    Android lets you distribute APK's any way you like, you don't need to use Google Play.
    Also, Google Play has apps on it which break Google's own T&C's.

    So technically you could host a server and distribute the client app NOT have a website and completely avoid getting sent a DMCA (they wouldn't have a way to contact you)?

    Mmmm, Guess so.
    At the moment there's a bit of a problem: Framerate.
    When I increase to fullscreen, the framerate drops considerably.
    Any suggestions?

    In response to the huge FPS issue when the viewport is increased to a HD tablets screen resolution, I have figured out a solution.
    Thanks to Harry, I have decided to migrate all of the rendering of models over to the graphics card through a handy little feature of Android called RenderScript.
    This will allow me to keep the game cycle in-tact, whilst making most of the rendering take part on either unused CPU cores or GPU cores. This means that it's not all bundled into the main thread, which will increase fps significantly.
    The project will soon be going open source. The only thing I request is that the people who use it don't add ridiculous stuff to it, such as modern maps. The loading method of maps has already been optimized for low-power tablets, and replacing it with the default will ruin this.
    PS: The UI will be notably different from the gameframe style. Instead, it will be more like fullscreen RS except with the tabs vertical down the right instead of horizontal.

    if people want to, they're going to. nothing you can do to stop it if you make it open source

    Please bear this in mind when hearing the word 'soon' from a software programmer.

    As coding software generally takes thousands of years, software programmers have developed a natural adaptation to this in the form of an altered perception of the flow of time.

    Due to this, the word 'soon' when uttered by a programmer should be taken to mean 'a very, very long time from now' in the terminology used by common human specimens who have not developed such an adaptation.
    knowledge can be taught, but passion cannot.
    It's better to create something that others criticise than to create nothing and criticise others.
