Everyone else is at it, might as well plug my game into the void #YourAISlopBoresMe #GameDev

The App Store is so oversaturated and dominated by the usual suspects. I can't even give my game away, let alone charge anything for it.

I wrote a small post about what I consider a successful game 👇

Wow, that's a steal. I've got a G9 as well, think it was about £1400 three years ago. They're so lightweight, my work Dell feels like a breeze block compared to the Lenovo.

Great laptop the X1 Carbon. I have the same one 👍

Looking through #NextFest trailers and glad I'm not trying to make a living from #GameDev. The bar is so high, I wouldn't stand a chance.

Really enjoyed the demo, the two different modes make for very different gameplay experiences 😎 In chill mode I thought the word totalling could be a bit quicker and also found I kept trying to use the "£" symbol as an E, not an L. Hope this is useful.

Trying to resist watching it all at once so I've only seen the first two eps. Mackenzie Crook always delivers.

First download of 2026 yesterday. Was probably an Apple bot keeping me on the hook for this years developer fee. Also had a couple of nice reviews, so really appreciate that 🐧

Happy 35th #Lemmings anniversary!

Who'd have thought, 35 years later we'd still be talking about these little guys.

Zero Rockhopper downloads this year, so will give it one final push. If you have the game already then a quick rating would really help get back on Apple's radar apps.apple.com/app/6504028206 #GameDev #IndieDev #Godot

Tomorrow I will share what January 2026 has been like as an indie developer when I stream the business review.

On Jan 23, 1996 the official Java JDK 1.0 was released. Coding resources have changed a bit in 30 years #java #dev

Demo looks amazing 🤩 I appreciate it's WIP but have you tried flipping the star in the logo so it looks like the letter A?

A couple of downloads and a rating. Doesn't sound like much but seeing some blue on App Analytics gives me a boost 😍 #IndieDev

40 years ago on Christmas day both my #C64 and the #VIC-20 I sold to pay for it stopped working. Took until February before they were repaired and I could play my new games.

That looks ever so slightly precarious 🫣

Definitely one of the best games ever created. The simplicity of having to sacrifice a good weapon to progress your score was pure genius.
