platform-console
Platform: Console
Controller-first design, certification compliance, and locked frame rates define console development.
Available Scripts
console_compliance_handler.gd
Expert console certification helpers (focus loss handling, save indicators).
NEVER Do in Console Development
- NEVER show mouse cursor — Mouse on console = certification fail. Controllers only. Hide cursor with
Input.set_mouse_mode(Input.MOUSE_MODE_HIDDEN). - NEVER skip pause on focus loss — User presses Home button without pause = TRC violation. Listen to
NOTIFICATION_APPLICATION_FOCUS_OUT, force pause. - NEVER use unlocked frame rate — Variable FPS = screen tearing + cert fail. Lock to 30 or 60 FPS:
Engine.max_fps = 60+ VSync. - NEVER forget D-Pad navigation — UI only navigable with analog stick? Accessibility fail. MUST support D-Pad for all menus.
- NEVER hardcode button labels — "Press A" on PlayStation shows wrong icon. Use
Input.get_joy_button_string()or platform-specific icon mapping. - NEVER exceed platform memory limits — Switch has ~3.5GB usable RAM. Exceeding = crash/rejection. Profile with Godot Profiler → Memory tab.
