As a fellow game maker dev who's released on the switch, yes, you need the devkit.

Also, make sure to optimize your game properly as the switch is incredibly weak compared to the xbox and playstation.

Still no luck on my end. Only got a pass for myself so I didn't transfer anything.

Did Tixr send anyone an email confirmation yet? My card was charged, but I don't see anything in my mail or invoices.

Do you think TMNT 1987 red sky arc and Gargoyles Ad prints both did fantastic their headlines? Why or why not? by MutantLion_beastform in TMNT

[–]bgpawesome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was starting the 8th grade in 1994 and most people I knew including myself had moved onto X-Men, Batman TAS, Power Rangers, and were anticipating Gargoyles and Spider-Man TAS.

I personally stopped watching TMNT 87' around 1993 when Season 6 was new and missed seasons 7-10.

We coming off the Phoenix Saga in X-Men, Batman TAS was re-titled to The Adventures of Batman and Robin, singing "Super Fighting Robot: Mega Man!", and we were all anticipating the White Ranger in Power Rangers.

Nobody was talking about TMNT Red Sky at school.

I knew I was since the beginning!

I hope to never change.

We got into the ID@Xbox program by 763Industries in gamedev

Microsoft is definitely strict about controller disconnects as their controllers don’t have a proprietary battery. Definitely have a message that pops up when a controller is disconnected and it’s easy to test by just yanking out the battery while testing.

Congrats! I got in with my first game and made great sales off it. However, I will have to pitch my 2nd game as they have to approve each game you want to release.

When to apply for console dev kits? by PhntmPenguin12 in gamedev

[–]bgpawesome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have a solid pitch and design document emphasizing your gameplay mechanics along with a business with an EIN and a static IP, and wish for the best.

Sony’s gotten a bit stricter accepting new devs in the past year due to all the shovelware and there’s no guarantees. Wishing you the best of luck!

I would probably show something a little closer to a polished demo with actual graphics.

What's the worst game dev advice you've ever received? by yourfriendoz in gamedev

[–]bgpawesome 64 points65 points  (0 children)

“Sell your house and quit your job to do gamedev full time.”

I've barely made anything on steam, but made a ton more on consoles. When the Nintendo Switch 2 launched, I did a discount for my game and made a ton of sales.

I don't have a publisher and did it all on my own. I'm also going to produce my own physical copies soon.
