Developments

My Socoder site has been mostly inaccessible for about 18 or so hours, now.
I'm trying to sort it out, but there seems to be something wrong with the file system on the server. It's acting very strangely.
I've asked GoDaddy to do a server-restore, but if things are still.. .. weird.. I'll have to ask for a complete overhaul of my server. Very strange behaviour.

Due to all of that madness, I've had little/no time to code anything. I spent what little time I had, yesterday, rejigging the advert method of SpikeDislike3, so that it no longer slows down ingame framerate, during play.

Gah.. So much stuff to do, it's insane..
This is meant to be my nice relaxing year off..

Daily Doodle : Catch Him!

There's a criminal about.
I wonder what he's stealing..
Go get him, Platdude!

Mailbag

Today's mail comes from TimmyTot666

Googled spikedislike3 didn't get any pirate sites. Also; Why not try a postage box at your post office? Also, also, I believe this is in response to a european law and not just google's decision. ALSO ALSO ALSO just have your physical address be your local post office instead. ALSO ALSO ALSO ALSO I only read stuff about if you have paid games or in-app purchases then those games are the only ones that require you add an address to your physical account. I don't get why you mad breh D:

FFS, I've already typed this out twice, and the server keeps fucking up..

Right..
1) If you do a plain search, it won't come up at the top.
Instead, click the Search Options link, and then switch Any Time to Last 24 Hours (or Week)
It should show up plenty of evil, then, although as expected my addition of Adverts has somewhat quenched the need for the pirate version, so a LOT of the results are now going away.

2) This is most definitely a Google thing. I don't have my address shown by Apple, or OUYA or GameJolt, or even PlayJam a company based in the UK.

3) A PO Box costs a minimum of about ?5 a month. What you're asking me to do is pay a subscription fee so that my home address isn't publically listed all over the internet.
Would YOU pay a fee for that?!
It sounds "easy enough", but what you're asking is absolutely frickin' mental!

4) It's not just Premium games.. If it were just premium games, then ALL of my Free games would still be available on GooglePlay.
I didn't remove those... Google did.

If you'd like to stuff my mailbag, (please do!) you can do so right here, at https://bit.ly/AGAW_Mail. Send comments, questions, game ideas, thoughts and more, and they'll probably turn up here, eventually.
