Sad update

[raw] LD24October Challenge 2012 17. Oct 2012 · 00:30 UTC · 54 days after compo start by montyontherun · 2

I must say I’m quite sad to announce this: I’m out of the challenge.

It seems my Google Wallet can’t be configured properly with my current credit card, as it is not accepted worldwide. In Brazil, to make a new International card would take too long. Without a card, I can’t take payments from sold games.

This is specially sad since I got a MASSIVE speed improvement on my 3D game engine this weekend and successfully implemented the Game-Of-Life for my little “arcade game”. It even fires gosper gliders into the big bacteria blob!

I still plan to finish the said games, but I will keep it free, as said on my first post of the challenge.

Sorry for your time and space.

Oh, come on… you’ve got 15 days left! There’s got to be something you can do about your problem. You can almost always get a credit card faster at your local bank than via internet.

Also, you can sell your game for android DRM free on your own homepage (with PayPal, for example) or even use alternative markets until your new credit card arrives. These options might not be as commercially worthwhile as the Play Store, but still… you’ve got no excuse to give up just yet 😉
