In our work on porting Rue Valley across multiple platforms, we focused on adapting core systems and ensuring consistent performance and quality on each target device. One of the key areas was revisiting and adjusting the save system to meet the specific requirements of each platform, ensuring stability and compliance.
We also carried out a full asset review, adapting content to match the technical constraints and capabilities of each console. Alongside this, we implemented optimization and performance improvements to achieve the best possible balance between visual quality and runtime efficiency.
A critical part of the process was ensuring full compliance with each platform’s TRCs, addressing all technical and certification requirements to guarantee a smooth release.
One of the main challenges we faced was reworking the shadow system. Maintaining visual quality while achieving stable performance proved particularly demanding, especially on Nintendo Switch, where shadows had a significant impact on performance. Through careful adjustments and optimization, we were able to preserve the intended look of the game without compromising performance.
