I also know a few things about this stuff. You know I'm always in IRC if you need me . Though you can probably PM me there because backlogs are huge in the main chat.
Also
No Android game should require Root
There are tools to extract lines from games. There are a few available at http://tlwiki.org/index.php?title=Tools
I think most people would prefer to translate lines from the extracted lines. Playing the game takes longer and is slower.
I think a way to do it better might be to package everything patched into an installer anyways?
That way it would be able to create shortcuts and run anything that needs to be run in the registry. Games that need Japanese Locales could probably have that checked during the install.
I would say for a basic game you need:
Idea - Easy enough to get
Programmer/Developer - To make the game
Graphics - Something to see
Audio - Something to hear
Probably need more as the game gets more complicated
No reason a single person can't do all of this. See Blendo Games who made Gravity Bone and Atom Zombie Smasher.
Haha how did my thing get on that list?
It's not even closed to being done yet. I've also started a complete rewrite of it which runs alot better on Android.
If I remember correctly that version doesn't even support sprites.
You and me have a similar seedbox at OVH/Kimsufi though right? I also never get past 7-8 mb/s.
Also I think our boxes are only 100 megabits/s while Kendjin has a gigabit/s
I'm sure he won't mind. OVH's traffic monitor is completely off sometimes, it says since the 20th, I've used 300 MB and have 5 TB of bandwidth remaining.
