Homebrew WIP Godot game engine for Switch

fran238 · Jun 5, 2019

Github repo (can't post links): user: fhidalgosola repo: godot-switch

Features:

One player
Graphics
Most modules (no gdnative)

TODO:

Sound
Network
Exporters from the engine (can still export manually)
Fix modules that don't compile and some cleanup

Instructions: in github

I've done this port without much knowledge of C++, Godot, graphics, etc. so there's probably lots of room for improvement, would love to hear feedback or receive contributions.

the question was for fran238 : making a project build is one thing, making it behave as intended is another.

I have been playing around with stary2001's port of it, and I think it's much better integrated with the engine (uses the integrated export functionality), here's my game running with it.

It might be nice if you two joined forces, since you are trying to achieve pretty much the same, although I still gotta congratulate you on also managing to do it yourself, it's no easy task.

This is so awesome! The Godot Engine is the perfect game engine for the Nintendo Switch and . I personally as a geame developer consider the Godot Engine together with Unity and Unreal being in the 3rd best publicly available game engines. It’s really is a highly advanced Game Engine that could be used to write professional games like you buy in the Nintendo eshop without any problem. It made huge progress in the past few years and a lot of game studios have plans switching to it because of its better ingame UI tools and open soruce code compared to Unity and it’s batched graphic performance and pricing policy compared to Unreal. Absolutely awesome that there are even two projects that got it working on Horizon! With Linux4Tegra you can even develop and test on real hardware! I personally think Stary2001's port is currently more advances but this could change soon or please start working together on the same goal. Watch to see how awesome the Godot Egine realy is and imagen what amazing homebrew games you could make with it!

You don't add it, the engine itself is modified, here's a compiled version of the one I mentioned before (not OP's), with the export templates too.

OMG Thank you !
So it worked, i can export it, but when i launch the game on the switch, it crash x)
But it's a beginning !

So i will try to figure out why.

Edit : So, when i launch a normal game when go to the hbmenu and trying to launch the game, i have a black screen with this error message :
"Error: netloaderInit() failed: 0x615. Press the + button to exit."
