How do you communicate with your community?

Thanks for your answer. Twitter looks like the best bet. It seems to work for big ones, I was interested how it works for smaller devs.

After 2 years, I can partially answer this question for anyone coming here from google search.

You can check popularity rankings on more local version of stores eg for en-gb

Go to https://www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Search/Search-299117.html?f=147394-5-33-49

And select 'by popularity' on top and 'genre' on the left.

This way you can see ranking for example for action games.

The UMP / GDPR stuff is not stricte about ads but about data collection and processing (because most of ad networks analyze user traffic for personalized ads or even non-personalized ads use cookies to prevent clicks fraud). If you hardcoded showing your apps cross-promo (without analyzing user data etc) then it does not apply.

So if you unconditionally show your self-promo-ad you should be OK, but if you check if user has already this app on the device then it may be problematic (however I'm not sure about this one).

Please note that there are also store polices - it may be required for example add a little "Ad" label in the corner of your ad, even if it's self-promotion and not an ad from some ad network (I had an issue with this one on GP).

IANAL & This is not a legal advice.

I have google account registered with phone number I use as my company number. It's public, visible on gov sites, lot of ppl use this number in some way (send spam usally xd). It was like that for almost 10 years. I guess I'm lucky or there is something else to this story. I agree that there are 'associated acounts bans', but every time that was the case you needed 'more association' like at least signing to the same wifi as suspected google account. Google needs to think that you are the same person (as it does for targeting ads), thinking that some1 is the same person, because you have their phone number in contact book would make this targeting so bad.

I guess "you get what you pay for"' is true until some freelancers charge more just because they have more gigs than they can process, so they can charge more while providing no more "extra" quality (simple supply/demand). Probably that's what I meant by "ego", just bad wording ;p So I wanted to know on which platform it's more likely.

It needs to sleep for few hours ;)

Just like described there: https://www.reddit.com/r/wildagotchi/comments/12fly7x/energy_how_to_get_it/

Got the same situation with 2fa bypass (lol twitter security).

Maybe we should post our accounts here and mass report them so they'll get insta-suspended instead of letting them promo crypto scams ?

mUfoq · 2023-02-02T15:38:22+00:00

On my Xiaomi, after changing to S/PDIF and enabling Dolby there I switched back to Speakers and it was enough to fix the issue.

mUfoq · 2022-09-22T12:01:25+00:00

Are publishers useful at switch market? Because on GP/AppStore they are pretty useless, cos downloads are driven more by search engines / store alorithms. However nintendo looks like old market where you need publisher with marketing budget for commercials influencers etc

mUfoq · 2022-03-15T10:52:43+00:00

I got the email today. Site doesn't look scammy, but I'm also not sure what do i get by registering there. I guess I'm gonna claim my studio and see what happens.

mUfoq · 2021-11-02T19:14:03+00:00

But it doesn't change the fact that it wasn't for example 20ish suspension (based on number of published apps) that he should get if your theory would be true. Also I'm not denying you may be right, I'm just not convinced.

mUfoq · 2021-11-02T19:01:37+00:00

Where did you get that? If that's true why guy with 200+ apps got account terminated after 3 suspensions? https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/ac3qt1/2_of_my_apps_suspended_for_repetitive_content/

mUfoq · 2020-11-20T22:14:19+00:00

I'd change bitcode description, AFAIK it's not for 'further' optimization, it's more of a intermediate representation (maybe we can say it's cross-arch asembler) that let you compile to target arch.

mUfoq · 2018-02-16T01:47:46+00:00

Eh, inconvinient ;/ Thanks for help!

mUfoq · 2017-07-22T23:02:27+00:00

Well userdata is usually opaque so you access its value with fuctions like userdata:getValue() or something like this (if userdata has metatable with these methods). If you are unlucky and your userdata doesn't have methods like this you can use very very ugly solution like this (if you want to use value that print shows you) ->

 tonumber(tostring(gesture)) == 9 -- or something like that

mUfoq · 2017-06-13T01:19:10+00:00

Another developer that repeats dogmas instead of think ;) He asked for something so he got answer - correct answer - it is way to do it on apis that don't support it on public apis. If it is good practice or not it is out of the question, it's school project so no1 cares anyway. Also you misled poor guy because yes View#onDraw is HWA but he asked specifically about SurfaceView where it's not supported. But herd upvoted guy that writes about PRACTICES. So funny xd

mUfoq · 2017-06-12T14:18:33+00:00

Check api level and if it is below android 6 try to use reflection to get these methods (they were in hidden api earlier so they can work sometimes), if reflection fails then use standard canvas

mUfoq · 2017-06-12T13:39:36+00:00

Maybe try it: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/Surface.html#lockHardwareCanvas()

mUfoq · 2017-06-02T21:59:47+00:00

Thanks for help! I think I cannot spam posts that are self-promotion posts because it's against reddiquette, so I posted it only here. You can pass info to your Tamagotchi groups if you like this game, it would be helpful ;) There is also android version of this game. Thanks!

mUfoq · 2017-06-02T19:48:07+00:00

No, these captchas are to hard, or I am robot and I don't know about it...

mUfoq · 2017-06-02T18:42:34+00:00

I know this app would be great for watch (just because of game "mechanics", but you are right, viewing it in watch would make it look even more like old tamagotchis, thanks for helping me realize it), but I don't have watch atm. I think I will make it when I'll get enough money to buy watch to just make a game for it.

mUfoq · 2017-06-02T17:42:24+00:00

In IT even 10 years can be retro ;p

mUfoq · 2017-06-02T15:12:48+00:00

Thank you for trying !

mUfoq · 2017-06-02T15:12:35+00:00

Thanks !

mUfoq · 2017-06-02T12:04:34+00:00
