Poutinetown, do gaming w Dev cancels Switch port of Wipeout-style racer blaming controversial Unity fees

Does Godot work for Switch?

strongarm,

Yes, but you need to work with a porting company or pay for proprietary software

greybeard,

That isn’t for lack of trying on Godots part, but there are parts of making a Switch game that are incompatible with an open source engine. It is possible to have a closed source export profile that targeted the switch, but someone would have to make it, and that someone would charge money for it. Which is almost exactly what has happened.

It is interesting how free it is to build games for consoles these days. Now that everything is on pretty standard hardware, gone are the days of needing a dev kit and special knowledge of how the CPU or other hardware worked. Even the switch is standard ARM hardware, the proprietary part is the OS integration parts, not the hardware.

What the other comment said, but also for an example of a Godot game on Switch, check out Cassette Beasts!

Sharpiemarker,

I’ve had Cassette Beasts in my steam wishlist for a while. How is it?

bugsmith,

It is fantastic. The most polished and stylish monster tamer I’ve played to date. I strongly recommend it to any fan of the genre.

I haven’t enjoyed a “pokemon clone” as much in a very long time, coming from both a lifelong pokemon fan and a competitive battler. It respects your intelligence, buildcraft is fun, the monsters are cool, the story is surprisingly good (not incredible but still well done and touching and fun, big pokemon black/white and black2/white2 vibes in that regard just a bit more adult). I loved it

Sharpiemarker,

That’s quite the endorsement! I’m sold.

atocci,

It's so much fun, I legitimately enjoyed it more than the last few Pokémon games. I haven't enjoyed a monster collecting game that much since Heart Gold and Soul Silver. Highly recommend it.

Sharpiemarker,

Brilliant! Thanks for the recommendation.

Save it for new switch

TLDR: They can’t afford the greater costs of the new license, so they are sticking with the version of unity their current license is for.

This will block them from releasing a switch port as nintendo version gates unity games to a recent version of the engine.

Way to go Unity

li10, do games w Capcom would "gracefully decline" an acquisition offer from Microsoft

Don’t imagine Microsoft would have too much success trying to poach Japanese companies.

They’re notoriously “Japan first” in everything they do, but enough money would probably change that.

Did anyone else feel as... disengaged with the second one as I did? Something about it just didn't grab me like the first one...

It's not even a technical thing, like many have complained about. I never had those sorts of issues on my computer (once I turned off the steam desktop controller thing). It just didn't keep my attention.

Thanks. I never wanted to sleep again in my own home anyway.

Isn't it because the world's a bit shit too? XD

Second game definitely had way too many issues to be released when it did. And it’s still not in a good state on PC. But I had a good time with it, and thought it was a big step up from the first game in every way except performance. Hoping the 3rd game doesn’t have the same issues

Because it's a Polish game? Lol

It’d be nice if they fixed the last one before moving onto the next. At least the balance is restored, these are definitely EA products; the high quality of the first game was just a blip.

This isn’t exactly giving me high hopes that Jedi: Survivor is going to be playable on PC anytime soon…
