🚨 Found an app I never downloaded. Just two buttons:
➕ Grow
➖ Shrink
No menu. No dev info. No instructions.
So I pressed it.

And now… the world feels smaller.

New project in the works:
A.M.P. — Amplification Management Platform

Hey solo devs, quick question.

Tapping Ghost is an Android app, but with all the changes on the Google Play Store, I’m starting to wonder if it’s even worth releasing it there.

Anyone else feeling this? What are your thoughts?

It's not much but I made a title logo for my game. What do y'all think?

Playing with XR. Just doing some impact testing by hitting ghosts in the park.

Experimenting with XR. The little guys were cute… until they had me surrounded.

Wrapped up my last tasks for the week—closed testing is live for my Android app, and the site got a fresh update and cleanup. Feels good to end on a productive note.

Recently I've been working on tiny projects to increase my motivation. Today I decided to punch trees.

This was the first game I published on itch. It was an early prototype. One of the most important things I learned was how hard it can be to get feedback.

Sometimes you just have to make something to put a smile on your face.

I built Postal Panda, a site to generate and send out uplifting messages, like tiny letters of encouragement, to brighten your day.

Check it out at: postalpanda.com

Gladwick's Shrine 1.0 will be available tomorrow. I'm so happy to get to this point. Depending on the feedback I may try to upload to Google Play. But for now I'm happy to just put it on itch.

Almost done with my frog trivia Android app! 🐸 It'll be on modest-cog.itch.io since it’s ad-free and has no IAPs. Just squashing one last bug, I hope it's the last one.

The demo is there.

?! Are people comfortable downloading APKs from there? Let me know!

Adding mobile controls to Defend the Signal really surprised me—playing on a phone feels so different from desktop! Have you tried both?
