FenixFoxStudios Announces GCubeSDK, a GameCube Development Framework for Homebrew Developers

Osaka, Japan, February 07, 2026 –(PR.com)– GCubeSDK was created in response to the lack of a dedicated game engine for homebrew developers targeting the Nintendo GameCube. Developing a full engine from scratch is not a practical option for many developers, due to the significant time investment and specialized knowledge required to implement rendering, scene management, animation, collision detection, and asset importing systems for the hardware. GCubeSDK is intended to lower this barrier and support the growth of a GameCube homebrew development community, similar to the resurrection seen in recent years on platforms such as the PlayStation 1 and Nintendo 64.

GCubeSDK provides a minimalist GUI for developers who prefer to manage projects visually with a minimum of manual configuration. At the same time, the entire workflow remains fully terminal-capable. Projects can be set up within minutes using the GUI, or developers can work directly with Makefiles and the command line while retaining full control over their development process.

GCubeSDK is currently in active development, with several roadmap items still in progress ahead of the final release. These features are being implemented incrementally. GCubeSDK is now available to be wishlisted on Steam for those interested in following the project’s development.

GCubeSDK is scheduled for release on Steam, where it is currently available for wishlisting:
