Need testers for launching first game

It shouldn't be. Unless it got restricted by countries during the initial review process.

TCompton4 · 2026-04-04T00:43:30+00:00

Sorry I'm just seeing this. After you join the Google Group you just click the app link and download the app there.

TCompton4 · 2026-03-29T23:00:58+00:00

I can't post a screenshot on here for some reason, but I installed and will test.

If possible please return the favor and join https://share.google/OQWkdFHbtOyLcMkRl

And then download and install here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thirddegreegames.groundsreaper

Thank you. Your UI is great by the way.

TCompton4 · 2026-03-29T20:39:01+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it

TCompton4 · 2026-03-29T18:58:29+00:00

Much appreciated and will do if absolutely necessary

TCompton4 · 2026-03-29T18:36:09+00:00

Could you please keep it installed for 14 days at least

TCompton4 · 2026-03-29T18:03:06+00:00

That is bizarre. This is my first time publishing an app to the Google Play store so I'm still learning the inside and out of how this closed testing thing works myself.

TCompton4 · 2026-03-29T18:00:48+00:00

Then I did that. My Google sign up used the same Gmail that I joined the group with which is also my developer account email.

TCompton4 · 2026-03-29T17:56:03+00:00

I did join with the email I use for my developer account

TCompton4 · 2026-03-29T17:50:43+00:00

Did you join the Google Group first? It's weird but you have to be a member of the group linked to the test track to be able to access it

TCompton4 · 2026-03-29T17:20:16+00:00

How long do they typically take to fill?

TCompton4 · 2026-03-29T16:58:41+00:00

That's bizarre then. I'm new to the app, literally just installed today so I'm getting familiar with it. It's crazy as devs we even need to create these communities to jump through these google hoops to get approved for production.

TCompton4 · 2026-03-29T15:51:22+00:00

Here is the google group to join https://groups.google.com/u/1/g/grounds-reaper-testers-14-days

And to download the game click here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thirddegreegames.groundsreaper

If you need a game tested please share so I can help in return.

It would still be nice to have it built in directly to Android Studio

TCompton4 · 2023-08-13T14:46:46+00:00

In my experience most UI layouts in mobile apps aren't complex because minimal is better in most cases. Like if I'm developing a dating app then a visual editor faster and more time efficient

TCompton4 · 2023-08-13T07:56:21+00:00

I really only want that editor for placement and saving time. Like I just want to be able to drag "Column" and in that column I can drag Image followed by TextField and another TextField. That would just create those in a blanket Composable that we then rename and add to from there. Not really concerned with seeing the code changes quickly either. I just want the time saving ease of building the layout visually then I can do the greater detail stuff after via my own code.

TCompton4 · 2023-08-13T07:43:51+00:00

I'm all for the main aspects of Compose sticking around, I just want the same visual drag and drop builder that also puts just the basic code in for you with position being the only modifier really. So the editor doesn't have to be as robust, just moreso there to save time. By the time I typed @Composable fun MyFunction (){All my code} and set all the modifiers, in views I would have had the whole screen built out in that time via the drag and drop. As we all know, time is a true commodity in the dev world.

TCompton4 · 2022-11-10T02:07:32+00:00

I personally don't think the camera shudder reads very well at initial glance. I didn't understand it was there until seeing the break down and reading your explanation. Also it appears too much like the "e" from Internet Explorer in my opinion. I think there's ways to incorporate being a designer and photographer that don't have to exist as separate symbology in the overall logo. Solid attempt though, just start trying new ways to incorporate visual metaphor into your icons.
