🚨 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?

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.

Defend the Signal Demo by Modest Cog Creations Space Invaders-inspired shooter where you must protect the signal from relentless drone swarms.

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!

The wholesome relaxing game I'm working on is a frog trivia game. You get to answer the simple trivia questions about frogs to unlock cute cute images and a little spot that randomly generates frog themed jokes and some kind words.

Getting an enemy AI to do anything other than chasing and attacking can look awkward.

For me, it Is balancing item drop rates.

My current build, a healing item randomly spawns if the player is below 50% HP.

My friend got into a rhythm and ended up playing for over an hour without dying.

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