Do you think you could work on SCPCB on Xbox? I mean there's already a ton of gamepad controls for the PC. It would be really cool and it would just make my day. After all, there's a ton of games like it on Xbox too.

You'd have to port/modify/export it or use some special application with .exe support and the PC developers probably couldn't do this/won't have time yet/prioritise PC.

Unless you want to re-write the whole game in another engine/scripting language, it's staying PC only.

Blitz3D doesn't support anything off of Windows, and it by its self doesn't support Windows well anymore due to it using DirectX7.

Also, read the FAQ next time.

Ok, thanks guys. I'm kinda disappointed but I understand now. It would still be nice though. I'll try to find something out so I can play on my tv or something.

Yes, because UWP.
It'd require rewriting large portions due to limited API support for Xbox One, but as long as you have the source code, it's doable.

Well, it supports Windows very well already... Just not the latest versions.

...alright. I already said that.

Porting SCP:CB on Xbox would mean using a better game engine. Blitz 3D is a very old game engine and is not capable of much. The game would have to be ported to the Unity or Unreal engine. Plus, the game doesn't look like an Xbox game.

Oh, and in case you couldn't tell/haven't been around, ports/rewrites aren't easy, the current Unity port is roughly the ninth(?) large scale attempt of porting the game.
