Godot Version

4.6.3-stable

Question

I am interested in exploring the creation of export templates for consoles, I am already a fully registered developer and have the necissary access and equipment along with several years working with the various platforms.

Looking around I haven’t found any documentation that specifically outlines the process of an export, or the API, or an empty stubbed export template (this would be super handy I think). If these things do exist please could someone point me in their direction.

Thanks

Graeme

Hi again Graeme,

Under this domain is a list of More communities you can approach, just in case and answer does not arise readily:

I have not tried the contributor chat myself, but it’s mentioned there, so I’m sure they are active:

They may direct you elsewhere again (or back here :smiling_face:)

You’ll have to get in contact with the appropriate folks, as the templates are not part of the open source repository for Google, and are only available to official license and console devkit holders :

Edit : Quoted from the link above

Godot runs on consoles, but export templates must be built with official SDKs and can only be shared privately with approved developers. Several third-party companies offer this middleware under the necessary legal constraints.

Hi,

Ah I didn’t realise there were existing prebuilt options, that is useful to know. I am doing a similar service as those companies so would be quite expensive to license their export templates, plus I would rob myself of the fun challenge of building my own :slight_smile:

Thanks

Graeme
