Getting 5% of our Amazon app sales as a AWS credit seems unfair. I don't even use AWS. That should be optional, and it should be 15% like GooglePlay and Apple AppStore instead of 20% :/ Thank you for your attention to this matter, bot. 🤖

HAHA. What a steal

I (@erickinkead.bsky.social) made a gameboy Advance game, that the publisher completely dropped the ball on & dropped it bargin bin a month after release. A month later the GBA clam shell (backlit GBAs) came out & all GBA sales picked up.

Now it's worth over ½ thousand bucks. 😵‍💫

That time QuestLord lowered to $0.99 and made Amazon Apps (Kindle Fire) top RPGS banner. You won't see a sale like that for ages! 🤭Up there with all the esteemed colleagues. 😄

3 years ago (9 years *after* release) a QuestLord update put it in the top 10 again! Unfortunately didn't take screenshot until it slipped to 18 on the RPG charts!!

Technically 12.5 years on the Google Play Store!

But still updated & targeting the lowest possible API for the large "I don't want to update my phone every year" user crowd! Every #AndroidGames user counts, not just the ones with the fancy new phones!😁

👻🎃Eric Kinkead🎃👻 @erickinkead.bsky.social · Aug 14

Maintaining a GooglePlay app for 13 years is quite the behind the scenes feat. More than most people realize.

Expect new #QuestLord update in the next few days. With of course a new API that you won't even notice.

Improved localizations for French, Polish, Spanish & Brazil

While QuestLord charted to 1 in Finland, 6 in USA, 4 in France and Germany, those screen shots are on the hard drive of the defunct Mac Mini it was created on. To be resurrected later.

But here's an 11 !

Of course I had to stop by my old secret Apartment in QuestLord. What's the point of making games if you can't Easter Egg yourself into them? 🤷‍♂️😅
