Hi, perhaps try a version that is not Upx compressed? Some AV-software give false positives on all compressed executables.

Thanks for analysing the problem. I don't know why Android now has this requirement but I guess it is something security related. I hope there is a switch in the Freepascal for Android compiler or an update that will fix this. I'll investigate but since it is the middle of summer and I'm working les...

Debugging on Android is indeed very difficult :). I guess that before you get that exception there is shown some other message in the android log that explains why the library cannot be loaded. Can you debug and display the android log? The "r.bat" file in the project folder used to do tha...

After ZGE copied the template files to your project folder it should not overwrite them again if you have modified the files. So you should be able to experiment in your project folder? If you find settings that work with API level 23 then let me know and I'll make a template folder for that.

Sorry you are having such a struggle with this. Its been a while since I did any Android development so I don't have any current knowledge I'm afraid. But if you manually edit the xml-file then there should be a m.bat file in the project path that you can use to rebuild the apk? The apk is a zip fil...

Hi, I was not aware of this .

Perhaps it is enough to manually edit the AndroidManifest.xml file and set minSdkVersion to "26"?

At the risk of repeating myself: It all looks great :). The Guardian background, the tutorials, the cutscenes. Very impressive. And I agree with Ats that it is also very impressive that you manage to not get lost in the project of this size in ZGE. It is most likely the most complex ZGE project so f...

ZGE cannot export a video with transparency information.

However there are many ways of using video inside ZGE itself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yb9VAp5-fQ8
You can even use live video from a webcam.

So you want to export the text only and then combine it in some other tool on top of a video? Do you know you can import video in ZGE and use it as a background directly? So you could have layer A as a Image effect with the IMG SRC set to your video. Add the video "Add content" tab, with t...

In the example I used the first layer with SolidColor effect to show that the text is printed on top of the background. I could have used an Image layer instead with a video playing and the text would show on top of it instead of the green. Perhaps if you post a screenshot of how it looks for you?

Hi, not sure how you mean? The text is painted onto the background, like shown in this image:

Very nice sketches! So you draw on paper then scan and color them on the computer? If you plan to sell your game on a pay-what-you-want basis then you could offer the scanned sketches as an extra to those who pay over a certain amount

Are you sure the doggie can't be used somehow? It would look great in a trailer for the game . If it messes up the camera projection maybe it can be rendered separately to a rendertarget without changing the main game camera.

Real nice stuff . The doggie and the moving background in particular. It is an impressive indicator on how much time you have invested in this project when you have all this "extra material" that is currently not even in the game.

Very nice guardian video . I like the inner99 name too.

It makes me glad to see someone has the perseverance to build something this cool using ZGE.

Thanks for the update.
