African Highlander Farmer II needs to prove independence from Unity which is a mandatory & proprietary component required for the digital solution to function by indicating the existence of open functional alternatives that can be used without significant changes to the core product

Thanks for the update @nathanbaleeta much appreciated, however, the codes for AHF were built using Unity as an engine. Unity in no way used, changed, published, or modified directly/indirectly. Unity encourages Open-source projects in unity, below is their open-source advocacy site: https://unity.com/open-projects

Kindly confirm this as the AHF game complied with platform Independence the above to the best of our knowledge.

@osinkolu According to the DPG standard indicator #4 - platform independence, African Highlander Farmer II has mandatory dependencies (Unity) that create more restrictions than the original license. Until the project is able to demonstrate independence from Unity and/or indicate the existence of functional, open alternatives, it still is not platform independent

Hint: can African Highlander Farmer II be maintained or modified outside Unity perhaps using an open alternative game engine like Godot?
