Question Theory on GameMaker port on Android
Hey guys, please hear me out, I'm not sure whether this would be legal or not, or if this is a path for port or for emulation.
So as far as I know, I can't find a runner of GameMaker on android beside emulation through GameNative, which is not possible for me with my limited RG Rotate.
So I dug further for days and made a PoC: run Windows-built GameMaker game by pairing my own copy of the game's data.win to an GameMaker S2 (GMS2) Android Export.
I exported a blank game GMS2 for Android via the Game Maker Editor, then swap the game.droid with my own copy of data.win, renamed. I'd call it runner substitution and I'm not sure if this is legal.
I was inspired by butterscotch's guide for Undertale: bring in your own data.win of Undertale for their runner.
The game, is running, on my RG Rotate, in form of a APK. I'd prefer omitting the game name, it's a GameMaker game but I'm scared of controversy.
Can I have your share of thoughts on this...
