I need some help : the Android port problem

Hello !
   As some of you probably know, yesterday I (finally) published the full release for 0.12, for my 5$ supporters and higher (which means it'll be released for all paying supporter in two days, and publicly next monday). But what was visibly missing was the Android version of it. So let me explain what's happening, and why I need your help.


The Android port problem :

   Since the first versions of my game, I've always tried to release an Android version of it. I know a sizable chunk of the players exclusively use it, and it would be a shame to not give them access to my work.
   But if you've been playing porn games on Android, you've probably noticed that very few game made in RPG Maker (the engine I'm using) have an Android version. I honestly think I'm one of the fews devs to do that. Why ? Because it's a pain to do, and a results in a buggy mess.

   I spent a few weeks trying to make a port work correctly a few years ago, and man, it was a quite the headache. While RPG Maker MV have an option to export a game as an android version, it flat out doesn't work. So I had to take some obscure forum post, try to apply what they said, fix a ton of errors that came with this method, to finally come with a working solution. Thing is : I'm not a programmer, I have zero coding skill, except the few I had to learn to make RPGM work. Overall, it was a big pain, and I often have to go back to the tutorial I wrote at that time to see how I was doing it.

   The port was okay. Nothing crazy, but working. But as the game grew bigger, more and more things started to be bugged. Some plugins I'm using don't seem compatible with this method (or the port itself, not sure). You have a black screen for the quest book. You don't have the popup the remind you what you did after loading a save, which is also use to make older saves work nicely. And speaking of older saves, you just can't import them. And there's quite a few others problems here and there I'm not aware of.
   And the problem with all that is that even if I know that it's bugged and not working, I can't do anything about it. It's working nicely on PC, why is it not working there ? No fuckign idea ! How do I fix it ? No fucking idea. And that's a big pain for me. To know there's some pretty big problems, and all I can say is "Yeah, I know. I can't fix them, sorry." That's extremely frustrating.

   To make that Android port possible, I used Android studio, and app specifically made for Android applications, and things related to it (well ,from what I know, maybe there's more). And when I tried to launch yesterday, to make the Android port, SURPRISE ! A big update was done there, and now nothing work as it did previously ! I was completly unable to make it work, and just dropped the port for this time.

   So could I try to learn how this new version work, and try making that Android port nonetheless ? Probably !
Do I want to sunk hours of work into a result that I know will be mediocre at best ? Fuck no !
That's what bring me to the second part !


I need your help !

   Now that I have a big community, maybe I can find someone to help me with this. I'm tired of releasing a buggy mess for the Android port, and I would love to have a clean version that I'm not ashamed to share. That's where I need you !

   I need someone that would be able to create a tool to make a clean port possible. The best would be to have a tool usable by anyone to easily make this kind of port. But yeah, I want to see if there's someone out there that can help me make a clean port, that's not the buggy mess I had to post before. Please, if you think you can help me on that, contact me.

   Let's be clear : I have no fucking idea how this would work, or even if it's really possible. I'm not a programmer, and I know very few about all that. But I want to take my shot, and see if something can be done ! Because having an easy to make a clean Android port would greatly help everyone, and not just myself.

   Lastly, I want to say that this can be a lot of work, and I know that. I'm ready to pay the person that would do it. To the point I can afford, of course. Which might not be a colossal amount, but I like to have work being paid.

   So yes, if you think you have the skill to do something like that and you wnat to help, you're very welcome. Please contact me (here, on discord or on twitter/bluesky), so that we can talk about that, and see if we can make something !

In the meantime, enjoy the game, and sorry to all Android players, I hope we'll be able to come up with a solution for all this soon !

Thanks for taking the time to read, and see you soon !
