Hi guys,
I would like to ask you people out there, if you are interested in official ports of open source games like Teeworlds for the 3ds and maybe also the WiiU (I only have minimal knowledge about the WiiU system).
This would mean that they get released to the eshop (planned is for free) after the porting is done.
It would also be helpful to know, if you people would support projects like this on platforms like Kickstarter.
There are many things that need to be checked before its possible to say, if a specific port is possible.
for example there are licenses that need to be checked, because it's for example not possible to simply release the source at the end of development, because it would leak sdk information (It's at least what I think).
It's also not only the games license that need to get checked, but also the licenses of the used libraries need get checked for this.
Also its not allowed to communicate with other platforms without Nintendos permission, so Nintendo would need to permit it every time a game gets ported.
If there is enough interesst in supporting it on Kickstarter, I would try to get enough money to make it as my main job for the next time.
After porting, I would release the games for free, and maybe add some buyable in games items like skins to them, to allow the porting of other games in the future.
I don't know yet how long it would take to port them, but I think it should get slightly faster after some ports are finished.
Also I didn't knew where the best place for a poll like this would be, so I choose this area.
Edit: I choosed to not do this project this way, because it would have been a realy big risk, but maybe I will work on it in my spare time, which also means, that you could not expect a release in the near future.
