TxK is a pure gem, and a Vita exclusive.

I seem to remember reading a quote to the effect of "we're working on getting T4K out this year, then getting Polybius out next year".
He doesn't seem big on committing to release dates. At one point PC Gamer quoted him as saying Polybius' PC release would be 2017 once the PS4 exclusivity period expired, but now T4K is a thing it's been pushed back to 2018. Weh.
Minter's been trucking along making games ever since. You have some good stuff to catch up on if you haven't played Polybius, TxK, Gridrunner++ or his other recent work!

It says Atari presents but no support for Atari box? Either way looking forward to this on the PC.

More signs pointing to the AtariBox being another android / pi console.

Not looking like this will make 2017 after all
I don't think so. There's no point in rushing it just to "make 2017". It's best if they take the necessary time to ensure that it's polished and in prime condition.
From what Minter has been saying on twitter, its finished.

It has also been rated by PEGI and ESRB.

If the development is truly done, then perhaps this is now in the hands of the publisher (Atari). It's possible they just want to wait until the new year, so that it doesn't have to compete for attention with scores of games that are heavily discounted for holiday sales..
