Well, it seemed like I almost went into septic shock and I was none the wiser to it...
Had some antibiotics and I'm feeling much better now. 🙂

I have to go to an appointment tomorrow I've been waiting for since about April, an "Urgent Dermatology" appointment.
It seems very urgent when it can wait for over half a year 🥲
Don't get me started on my partner's Cardiology appointment which she's been waiting even longer for 😦

Update 1.6.1 is underway!
Haven't tested it yet but it should stop the bombardment of log in prompts, and not have the ad buttons go in minus time to refresh 🙂
Also putting in the Dark Forest Story Levels in. Forgot how tedious it can be to put all of them together and balance everything🥲 #indiedev

I'm currently in the hospital for my partner Emma, who isn't doing well at all 😞
At least 5 hours of waiting time, it's very busy 😮💨

I just want to clarify my game 'Benji!' does *not* have in-game purchases. No micro-transactions now or ever.
It is completely free to play!
In order to upload to Google Play I need to have some services enabled that automatically trigger the "in-app purchases" message even when I don't use it.

There is this Unity Ad that shows up every now and then which is from this game, where their main character is eating a 💩-icecream. He then needs to 💩 badly but the toilet is occupied by a zombie so he 💩's himself.. AND IS HAPPY ABOUT IT.
How did that pass their regulations?! 😵

Remember to optimise your assets, like images that are used in your game!
I reduced the majority of my images by like 75% because it was too big for Google, and it now accepted my update!
left = unoptimised, right = optimised.
That's about 32x smaller and no quality loss either!

Rolling out a new update which should be available soon!
It fixes a login issue (by momentarily disabling it so I can add google services (forgot to do that (lol)))
and it introduces a
NEW Wardrobe Menu! 👀
It also has some optimisations so that the images are not that huge!..

Benji 1.6.0 is now under review! It's probably gonna take a while, seeing as it is a "new app" so maybe tomorrow?
Here's to hoping, but I'm gonna try and crank another update out within two weeks for spooky reasons! 🎃 👻

So unfortunately I have a major issue that prevents me from uploading a new release to my app on Google Console.
It's gonna take a couple days, but I'm creating a new app release under a different com. name, which means for this next update you'll need to uninstall and reinstall a different Benji.

Unreal successfully builds the Benji .apk 🥳
After some testing found there were some tweaks that needed to be made.. but that's easy 😅
Now for the game not to be rejected, just in case 😵

The universe is testing my patience. Stuff going wrong with building and then the internet drops out the whole afternoon so I can't look up solutions 🥲
Found (most of) the issues and still trying to build.
Hopefully playtesting on my phone after will go fine too!
I'll get it done. 😤👍🏻

So I did run into a couple problems with building the new Benji version
For some reason all new files have a utf-16 encoding on them and Unreal doesn't like it.
So it sounds like an easy fix right? Just change it to utf-8 🤷🏻
How does one do that? 🙂

I'm that kind of gamer that likes seeing lists of stats and accomplishments so there's gonna be some extra stats to it that just fun tid-bits of knowledge of how you're doing on one screen 🤩
Yes I am doing essential work too!
