I have been working on Network Traders<\/a> for one year and 9 months<\/a> – long enough, time to go live! The game will be released for open testing on Google Play Store on September 23rd 2022<\/strong>. Then, finally, it will be available to everyone on their Android device. This is really exciting, and two and a half very busy weeks are waiting for me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Have you ever heard the term feature creep<\/a>? It describes what many game devs tend to do: add feature after feature to their game because this one is really important! But even if you think that you cannot go without this next feature, you will have to take your chances at some point – or wait indefinitely for the „right“ moment. So last weekend I just said: „What the heck, I want to know now! Is anyone actually going to play my game??“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Release Preparation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of course, publishing a game needs some preparation. Loose ends have to be tied, Play Store requirements have to be met, and some kind of marketing has to be done. So I moved the release date three weeks into the future in hopes of achieving all this. And Friday evening seemed like a good time to really enjoy this event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is what is left to be done:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
