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.
