Soft Crunch Games is developing Foxy Dumplings, a cozy cooking and management title, with a core team of four. To manage a simultaneous release across PC, consoles, and mobile, the studio implemented a strict architectural rule: every platform runs the same game from a single codebase and branch. This strategy avoids the need for separate versions or delayed mobile releases.
The team utilizes a facade pattern to isolate platform-specific code, such as achievements or cloud saves, from core gameplay. Input and UI were designed on paper before coding began, ensuring full compatibility with controllers, touchscreens, and mouse-keyboard setups. By treating certification requirements as design constraints, the developers avoided complex features like text input fields.
Programmer Grzegorz Wątroba emphasizes profiling on the weakest hardware, such as the Steam Deck, to optimize performance. The team automated build pipelines to handle over 70 configurations, allowing for rapid testing and consistent quality. While the architecture proved successful, Wątroba notes that earlier access to console development kits would have further streamlined the final submission process.
Foxy Dumplings is scheduled for release in 2027 across PC, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, iOS, and Android. The game supports cross-platform progression via a unified binary save format and Unity Cloud Save integration.
