I also registered as a Nintendo Developer and wrote them a lengthy letter. I doubt it will change their mind that easily but i did what i can. Basically it should be about HTML5 support on Nintendo Consoles in general so maybe we should join forces with the Phaser, GDevelop etc. communities and storm their offices in Kyoto <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy">

EDIT: i wrote to the phaser.io developers on their discord and got some more signatures from them too <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink"> They're also going to add the link to the petition to the next phaser newsletter.

Very much agree with you and while it very probably won't make much of a difference it's still interesting to see, how many developers would actually be interested in Switch support plus, in case you're planning on writing Nintendo, at least you got some sort of proof, that there is a demand for it

No parade here, just think if it doesn't help, it doesn't hurt either

Yeah i mean it's a very long shot but at least i can tell myself that i tried what i could

Gotcha, gonna write them now

Oh wow, over 80 people signed so far, thank guys!

I registered with Nintendo as a developer so i could get access to their holy halls so to speak (heh heh) and also, because i'm developing a commercial game and you never know, might want to bring that to the Switch one day.

In any case, as soon as we hit 100 signatures, i'm planning on writing them an E-Mail stating our intention.

But i just wanted to ask Ashley , what exactly it would be, that you would need Nintendo to do on their part, so you could port your engine over? Sorry, non-tech person here and i just want to make sure, i'm writing an actually INFORMED letter to them.

If you could explain to me the difficulties and what effort Nintendo would have to bring, that would be great, thank you.

And thanks to everyone who signed!

Maybe to specify: i'm using a 2016 Macbook 13" with 16GB of Ram but the onboard Intel Graphics Chip. When i switch to the dark theme there's a considerable lag on this machine. When i go back to the default one, everything works fine.

Maybe it has something to do with the Macbook being underpowered although i think it should be good enough to show an Editor with a dark theme without lagging

Hi!

I don't have this issue but i noticed some slowdown in Construct in general on my Macbook, when i have the dark theme activated. Maybe switch to the default one (none) and try again if it's still as slow. This sped it up for me immensely. On my iMac at work i don't have the problem...

Guess you can't be right all the time, technically you can also do it in After Effects, my bad

I don't know of any details but i saw Ashley tweeting this once:

Might give some indication of some things that are to be expected <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink">

Geez man, drama much? No need to freak out, it's just software

Unfortunately, if you don't use a project folder based file i guess that's the only way to update your animation as in every other game engine. I agree though, it'd be nice to actually select multiple frames at once but i'd guess they could implement that pretty easily. If you have the desktop version you can just replace your frames in your folder where they're stored but other than that i wouldn't know how to do it differently as it is the same in every animation software there is i.e.

Hope this helps.

Hi Guys

I started a change.org petition recently about bringing HTML5 and Construct Support in general to the Switch. Of course there's absolutely no guarantee it will change Nintendo's mind and from their POV they maybe couldn't care less but still, i think the more people sign it, the more proof we will have in case some of us want to approach them directly. I would definitely write them an E-Mail but unfortunately have no idea, where i should send it. Also i kinda want to see, if we maybe get to like 200 signatures or something just to show them, that there are actual developers using the platform that have an interest in publishing to the Switch.

So please take a few minutes and sign the petition here:

Honestly, if you're in a football club or anything at least over in the western world, you're likely to pay at least 99 bucks for an annual membership fee as well. So every hobby has some sort of cost. If making games is a hobby to you, then of course it's up to you, but 99 bucks A YEAR really isn't that bad i find even for hobbiests and definitely not for developers working on a commercial product like myself.
