I wonder if there will be a version for android soon, cause i think it would be a great game on my phone. Is it only me that think so?

It would be a great game on a phone - but I doubt your (or any) phone would be powerful enough to run the Clonk game as it is :)

We have no Android developers in the team and even if we had, it's like Zapper said: No Android device so far is capable of running Clonk. :)

What about Nano-Meele-Maps?

Even that would require huge rewrites of parts of the Clonk engine I assume

why developer, searching a compiler should be enough, right?

Which language is used to make clonk? c? If I know I'll search for a compatible compiler. Any important things I should keep in mind?

If you encounter just the slightest problem, no one will be able to help you :) Porting software to another system is more than just finding a compiler.

In addition, I doubt anyone from the team has a PS Vita to test your compiled version.

But of course, feel free to go. The Language is C++

It's in fact much more than that. You need to not only have a (cross-)compiler available but also all the dependencies to build Clonk, an emulator (and/or device) to test. And then, after you spent a few days (being optimistic here) to get it running (and assuming the device is capable of running it at an acceptable speed), you need to make the whole thing enjoyable. This includes redesigning menus and the GUI for smaller screens and adjusting controls, for example.

I googled a bit and found an sdk (with libs), but I just found out that i don't have a PSVita to test.
I have to look for an VM first to test.
