Where I Disappeared to in 2018

[image error]*Taps the mic* Helloooo! Is this thing on? Right. It’s been a while since I’ve dusted off ye old blog. It’s been a crazy year for me in a lot of ways. Since I haven’t been spending nearly as much time being active on the Internets of late, I figured I’d drop a quick update on where I’ve been and what’s coming up.

Here’s what’s up:

Big Changes Afoot

A lot happened over the last year. The TLDR version is things weren’t going so hot for me in the tail end of 2017. Finances were tight, stress wa...

Half-way to Breaking Even: Missile Cards iOS Sales to Date

[image error]

Morning all. Stopping by for a brief info-drop update for those of you who still want a peek behind the curtain of my latest game’s launch sales on iOS.

Deets after the jump:

Missile Cards launched on iOS, officially, on Wednesday, June 28th. In just under two weeks, I’m now a little past the half-way point on my Quest To Break Even on the game’s six month development cycle. You can read more about the ups and downs of that journey by sifting through recent/past blog posts on the site here....

First Week iOS Launch Sales and Observations (Missile Cards)

[image error]

It’s been a zany few days. Now that we’re a full week into Missile Cards’ iOS launch, I wanted to share some interesting figures, observations, and updates about how things have been going so far this first week.

To briefly set the stage:

Missile Cards is a smaller game I created over the course of six months. It’s a quirky mash-up of turn-based defense (inspired in-part by Missile Command) and a strategic solo card game (a la Solitaire…sort of).

It’s an experimental and fairly niche projec...

Return of The Quest To Break Even (and the Importance of Setting Goals)

For me, setting goals has always been vital to measuring success and having something to constantly work towards. Having massive long-term bigger picture goals on the horizon is always useful, but it’s also critical to set smaller short-term goals that are closer within reach.

Nothing I’ve ever done or created has been a 100% runaway success out of the starting gates. But by amassing small wins and building momentum over time, I’ve always been able to eventually get to where I wanted to be, b...
