Is there a way of of packaging up a self-made game as an apk for install along with scummVM?

I tried searching for this type of info, but don't know what search terms to put in...

This must be your first time using scummvm and/or your first time on the forum. You do understand that scummvm is by lamens terms an emulator (not really but to simplify things for you to understand). This means there is actually NO GAMES in scummvm at all - just plugins that allow you to run a games files if you have it. Take for instance Kings Quest 6 game (my favorite point and click Sierra game) is NOT included in scummvm to play after I install the apk/plugin that allows it to run sci engine games... but I do own the original cd and placed the data files in a folder the scummvm read as the game.

In other words, no - you can't do what you asked above. Just like a Super Nintendo emulator for android , it includes no games - requires games/roms of your own.

Now if you are trying to get something you made turned into an apk, this is not the right forum to be asking as this is about scummvm - how does your self made game pertain to scummvm is beyond my understanding...

EDIT: Now if you are trying to make a game into apk to run on scummvm - that's not how scummvm works either. To get the game running though, The data files must be compatible with one of the many scummvm plugin apks. It's highly unlikely your game is but you can try putting the data files in a folder you know and try adding the game through scummvm's menu. If it can't be found it won't run.

OK, that means this platform will not be of much use for what I was wanting to do. My target end users are "technology challenged".

Oh well...

Try google with "creating android apk files", there seem plenty of howtos on it. Installing binary files shouldn't be much of a problem. The trick is letting it depend on a ScummVM package and plugin. And I assume you also want the scummvm.ini file automaticly updated with it. I have no experience with this at all. Be also aware that you are very close to breaking forum rule #0.

It depends on what engine your game is based on. Also may I ask, what is your goal?
