Hello, I am thinking about buying AGK2 + Model 2-Sprite + book.
I need to know how it works.

If I write a game in Basic for Android, in AGK2. It is necessary to run this game in AppGameKit Player or directly on the Android like apk?
Thanks in advance!

The AppGameKit Player is just there to test your app through the AGK2-IDE (Broadcast feature).

If you think your app is ready to hit the store, you can simply export it as Android APK
AGK2 has a build-in export as apk option

It's actually slightly unnerving. You press F6 (on the IDE) and your app appears (reasonably) instantly on all your devices.

On Tier 1 you are actually running the game on AppGameKit Player when you release it into the Play Store or whatever, but it's hidden so you don't realise it. I think This is a big advantage because you are running it on the same platform you tested it on.

Even though AppGameKit is really cheap there is a free trial of AppGameKit 1 which is similar enough to give you a feel of it.

Just one little question It is a license for 1 PC, or I can then AppGameKit 2 to install e.g. to 2 PCs or flash drive?

I read an official response before that you can install the standalone version mant times but use only one installation at the same time.
