I hate videogames. Follow me for videogame development.
This makes me wonder if Godot would utterly crumble or if the rig is much simpler with Unreal not being that crazy with skeletons. I assumed a lot of wacky deform modifiers or such were being used that would've trapped him in Maya.

Oh that's how you embed a post to a comment.

I don't have a proper video on hand for #PitchYaGame for a number of reasons, but Crop and Claw is a #JRPG with playable #dragons and #kobolds, and you can make your own to merc party members.

Wishlist on #Steam. I'm tired: store.steampowered.com/app/3065270/

One month later this jumpscare kobold spawns in my notifications.

It tends to depend. The main benefit from this is making a quick template for running on a target handheld. Otherwise, it's copying a prior one, renaming, and replacing the PCK files. Something like CnC2 I use shell scripts for its weird exporting. Eventually I'll do custom editor exports.

Writer of that here. New guide's coming soon™. There've been some minor improvements.

In the meantime, www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsTr... is also a generalized intro to these for those not aware of this scene, but doesn't give any specific steps for any engines in particular.

I'm going to be doing a video guide on porting Godot games in general soon. Progress was made on certain versions of Mono so stabilizing that.

It's possible to partially automate. Using a template zip to auto-setup an export package is feasible.

@binarycounter.net gets a slice of the pie as well. He does a lot of the compatibility layers Portmaster uses. I'd suggested ZA since it would stress test AGS on hardware and turns out it was much easier than it used to be to port. He was all "oh I have like 7 ports working with no effort now."

These aren't so much retro as retro-like. These handhelds are primarily low budget ARM Linux devices jammed into various videogamey frames and sold cheap. This one's the Anbernic RG34XX-SP.
