Bulb Boy Anthology (PS5, XBOX, Switch)

The Bulb Boy Anthology port was undertaken as a consolidated Unity project, combining Bulb Boy 1 and Bulb Boy 2 into a unified workspace derived from the existing PC builds. Core gameplay systems, scenes, prefabs, and assets were migrated and restructured to support console-specific build targets, configuration profiles, and input requirements. Control schemes and UI navigation were refactored to Unity’s Input System to ensure consistent controller support across all platforms while enabling console-specific functionality such as PlayStation system buttons, Xbox adaptive triggers where appropriate, and Switch handheld versus docked behavior.

Performance adaptation was performed iteratively for each hardware tier. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S benefited from higher performance budgets, allowing stable high-resolution rendering and improved effects, while PS4 and Xbox One required more aggressive memory management, reduced post-processing, and tuned texture import settings. Switch optimization focused on lightweight shaders, lower-resolution texture sets, simplified lighting, and careful batching to maintain stable frame rates. Unity’s platform-aware build pipeline was used to cook and compress assets differently per platform, generating tailored content bundles aligned with each console’s GPU, CPU, and memory constraints.

Compliance and certification requirements were integrated throughout the development cycle. This included implementing platform-native save systems, trophies/achievements, system dialogs, age-rating displays, suspend/resume handling, and correct behavior for user account switching and network loss. Platform SDK features were integrated through Unity plug-ins and custom native bridges where needed. The final result was a single, consolidated Unity codebase that produced optimized, fully compliant console SKUs for PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, delivering a consistent and polished Bulb Boy Anthology experience across all platforms.
