Vietnam Gov't: so if you want to keep selling your games in Vietnam, here are the hoops we decided you have to jump through (decree 147) Me: <removes all games from Vietnam app store> uhh, nope That's only 2 out of 175 I can't sell in right now, but is this a sign of more to come? #gamedev

Adding IAP to this #Solar2d game has been a side quest: - find a plugin - author has abandoned it - fork it - comb the forums for people’s suggested changes - ask active users for suggested changes - clean up and debug the code 2 weeks later, finally on-device testing can start #gamedev

I haven’t done any programming, haven’t touched a computer for two weeks. That’s a long time for me, but there is no stress about it now. Not so many years ago I would have been quite anxious to get back to it.

It’s 2025. I cannot count the number of times I have needed to delete this stupid album from every stupid new device I sign into. You’d think that deleting it would actually delete it, but no. It’s a fucking zombie.

I am taking another break from #gamedev about 10 days or so. I feel like my latest game is about 90% done, so I’ll be excited to finish the other 90% when I’m back

My wife doesn't really play mobile games. I asked her to play test this latest one for me... "I'm not losing, so it must not be difficult enough yet" 😘
