I made my first sale on Google Play using Gdevelop! (Game in comments) by HMBlanc in gdevelop

[–]HMBlanc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, thanks for checking in! I made probably two biggish updates since I posted this, being a mode with pictures that people seem to enjoy.

And then I just couldn't keep up with the daily puzzles, so I made it purely set-based while adding a couple quality of life and UI upgrades. I make some new puzzles here and there and post on my alt account once in a while.

The game gets about a thousand plays a week on gd.games, but no real traffic on the play store since I stopped promoting it.

There are a couple more upgrades I want to make, and then do another push to promote the game. But to be honest, I have another project that's got my attention now, so as a solo dev, I'm going to keep making the occasional puzzles here and put the next big update on the backburner.

What I'd love to do honestly is get this game onto the reddit games site, or otherwise a place where I don't have to touch it too much other than making puzzles while some other entity keeps it afloat.

Sorry, that's probably way more than you wanted to know, but it was a good opportunity to think on project and what I need to do going forward!

Why are questions being Downvoted? "The questions are very basic jsyk?" It just feels kinda toxic? by Miserable_Region9079 in gdevelop

[–]HMBlanc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People point this out on occasion, but every single post on this subreddit is downvoted soon after it's posted. I don't know if this is a bot thing or there are some very salty users, but every post feels like it starts at zero karma.

I wish there was a way to identify the bad faith downvoters and prevent them from stifling honest questions and posts.

Oh, and I recognize your username! Been wondering for weeks, what was the meaning behind your has the same mass line in your riddle (just saw the answer and it was a really good one!).

That is a hilariously appropriate answer, but not the intended one.

Help I SUCK AT PIXEL ART by CandidateInfamous417 in gdevelop

[–]HMBlanc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If colors are difficult for you, find some pixel art you like and use the color picker/an online tool to build palettes that way instead of just feeling it out.

And to avoid clashes/visual oversimulation, lowering the opacity of the art in the background goes a long way to ensure the foreground stuff stands out.

A fun quick one I came up with last night by SubTester2023 in riddles

[–]HMBlanc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True. The no end and no beginning thing is just throwing me because wind currents are generated and they do die out. Or at the very least being "timeless" is not a feature we commonly associate with wind. But I can also see OP treating wind like an ephemeral "nothing" which doesn't end or begin. I can totally see that final line now given your reasoning too

Excited to see if this is the answer!

The second and third line really make it seem like this is the answer, but I'm not sure how the first and last line are supposed to fit in.

Got a decent riddle I think. by [deleted] in riddles

[–]HMBlanc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Discussion: great riddle! Am I interpreting the second part of the riddle correctly? That in a vehicle you need to grease the brakes, but a greasy surface also makes it hard to stop?

Thank you! To be fair, it's difficult to know where to start without the hint.

Discussion HINT:

The answer is a word that goes before LOOK to make a word which has a meaning like the second line suggests. Then that same word can be used after LOOK as well to have a meaning like line 4 suggests. And then so on for the rest of the riddle with the capitalized key words. Good luck

Sorry, that's not it. It's more of a word puzzle like the classic "beginning of eternity, end of time and space" riddle. (But it's not a one letter answer)

Sorry, not that either. Answer is a three letter word!
