I don’t want to be rude or anything like that.

But I would not pay more than 1$ or even that for that type of game.

Head Over High Heels Would Was Great Enough for Grey’s Anatomy Aired on April 18, 2019

This installment was amazing enough for sure fans, Meredith debates how to handle an unexpected situation in her personal life, while Richard has an untimely reunion with an old friend. Jo has a hard time at work, and Owen tries therapy.

After previously from Good Shepherd: Amelia and Link travel to New York to operate on a patient with a severe spinal deformity, but they’re in for more than they bargained for when Amelia’s sister, Nancy, invites them to dinner at her home.

Available-Below:

Amelia begs Link to pretend to be Owen, as she never told her family that they got divorced. With Amelia’s other sister, Kathleen, also present, dinner becomes a night of recalling Amelia’s mistakes as the “black sheep.” Things only worsen when their mother, Carolyn, joins them for dessert and is quick to point out Link and Amelia’s lie, as Carolyn has already met Owen.

When the conversation gets heated over Amelia’s brain tumor and sobriety, Link defends Amelia before they leave for the hospital. Following her patient’s successful surgery, Amelia has a long overdue heart-to-heart with Carolyn, who apologizes for not being there for her all these years. After making up with Link, Amelia returns back home and tells Meredith and Maggie about the trip.

The fiftenth season of Grey’s Anatomy main plot line, The season follows the story of surgical residents, fellows, and attendings as they experience the difficulties of the competitive careers they have chosen. It is set in the surgical wing of the fictional Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, located in Seattle, Washington.

What i do wrong?

Hi! Recently i made my second game for Android and publish it in Google Play. Sometime later i saw that it also doesn’t popular as my first game. Why? What i do wrong?

Preface about my last 2 years of development
In winter holydays in 2016 year i learned next books:
Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship – Robert Martin;
Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software – GOF;
Learning LibGDX Game Development – Suryakumar Balakrishnan Nair, Andreas Oehlke.

First step
After it I were start to develop my first real game (not prototype, full with main menu screen, pause and also leaderboard) one and half year ago. I published it in Google Play at 3 march 2017. Game like Pac Man about dormitory life. You need to run away from three girls, eat fruits and other dishes and collect coins.

About development
I were start from class diagram and go towards code over about one month. A lot of time took design. Top-view peoples is were 3d-models. Yes, it took many many time to learn 3D Max, Maya and put it to trash. In the end i chose Poser with standart Assets. After it i were need to animate characters that took also not less time. I animated characters in the same Poser. Next was other parts of design. It was beauty and simple. Sounds was getted from free sounds web resources.

Result
This game has 179 installs after publish, for more half year. Yes, it’s fiasco.
Link in Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.pascalman.dormitoryman

Second step
After my first big game i were join to Ludum Dare #38 with game ‘The Whole truth about Nature selection’. May be you saw it. And it was cool. I received comments and likes. It wasn’t popular, but it in any case was very cool expierence. I joined the Jam, although i wanted to join the Compo.

About development
I used my paper notepad for prototyping, Photoshop for fast design and Processing JS for code. Sounds was record in my kitchen on my Macbook.

Result
2 like on Openprocessing.org, about 700+/2500 place on ldjam.com in total rating.
Link in Openprocessing.org: https://www.openprocessing.org/sketch/422870

Third step
My last game was Simple and Classic Match 3 game. Game about Russian cities sights.

About development
I used Illustrator for design, LibGDX and Java for code, sounds from free sounds web recources.

Result
And after publish, 20 October 2017 it has 3 installs.
Link in Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.pascalman.traveljewel

Is there any advises?
I published news on my social media pages and it not working. I used best-practice for Google Play description decoration, made promo video and took good screenshots. It was my big mistake to make not candy Match 3? It’s normal? Maybe my games really not good? What do you think about it?
I will thank you for your any comments and advises.

I don’t really have any advice other than you would proably need to grow a fanbase.

But I do know it’s hard to compete with miljons off apps/games that already excist.
10. Nov 2017 · 16:38 UTC
I’m going to be kinda harsh and say that both those games don’t look very good. Your games don’t answer the question: Why should I play this game (as opposed to other games I could play)?
15. Nov 2017 · 14:18 UTC
It’s possible to do nothing “wrong” per se and still fail. You seem to look at this from a personal development perspective, which is odd: “I read all these books on agile and yet my game is failing” is a complete non sequitur.

Hi guys,

I just release a my game Doggy Bubble Shooter Rescue , on AppStore and PlayStore,

#LD40Compo - I'm in

This will be my second participation for this event. I am bringing along things that I have learned from the last event.

I am considering switching from GMS2 to Unity. This is in order to experiment different tools.

I will probably keep making pixel arts, considering how well it went last time :-)

Oh and my theme suggestions are: - Network - Automation - Collectibles

I wish you all a good flow of productivity!
