Make android games - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
Someone here who makes games? What language do you use or game engine? I'm using Unity right now but am thinking of switching to some drag and drop game engine.

[Q] Unity 3D games porting?

If we can play some Unity 3D games (etc.: Counter-Strike) on android, so I have a question how to port these games to android?
Is there any way to play games like these?:

"Is there any way to play games like these?"
Yes, it is if you will not use to many effects, like particles etc.
You can try to compile Angry Bots, it's working on my Galaxy Tab 10.1

If you use Unity it's not so hard. Will need to make a lot of optimisation if you wanna port some big
You can not use dynamic shadows, it's not supported for mobile yet.
Maybe you have to connect some objects in bigger meshes, you can use MeshMerger script - it's on UniWiki. Use texture atlases to create conected materials.
Some scripts will need small fixes, if not: you are home

Unreal 3 games port on Android

I was wondering if anybody knows a way to run unreal 3 pc games on android...and a way to export them? I think that most of the files are identical on pc xbox ps3 and android so we will need them and an apk to do the other job.

Actually no, the files are not identical. I have done quite a bit of tinkering on both PC and console Unreal 3 games. The console resources are all optmized and packed according to the target platform, to make loading faster and enable streaming load on platforms with low RAM(eg consoles). Also even you got around that(no public SDK available that can convert to/from the console specific formats(and i'm guessing that includes android) you would need to find a way to handle all the different scripting commands and platform specific functions.
Very interesting.

it is possible if you have source code of game & in-depth knowledge of game development on android & PC but it will be very hard to port an HD heavy graphics PC game on android and you have too many programming barriers to port PC game to android like codes for C++ of pc may not properly work on Android NDK or you may have to write the full java source code instead of C++ for android
so 20% chances are there to port
press thanks if i hepl you
Life is Strange, isn't it?
I noticed that Life is Strange is on the Unreal Engine, I asked the developers on Twitter to port it, I don't see how it isn't possible.
We can play every single TellTale Game on Android, Goat Simulator, Slender, and even Call of Duty and Turbo Dismount. Saying it's impossible is stupid. If the game was literally built on an engine that can have a selection to Android just like that, how is it impossible? Not to mention San Andreas is possible? GTA III? It's literally stupid to say it's impossible, and one day I'll be a game developer and figure it out myself.

[Q]Creating graphics for Games in C#

Hi Guys,
I have recently started developing Android apps using C#(Mono Droid), with Xamarin. So i developed a few small apps for practice with whatever i could read off on mono droid. But i am wondering how do they create the graphics in games and how to go about it in Mono Droid?
I recommend you to start learning Unity3d engine. It is easy for use and has greate perfomance in 3d graphics on mobile platforms. You can use C# for scripting.

Unity
It certainly is a big task you've set for yourself, especially if you don't have much experience with developing. Don't expect to succeed at first, start small. That being said, Unity is most likely the way to go. I would be able to make all that you talk about with unity (though multiplayer is no easy feat) and maybe some 3D modeling software like blender or Cinema 4D. You should start by watching some basic tutorials on unity, then work on small games using parts of what you want to use in your big game, once you have a good grip on most of the parts (like physics, network and such) you might just be able to make that game Best of luck, I hope this help.
Edit: Plus you'll be able to publish on multiple platforms!

ppsspp thread

Hello, I thought I would start a post about ppsspp. For those who don't know it is a psp emulator. It can be downloaded free on the play store but the newest automatic builds at the bottom of the downloads section on the ppsspp website can sometimes run better. Please suggest any good games you find and any suggested settings.
I have been playing Hexyz Force and Final Fantasy type 0.
Hexyz runs very well but the simulate block transfer setting has to be enabled in graphics settings to work correctly. This game is a jrpg akin to the psx final fantasy games.
Final fantasy type 0 will only run correctly if the multi core setting is disabled in system setting. Type 0 is a more action rpg type game with none of the classic final fantasy turn based battles.
Is your FF0 english patched and what Settings are you using, i haven't tried the ppsspp yet on my Z3, last time i used this is back when i own an xperia play.
Yes it's English patched, the biggest speed boost is from turning multi core off and non buffered rendering. With those settings it runs quite well.
The Crisis Core with Z3 is Fully Functional by the default Settings, but the Graphics is Pixelated, so i wanted to know what needs to be adjusted to get the best graphics without compromising the Performance.
Has anyone been able to run Motorstorm?
although i have the actual umd and a psp i wanna play it on my z3 hehe
3 games in my phone. Need for speed most wanted, fifa street 2 & motogp.
I can play harvest moon and persona 3 portable without any problems!
