How to implement a 'transfer game' option

[Roix]

Hi all,

I am by no means a programmer, so please explain things to me as if I've just learned the alphabet. I sometimes have trouble understanding the documents out there already on how to work things in Renpy.

I'm developing a VN for android and iOS. The model is pay-per-route. I wanted to give players the option to transfer their game. So if they delete their game and reinstall it, or if they want to install the game on another device, or transfer it from android to iOS (or vice versa) how would I go about doing this? It would involve generating a code that is unique to each user, which would then transfer their purchases over.

Failing that, if you know someone or are someone who could implement this for a fee, please feel free to message me with your price.

If there is another thread, please do direct me to it, though I searched and couldn't really find anything.

Basically, this is entirely against the terms of service of the Android and iOS app stores. So it can't be done.

Google already handles this.
You deleted your game? Google knows you still own it. It also knows all your save data, though I'm not sure if that works with a Ren'Py game.
As long as you log into the same google play account, you'll have access to anything and everything you ever downloaded or purchased.

So to summarise, you do nothing. It is up to a player to login to the same account when they buy a new phone.
