Looks like the ability to read is no longer a prerequisite for Amazon drivers. One package for a different street, one for two doors away, no sign of mine šŸ‘Œ

The latest iOS update must include a hand warmer app, judging by the temperature of my phone after installing it šŸ”„

The #DMADesign talk at #ZZAPLive I really enjoyed this... was great having the guys down there to hang out with for the weekend..... #Lemmings #retrogaming #gamedev #amiga #atari #msdos www.youtube.com/watch?v=wim-...

I get so little engagement on here if I don't use hashtags. Apparently I have 2.5k followers. I'm guessing 90% of those are bots šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

It's the 35th anniversary of Microsoft's Solitaire today.

I've removed my 107k score from the Rockhopper leaderboard. Hopefully that kicks off a Battle Royale for the top spot 🐧

Two more days of zero downloads and the penguin gets it #GameDev šŸ§šŸ”«

Boom! Broke the 100k barrier. That game alone took just over 25 minutes so things were getting a bit twitchy at the 90k mark. Will remove myself from the leaderboard after the weekend #GameDev #Godot

Friday Freebie. Help a poor indie dev get noticed on the App Store 🐧

A/B testing continuous style screenshots for Rockhopper to try and bump the product page conversion rate up from 5% #GameDev #Godot

The levels leaderboard now has 5 players. Doesn't sound like much but you need to finish all 20 levels to submit your score and the fact that a few people have taken time to do that is pretty cool #GameDev

Wee bit cheeky for the developer to have the high score on their own game but it's good bounds testing šŸ˜ I'll wipe my score when I hit 100k or the leaderboard reaches 50 players #GameDev

Grab Rockhopper from the App Store while it still exists. Need to pay my Apple Developer fee soon and that might not be happening #GameDev #IndieDev apps.apple.com/app/6504028206

Starting to think Rockhopper is just way too difficult for most "modern" mobile gamers. Only six scores higher than 20k in the Survival leaderboard and only three people have finished all 20 levels. I won't be making it easier though, just needs to find the right audience šŸ˜

Working with Xcode really makes you appreciate how good Visual Studio and VS Code are.

🐧 Rockhopper App Store Analytics - April 🐧 3329 impressions (+869 from Mar) 196 page views (+82 from Mar) 23 downloads (+12 from Mar) 0 IAPs (deactivated) #GameDev #IndieDev #MobileGames #iOS

Fastest completion times for all 20 levels in Rockhopper. I’m pretty confident that none of these can be improved on #GameDev #IndieDev

Grass cut, antihistamine double-dropped ... is midday too early for beer?

Grab this 100% FREE iPhone / iPad game for some highly frustrating, non-relaxing fun in the weekend sun šŸŒž #IndieDev #GameDev apps.apple.com/app/6504028206

Absolute laziness #Swift compiler. You need to take a UInt32 hard look at yourself.

Interview with Keith Hamilton on #GTA and speculating on the upcoming #GTAVI It'll be a huge release, with not just gamers sitting up and taking notice. No matter who fronts the news/interviews, never forget the game is made by hundreds of developers. news.sky.com/story/how-ch...
