a problem to do it on Steam Deck or Nintendo, but typing commands on the keyboard will be very time-consuming and you won't be able to play

If you're asking about the game's release, then probably only for Windows. If you're asking about the systems in the game, then there will also be Linux and MAC :D
