Purple or Brown Buttons?

A buddy from the game salad community called „Socks“ suggested to try to make the Buttons more fitting to the wizard. So make them purple as he is.

Now the big question which looks better.
Which would you more likely want to try out and download spent thousands of dollars on.

Pixel Mage Dev. Diary Update

Lost in Details. The last days I went over each level thousand times changed milliseconds here and there added small effects. It was hard tough to create new content it feels much better to polish existing content. Improving what is there instead making the stretch for something new which you might delete after you put several hours in. But hey back on track a new enemy type has entered Pixel Mage’s world. The Goblin wizard is the first enemy that threatens the wizard in the upper lane beside the Archers standing on barrels here and there.

PS: This is now level 6! Half way through. As the game will have 12 levels as creepy had.

3 years working from home

Crazy how this time went by.
3 years ago I started to work form home with my macbook to create one app after another.
I got some big highs and deep lows emotionally as well as statistically.
Worked with some great people and explored a lot of myself with my work.
Around 46 app I have launched in this time, 12 of them are still live.
Selecting and investing more time in the „winner apps“.

I often though about how much easier it would be to go to a regular job, rather than lifting the self created burden of deciding where to go and constantly dealing with the voices in my head.

Let’s see how much longer the universe wants to give to me, to keep on going.
I love creating games and my ego is more and more transcending with every failed app, every heartbreak as I put my heart into every app. Every bitter month that makes my revenue sink to the bottom. Barely making it enough to pay all my monthly bills.

Than there are the other months were it shoots to peaks letting me levitate on clouds.
When the world becomes so light..
The big breakthrough has yet to come.

Lets see, lets see..

Going to delete one of my Apps

I am going to delete one of my Apps.
Brofist Xmas! will be gone by the end of this month.
As it is basically Brofist! the items of the Xmas! Version will be moved to the normal version.

01_Xmas

This will help me to have my app portfolio in good shape instead of having to much similar apps.

So if you still want to have the Xmas! Version you can download it free, as always, until the end of the month than its gone.
I hope you understand.

Cheers,
David Zobrist

my perfectionistic behaviour turns out to be the main killer of my motivation

interesting..
the more work I put into it the harder it becomes to keep on working on it or progress ahead.

Since you know everything you add now will have to live up to the base which you already polished over and over again.

my perfectionistic behaviour turns out to be the main killer of my motivation

On the other hand if I do quick games I have no problems finish them up and not worry too much, which most of the time doesn’t result in a good outcome but sometime it does and atleast it gets out.

Creepy and Orc where somewhere in the middle. I really have to force myself to accept and close the first levels and move on or make the next levels rough form before starting to polish anything again.
