Ren'Py Trying to compile to Android

[sum_timmy]

Hello there,
im currently trying to build an APK Build of the Game Parasite Black as there wasnt one in a long time , i succesfully compressed the Pictures and Videos and also successfully build the apk , but sadly after the android renpy loading screen the game crashes so i wanted to ask if anyone who has expertise in this may knows a fix or possible problems?
Thanks in advance!!

I'm not an expert in the specifics of what works/does not work in Android builds.

However here is my two cents:

Parasite Black is a fairly old game with what appears to be some quite complex internal systems (when compared to more basic VNs).

There are all sorts of tricky coding that developers might try to force Renpy to work in a different way than the framework is intended. Fighting the framework, as it were. If this sort of stuff is going on (like messing with various "python init" blocks, or using python code blocks or objects in various ways to try to get around renpy's "limitations") then it would dramatically raise the likelihood of problems when in a constrained environment.

I guess that doesn't help much, just discourages you.

There are some modders who specifically work on the issues aroundporting games to Android: Wills747, (and another who has done a bunch of conversions but I can't remember the account name or find the thread)

thank you for your information , well i wouldnt call it discourage but it made it a bit harder lets say but sometimes i just wanna relax in bed and play there so maybe i can find out a workaround (like maybe fixing it on joyplay)
