Hi again,

I have passed on your request to support Roku to our coding team.
Hopefully this is something we can investigate adding in the future.

Thanks for getting in contact with us.

    I think probably Roku will be more limited than what you're used to. One example is that, so far, it's only possible to get the input from one button push at a time.

    I don't know the controls on that as I haven't played it, possibly motion controller, or maybe you have to let go of direction before pressing jump, not sure. Maybe someone else here has played it.

    You can't. There is no Roku module for GameMaker.

    Possible? Yes.
    Likely to happen? I doubt it.

    But here is some fuel for speculations: said YoYo Games is located apparently somewhere in Dundee, Scotland.
    Anybody want to take a guess where Cobra Mobile Ltd (who made "storm in a teacup" as well as half a dozen other games for Roku) is situated? 8-)
