Hi,
For a while now I've been looking through tutorials on how to go about creating a mobile multilayer game but every tutorial seems to follow the same pattern of running two separate GM programs, one being the client and the other being the server. Is it possible to create a mobile multiplayer game simply for two players (who are in relatively close proximity, most likely on the same wifi or even just on cellular data) to be able to connect and see the other player other on screen?

the tutorials that you describe can be used to set a game in a lan or wifi, it doesnt matter if is android or PC, you can even connect both platforms, but you will always need someone act as a client an the other one as a server, you can also setup a server so both players can connect to this, but in either case a host or server is required
