    I was browsing some forums and I came across a topic in regards to using UNET with Android's Bluetooth modules, and it got me thinking. In what ways does UNET actually work with Android? I would assume it works normally when connected with VIA on your smartphone or whatever device, and you would also be able to play via LAN with other users on the same network as you (in theory), but is that the only way UNET will work? I read somewhere that Bluetooth was a no-go, and I'm pretty sure that you can't host servers etc via smartphone haha. Bluetooth is what really interested me. I love the idea of playing locally with as buddy, as I feel it's the best experience gaming has to offer. Any thoughts on the possibility of this?

    It works though Wifi/internet connection on the phone, just like on desktops etc. We don't support communication though bluetooth and it's not on the immediate roadmap.

    You can host on Android using the multiplayer feature. Just need to account for the limitations of it's processing power.

    We are considering to add wifi direct (as minimum it is in our plans) Bluetooth support is interesting too. As Larus said is not in our immediate roadmap, hence I like your idea and will take a look what we can do here :)

    Sounds like Bluetooth ad-hoc or NFC. Are both of these considered also?

    I would love this feature in the future, and personally I think it would appeal to a niche audience in the future, so thanks for the consideration! Also, thank you for taking the time to answer this!
