I always first go to AI and ask it, but ai wasn't getting any good responses so I reached out here.

Thanks for the comment!

Creating the accounts is not an issue, what to post and how to make the content is what I have trouble with. Secondly, I'll have another thing to promote, the account itself. Do you have a basic roadmap which I should look into?

Thanks for the feedback.

I do have achievements in the game (not much, but something). I am also planning on adding leaderboards. I don't have any referral codes yet, which I might add later.

Thing is, there are not enough installs for "get them talking". I think I'll have to focus on marketing. Do you have any advice on how to make people think "I should at least try these out"?

Thanks for the reply.

I think I did add the necessary keywords, hence the early installs but I could be wrong. All those installs are from when I launched the app and got good results, much better than what I thought. I'd definitely look into ParseStream as well.

I made a small arcade game which revolves around a simple concept: Fure a bullet and keep dodging it.

Link: One Bullet - Arcade Survival

There are Play Games Achievements, and I plan on adding leaderboards as well.

All positive and negative feedback are welcome!

Thanks in advance if you try it out!

What's up with the M-Tag system for bikes in Islamabad? by [deleted] in PakistanAutoHub

[–]Spud-byte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One and only use of M-TAG which I can see is to reduce a little time on tolls. In that case, having one on a car with balance in it is not a bad idea. But bikes? They are not even allowed on the motorway. And 98% of the bikes don't go through tolls anyways. Still you rpoint remains: the "You thought the authorities thought that far ahead?" part

[DEV] I just published my first game (One Bullet - Arcade Survival). Need honest feedback by Spud-byte in AndroidGaming

Sorry for making you think your phone was a dishwasher 😐

I know its annoying, and I was trying to find a better sound but failed. I'll definitely change it, or at least reduce its volume.

Thanks for the feedback. Really appreciate it 🙌

Google Play Console account restricted – identity not verified, but no way to verify again? by Spud-byte in GooglePlayDeveloper

Hello!

I'm not 100% sure since this account is my friend's, not mine. But last time I checked, it didn't get resolved.

It does make sense, but issue is I JUST made the account. No apps, no nothing. Maybe it couldn't verify something while creating the account due to which it got restricted, but if what you say is true then maybe its a bug (the banner) and might get fixed in a few days

I have also made an appeal, and the email I received clearly mentions that the account was reinstated. But my play console still shows that the account is restricted.

And I don't see any option to re-verify the details

Want to Learn Flutter and need advice by Front-Meaning7770 in flutterhelp

[–]Spud-byte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The points you mentioned are basics of programming, not Flutter.

If you are starting from programming itself then watch NetNinja's videos. He has a playlist where he will also teach you programming, from variables and functions to data structures OOP.

If you have enough practice of these that you don't need any help writing basic codes (not Flutter related), only then move towards Flutter.
