This is a port of the Godot open source game engine to the Switch, using homebrew libraries provided by devkitPro/switchbrew.

Godot Engine is a feature-packed, cross-platform game engine to create 2D and 3D games from a unified interface. It provides a comprehensive set of common tools, so that users can focus on making games without having to reinvent the wheel.

User guide

Which file(s) do I need

  • godot-switch.zip contains all needed files for file association support, including the needed nx-hbmenu config. Make sure to extract it to your SD card if you want to use one-touch export.
  • godot-template-switch_only.tpz contains the export template, only use this if you are having trouble downloading it via the editor UI.
  • godot-windows-switch-support.zip - Prebuilt Windows editor.
  • godot-mac-switch-support.dmg - Prebuilt macOS editor.
  • godot-linux-switch-support.tar.gz - Prebuilt linux editor.

How do I export my game

The editor builds add a Switch exporter to the list - it will generate a .nro and a .pck file that can be transferred to your Switch.

If additional debugging is required, sending the nro via nxlink (make sure to send it to the right place with the -p argument) will allow the output of the console to be viewed on PC.
