Interesting fact. If you set up a "First few days : FREE!" thing on iTunes Connect BEFORE you launch the game, then when you DO launch the game, it apparently decides to ignore the "First few days : FREE!" thing that you'd previously set up.

Started on this week's AGameAWeek, yesterday.

Each July I have to pay my ?79.00 to keep dev'ing for iOS. My previous game was SpikeDislike3, which I launched in June 2015. The latest iOS release was (URL "https://itunes.apple.com/app/quadoban/id1258518067">Quadoban... today.) That means I've actually gone 2 whole entire PAID years (2015-2016 and 2016-2017) without releasing a single thing on iOS. That's rather alarming... :

You can grab the game (URL "https://itunes.apple.com/app/quadoban/id1258518067">on the AppStore, here.)

Currently a bit of a blank canvas.

Each week, players send their notes on that week's release. Let's take a peek at their comments, and share some random thoughts, too!

RSKGames

Initial Thoughts: Looking at the screenshots during the development I felt the game is going to be a fun flying game like "Flapaddidle" but the use of a bird and the background are the only similarities between the 2 games. The gameplay is totally different game. In this game the bird can only fly or dive once per key press no flapping around.

You know when you release a game, then sit in bed playing it, and suddenly realise you forgot to switch off a little toggle? Doesn't matter, nobody'll notice it.. Feel free to guess what it was, though!

If you eat a Pigeon's Treat, It could be bad, or it could be sweet.

This week's ingame tune turned out nicely ( ^ That one ^ ).

After attempting to draw a canary, then realising it looked very much like Woodstock (Peanuts/Snoopy's friend) I switched tactics and started drawing a pigeon, instead.

Yesterday was a day full of peeks and pokes.

This week's game has been incredibly easy to get going.

Rollyblob has been released, and not everyone's happy. I thought I should make today's blog a bit of a "How it came to be what it is" tale.

Each week, after I post a game, I get a nice set of comments from people. Let's take a look at this week's!

RSKGames

RollyBlob is a great puzzle game. The puzzle game mechanics are done wonderfully. The 60 second timer keeps you on your toes to find the solution fast.

Blob's out for a simple roll, but there are many dangers around.

Oh dear.. Where does the time go!?

Currently trying to find the "gameyness" of this week's game.

Developments

It's been a bit of a struggle to find the right gameplay mechanic for this week's game, but inspiration finally hit, late last night, and I think I'm now finally on the right path.

Back then it was simply a test. Today it's a proper track, and is the first in a complete ALChoon AL Bum of "Pulp'ish" The tracks start here!

Yesterday, I got the level generator mostly working for this week's game.

Developments

After a couple of rest days, I was back in the swing of things yesterday.

Developments

Hopefully I'm fully rested, now, and am ready to get back into coding.

Developments

This week's game will be delayed until next week.

This week's game (assuming it even is this week!) still hasn't been decided on.

Developments

SoCoder2 is now up and running, and for the most part it seems to be going fairly well.

Developments

I keep trying to tweak things, like the Private Message system, or Newsletter or other things, and it's getting harder and harder to juggle both versions of the site at the same time.
