I made two arcade cabinets for my local gamedev community and we're swapping the Raspberry Pis for Nintendo Switches - cuz it's easy to find used ones - and so far I've tested it with Godot web exports.

Here's the flow:

• upload Godot web export to itch
• mod your Switch and make it use Emulation Station
• make a script to fetch your build using butler
• run the game in chromium

You'll see in the video v1 of this flow where I got my game Dragon Jump to run.

Could it run smoother? Yes. Is this inefficient? Depends. Considering we want the community to build their own games and be able to test them without doing what I did - I think it's a good compromise for v1.

If anyone is curious about anything in the video or wants to call me a genius - I'll see you in the comments.

My friend has been working his ass off on this Vampire Survivors-style game for the past 2 years, and I really want to see them succeed.

So I took it upon myself to get banned from as many subreddits as possible, hoping they’ll get a few more wishlists before Steam Next Fest.

About the game:

It’s a twist on the survivor-like genre where, instead of you becoming overpowered, your summons do.

You play as a necromancer who raises skeletons and converts enemies into allies while trying to survive until the final boss appears.

It really hits hard when you start from 1-2 little guys and get to a freaking army of minions that takes over the entire screen. I somehow ended up putting 11+ hours into a 15-minute demo just trying out different builds.

In case you want to try it out, here's a link to the demo:

And please, if you have any feedback, drop it down in the comments or in the discord channel. The dude is always open to feedback.

Oh, and one more thing:

he added a feature where people can type !join in Discord, Steam chat, or Twitch chat, and then one of your summons will spawn with their name.
