discussion Android - is there a reason not every game has them?

[FourTimes]

Thanks for the effort! I've seen his older games converted before but this one looks to be more complex. Shame since it has a good build.

Oh never mind the direct x is actually in winlator included but it is only up to d3dx10 and since it is inside the app itself i have no access to updating it.In the future it should be updated,how much in the future i cant say

most renpy games have no reason, most other engines requires the dev to work a lot more, like setting up touch input on unreal and unity.

Some games get severely broken when you try to convert them to android.

Yup, there are some insanely talented porters that can write the bit of code needed to fix that tho. Unfortunately there aren't enough of them to do every game ever tho

Very thankful to the few Android porters out there!

Fortunately there are plenty of android porters available now for games that won't work with JoiPlay. If not, then I won't be playing them.

I mean even if the conversion is relatively easy stuff like the UI would still need to be adjusted and would taske extra work

I sometimes think "I could do ports" then I read and dig a bit, and decide it's not for me, more porters please!
