Lol Joseph, take as long as you want - you're a true champion mate

APK is for Android right? I never worked with Android personally. But what exactly is needed to make such packages?

We already have working Android port: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=44768.0
Josepth Di Perla have some program for installing Android games: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=47475.0

What is missing?
I would like to provide some help, if that will be in my power.

Those ports are great, I mean that - and I use the AGS port on my HTC to play classic AGS games. But to play those the player has to download the AGS Port and copy the game itself to their SD Card/phone which for a casual Android game-player, isn't something they'd be likely to do or know how to do.

A single APK file is what's downloaded from the Android Marketplace and self-installs on the customer's phone without the need for any of the above. Basically, you can have your game there on the Google Marketplace/Play Store alongside other classic titles such as Angry Birds, Broken Sword, and so on

As I've said a million times, having the ability to package our games up as an APK would be a true God send. Imagine the possibilities for indie developers?

Hi, yes, but I'm just after an app that converts it in to an APK that can be uploaded to the Google Market and downloaded by others with no need for additional applications.

Excellent idea. I take it this has fallen through though now? If not, any idea when it will be ready, if at all?

It's been officially announced:

My biggest fear is that the 2D will be the new 'Flash-style' animation/drawings as seen in the Director's cut of Broken Sword. It sticks out like a sore thumb and really takes away that look of the first 2 original games.

There's no solid plans on a demo release BUT I am toying with the idea of releasing this in Chapters, ala TellTale Games. If this is the case, I doubt I'll release a playable demo.

Revolution have announced it, finally.

You can watch the trailer/pledge, here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/165500047/broken-sword-the-serpents-curse-adventure

I'm loving the style. Very Runaway.

Excited? I am! I can't wait for this.

A new background has been added:

Ah right. I'm only at the beginning so have only really heard Ben, Percy and the Librarian.

Absolutely loving it! My only gripe (sorry!) is the low recording quality of Ben's voice - he sounds very muffled against everyone else. But apart from that, EXCELLENT!

Excellent work! These really are magnificent renders and definitely have that right look. Each background seems to be bursting with magic. All the best with this project!

It's all been built and coded within AGS yes.

Wow...that IS me.

Yes there's 2 people working on the 3D design which could explain the changes - Micamic, and myself. I'm actually rather happy with the final render. I think Micamic said it was rendered with the 3D software's own renderer. I reckon otherwise we'd have been waiting months with all the water animations and lighting.

Only 2 more month to go before we witness the end of an amazing era

Loving these replies! lol...I think that's the answer though - I'm British. Simple as that.

Lol, it's being worked on about 10 hours a day. I'm a self-employed graphic designer by trade and keep putting the bloody game before any of my work...it's not good lol.

Well that makes me feel better actually! lol. It's cooling down now so everyone's back in door so it's not too bad. I will admit that I'm addicted to the computer though :/
