Creating an export template?

agameraaron

Let's say I hypothetically get the licensing for that cool new Nintendo Switch over the horizon. What would my experience be like if I wanted to create an export template so I can port a couple games to that system?

Has anyone been in this position before? I am clueless of the process and if it takes a long time to figure all this out, I would like to know well ahead of time & what I should be prepared for. I have a little C++ experience, but it's been many years. I imagine I would need to create a build script of some sort?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Please reread the first sentence in my post. I said to assume that step is already covered.

You can try asking main developers. Ariel Manzur is used to adding new platforms to Godot.

I found out _punto is the one I would need to speak to. As for what to do after licensing and contacting? Still a mystery.

Ariel talked about the Switch on the Godot Reddit.

In the meantime you can search into the code source the files who acts like a wrapper for external API's.
