If you can get an Xbox/PS dev kit you can stand up or just your own abstraction and be done with it.
CYou have to mutilate the thing but it works.
Aopentk on ps? Isn't it opengl?
CYou would have to tear down most of it yeah.
Pwhy do you put OpenTK in spoilers
Pit’s not a forbidden word haha
CJust for fun.
Pin any case most of the issue with console support is one of tooling, not feasibility
Astripping down opentk to get a different backend sounds similar to just using silk.net anyways...?
CYup.
Pyes we could get silk.net running on consoles given the access and the time, but wrapping it up in a nice “dotnet build”/“dotnet run” experience is hard
CAssuming you paid to get it added.
Aif I got far enough in skill to get a dev kit, I think I could sort out getting tooling to work
AI just thought there was no way for dotnet to work on consoles
Pagain we implore anyone looking to port their silk apps to consoles to get in touch, we’ve had engagements with the Xbox middleware team and they said they’re happy to support us provided a licensed developer expressed intent in using silk’s support
PI’d imagine the others would be the same
PXbox specifically is something I want to figure out one day and that realistically everything is in place for
CApply with a game?
CIt helps if you have a publisher and you can mention them but you can do it on your own too.
PI don’t make games
CWhat happened to Kai making one?
Pand most games made by maintainers haven’t been deemed suitable for a port yet
COh.
Awhere can I find maintainers' games?
Plike Beyley has a typing game… doesn’t work well on a console
Mwhat about that one dude's voxel game
Areflex and dexterity training
CThat would sink like a lead balloon with MS.
CAs it is iirc explicitly called a Minecraft clone.
Lit does have controller support
Lits just
LMiserable
Lits the controller support that you see in your nightmares
Mdifferent person
CAh, which did you mean then?
Pyou thinking of vercidium Maxine?
Myeah
Pah yeah, I guess I could reach out to them but what I will say is that the team gets absolutely nothing by adding console support.
AI'm gonna die
Pwe’d be giving ourselves maintainer burden in benefit exclusively of those who have the means to support the project but don’t.
Mfair cop
Lyeah its just button combo simulator
Mhow does it feel, being this guy?
CThat is curl.
PI haven’t been maintaining silk since I was in utero though
Por xz utils apparently
CYeah. :/
Mif big tech doesn't want to be broken into, they should be replying to the "i need a new maintainer" threads
CThere is little/no money in this space. You use your work to get hired or do it because you enjoy it. Until that changes I doubt anyone is going to sponsor development in any meaningful way. Not to devalue your (or my own) work but once people get a window/graphics binding standing they forget about the lib until it breaks or they need documentation or help.
CThe space Silk and OTK occupy is to be transparent. And sadly that means to the wallet too.
