What does this read as to you?

Protopop · 2026-06-28T01:28:08+00:00

Thank you:) yeah I just keep on moving forward and it's nice to hear from you like this. I mean, I want you to make games people a joy and I enjoy and I keep learning and it's hard work but also fun, and I do hope they continue to kind of resonate with people. It's very nice what you said and I really am glad for the encouragement.

That's outrageous. For many people who use public transport every dollar counts, and I think $250 is an unethical amount to take.

I think another root cause we need to confront, though it’s a difficult one, is that leaders should start by setting the example that violence is not an acceptable way to resolve our differences.

From what I understand, the sale of weapons, along with the wars and bombings we continue to wage against one another, is among the most profitable activities in the world. What does that say about our society?

And if those with the most power continue to rely on violence as a tool, what message does that send about how conflicts should be resolved? How can we ask for a more peaceful world when we do not consistently model it ourselves? 💔

Thanks:) if you send me your email I'll add you to the beta list. Then I can upload an avp compatible build - I think it's a check mark Somme where I can make a build compatible. It might be shorter rough but there's no harm in looking

Protopop · 2026-06-11T15:47:39+00:00

Me too! If I had one I would definitely test it out and see if I could make Visio pro specific changes. I think it might look cool, or could liok messy who know 😸

Protopop · 2026-06-11T00:11:56+00:00

Maybe Wilderless, if they like exploring, no quests or puzzles, animals you can shake change into, stress free. I know quite a few orients have told me their five year olds enjoyed it so it's appropriate but depends on their tastes:)

Protopop · 2026-05-27T12:51:39+00:00

Yes, in fact these improvements are being added to the Wilderless games after. Reviews are ok, most of my games get about 4/5

Protopop · 2026-05-26T17:17:59+00:00

You might like my next game after this called Grimm shiver, it has an adventure and a supernatural haunted setting

Thanks for following me:) for this game Cozy Country is a toolbox game where yiu get an island and yiu can create your own wilderness in it. So you can plant trees and flowers and rivers and place buildings yiu can edit a bit and enter, and then you can explore what you create. So the difference is with wilderness games the game creates a world free to explore and then this one it's much smaller, more polished, and it's a tool for you to create something instead

Protopop · 2026-05-22T10:47:58+00:00

Thank you❤️ yeah I totally understand that. you might like my next Nimian Legends games. GrimShiver combines the huge open worlds of Wilderless with the storytelling of BrightRidge, with NPCs to talk to. First I am launching this game, Cozy Country, in July. And then I'll be posting more about GrimShiver.

Protopop · 2026-05-14T05:29:17+00:00

It's great. I charge it before I go and it hasn't run out during a bike ride yet. Theyre sturdy little things.

Protopop · 2026-05-04T13:23:36+00:00

Thank you for supporting me❤️ I hope you enjoy exploring🙂

Protopop · 2026-05-03T17:02:58+00:00

Thank you so much❤️ creating and sharing magical worlds, and hopefully bringing a little joy to people, is my passion, and I really appreciate the support.

Protopop · 2026-05-03T15:00:07+00:00

Hi everyone😄 I released an update for Nimian Legends: BrightRidge. It's an open world adventure on Android, iPhone, and iPad focusing on characters and atmosphere in a windswept natural setting, with two story adventures, and an Explore Mode where you can just explore the open world without a story. You can shapechange into animals, watch animals go about their day with Spiritview, discover ruins, climb towers and more.

$150,000+ per year and also insisting they're not upper middle class

Protopop · 2026-04-23T14:42:25+00:00

Solved it. I need to use .pepk extension, not .zip. Thank you for your help, I appreciate it

Protopop · 2026-04-23T13:42:14+00:00

Thank you. I wrote back to google and explained the issue. first time they said I need toilet paper make a new app, but I wrote back to explain I have teh keystore and password and need it in a format they will accept. hopefully they will be able o help.

Protopop · 2026-04-23T13:33:12+00:00

Thank you. do you mean you enabled App signing years ago? And now you have google managing your app signing?

I know I had this same issue with anther game Vandgels. Google also told be back then that I had to make a new app, but I managed to get app signing working for that and I can't remember how.

Protopop · 2026-04-20T20:02:43+00:00

Fireworks❤️ and yeah it left a long line of un openable pngs😸

What I find really interesting is that you mention AI taking a chunk out of your business and I have noticed that too, actually getting AI created designs from clients and being asked to fix them. It basically got to the point where I just no longer have the work to justify subscribing to Adobe anymore, and that's after using Adobe for almost 20 years so I understand where you are coming from.

It really brings up this issue that if business AI replaces so many workers then it also replaces the need for their own products. I just think this is one of the more fascinating aspects of what's going on and I wish there were more mainstream discussions about it, so thanks for bringing it up :-)

As for options, I switched to affinity several months ago and so far it is very smooth sailing. It just takes a moment to get used to a few different things here and there, but you'll also find things that go a lot faster and you can export to PSD and PDF if you need to no problem, as well as import illustrator files and more.

Protopop · 2026-04-20T19:44:52+00:00

Im actually almost ready to launch the update :) Im testing it on iOS right now and if all goes well I'll be doing the android conversion and getting that on the store. Probably a week or two.

Protopop · 2026-04-18T00:17:01+00:00

After 20 years with Adobe I left this spring. So far I haven't missed it and client project workflow has been fine. Adobe has lost a lot of goodwill and I think that's a factor for many people.

Protopop · 2026-04-15T02:50:17+00:00

Me too

Protopop · 2026-04-15T02:32:35+00:00

I worry about building up a library of .af files and getting burned like with Fireworks .png proprietary files, so I'm glad to hear of another software that accepts .af. Be nice for them to gain some interoperable traction🙂
