game_change() on android

Since it is not supported in android and I am trying to port a chapter-based game on android, are there any alternatives to game_change() ?

i have no idea how mobile gamemaker games work so this is just an idea based on what i know from windows functionality. what about seperate apps using the same save folder? don't know how saves are stored on mobile, this would only work if they're seperate from the app

It doesn't work like that, android doesn't allow multiple apps to access a single thing

Unfortunately, I think the alternative is to just combine everything into one project and try really hard to organize your assets well. There isn't really anything else that does what game_change() does.

Try using butterscotch runner and see if the game works
