<p>If you’ve been anticipating the release of Atooi’s <strong>Chicken Wiggle Workshop</strong> for Nintendo Switch, we’ve got some unfortunate news to share. In an update on <a class="external" href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2029149553/chicken-wiggle-workshop-for-nintendo-switch/posts/2559565">Kickstarter</a>, the publisher and developer’s newly-appointed community manager said the game was unlikely to hit its 2019 <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/05/atooi_provides_development_update_on_its_upcoming_switch_projects">release</a> window:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>We don’t know exactly how much more time it will take other than this game won’t likely hit the 2019 release window we hoped for. We don’t want to put any more undue expectations on anyone and as soon as we have news on an exact release date we will let you know.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The reason for the delay is to do with expanding the overall scope of the project:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>We originally expected Chicken Wiggle Workshop to be completed by now, hence our original expected date. As we started to put things together, we quickly realized that just a new paint job on wiggle wasn’t the right approach to this game.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>We decided to expand the scope of the project by including the planned stretch goals into development to better suit our fans and the overall game experience. In doing so the project is taking longer than expected and we stumbled into some developmental issues, which pushed back the launch window.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Further on was a formal apology to fans and backers:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Please understand we are a very small team. We never want to let any of you down. We failed in meeting your expectations and we are very sorry and hope you can understand we’re doing our best.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The post then went on to apologise for the radio silence and the delay once again:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>We apologize for the radio silence, however we thought it wasn’t good to keep saying “We have no new news at this time.” But perhaps that might have been better than saying nothing at all. Moving forward the game plan is to try to work on more frequent updates even if it is bad news.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>We understand a delay is never what anyone wants to hear but we ask that you weather the storm with us just a bit longer. We also know a rushed game is a bad game and we feel everyone deserves our very best.</p>
