Pinned
Over 10 years ago I had this idea for a quirky arcade fighting game and today it is still my best earning game that keeps me afloat financially & let's me #gamedev unsuccessfully (sadly) full time 🐷

Tried to run a weekly sale for my Steam games and results are VERY disappointing. Sales don't hit like they used to...

Added local COOP on mobile, because... why not!

Mild and very unreliable CTR improvements in some of the locations, but no sales after the capsule change. Bringing out the bigger guns and trying this store art next. #gamedev #indiedev

Running A/B tests for a dead game is painful (these are numbers AFTER A SINGLE WEEK), but at least new icon is winning so far. Still stressed that it can swing the other way.

Today in Things I Should've Done Sooner - adding Google Play leaderboard UI to the game over screen in Iron Snout. #gamedev #indiedev

What I learned from checking that cursed Steam Store traffic stat page is that my game is not getting any impressions from "More Like This" widgets. Sad. But without any sales, why would it...
Changed Card Hog Steam header out of Indie Desperation™, maybe that card visual will attract some new players. #indiedev #gamedev

It was a false hope blip, as it usually is for me 😅
Steam stats page is massive pain in the cheeks, but I see a small bump in CTR yesterday. Could be a false hope blip. We'll see in a week.

Is there a better tool to browse Steam store traffic stats?

Card Hog is having a very low playtime on mobile web. What could be wrong? Performance? UX? Could you check on your phone?

Help me reach my modest #indiedev goal of getting more than 2 euros/month from my new game on Google Play:

Using the magic of cross promotion Bacon Survivor recently hit 1000 downloads on Google Play... earning a total of $2 😱

New update is out, where I finally started adding more complex mechanics and gave buffs to clothing items.

Try it out:

I'm not mad anymore. This is a nice eCPM and now I only need to 10x or 100x the downloads. Only! #gamedev #indiedev

Does anyone else have a sudden issues with Admob match rate? #gamedev #indiedev
I wish I'd know. It's getting worse and Admob match rate was ~100% only few days ago (earning me a whooping 5-8 cents, but it was SOMETHING).
