- "Keyboard support was planned initially but we had to drop it due to lack of resources towards the release. Maybe will it come back. Regarding the controller support, we are investigating console ports (but nothing confirmed though), so of course if a console release is planned at one point, we should be able to backtrack controller support to the PC version I guess"
