A little update regarding FUZE4 for Nintendo Switch. First off is their stance on copyright content.

They have no stance. Basically, because the only way to share content is through the friend list, they aren't using any services like a server for hosting them. So that's one restriction out of the way.

Another potential restriction is the kind of stuff that could be done with FUZE4. MM2 PTC didn't require much except being able to change color palettes, which sadly SmileBasic couldn't do. Their response to me on this is that it is really flexible. The main thing I wanted to know was whether it could do effects like what the SNES could do (including color palettes), and they suggested that it could and more (like SNES-similar things like Mode7, changing things at a scanline level, etc). But what they also mentioned is that one could make a good-looking 3D game at Gamecube levels if they wanted, so that sounds promising.

The last issue I had was with regards to sharing custom content made with projects. With MM2 PTC, one could make their own levels, and they get saved as GRPs that they could share to others in their own way. With FUZE4, sharing is limited to the friend list, but they suggest it won't be limited to the projects themselves, but are working on such custom content sharing.

So all in all, I think I'd be able to port MM2 PTC over. If I were to port it, it'll take some time. Porting is quicker than making something from scratch, but still. I don't have as much free time as I used to.
