Time to call it quits on my #IndieDev adventure. Really enjoyed learning #Godot and really happy that I released a half-decent mobile game but the lack of income is unsustainable. Good luck #GameDev folks, hope it all works out for you 🐧

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 👌

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

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 🤷‍♂️

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

A/B testing continuous style screenshots for Rockhopper to try and bump the product page conversion rate up from 5% #GameDev #Godot
May 15, 2025 at 2:34 PM
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
Fastest completion times for all 20 levels in Rockhopper. I’m pretty confident that none of these can be improved on #GameDev #IndieDev
May 12, 2025 at 5:40 PM
Wee bit cheeky for the developer to have the high score on their own game but it's good bounds testing 😏 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 😏

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