In honor of #NationalPumpkinDay, I made a “Giant Pumpkin” card for my game, Counter Tactics (free on the #iOS #AppStore )! 🎃 #IndieDev #PumpkinSeason #Halloween #MobileGame #gamedev

From July 18th thru October 17th, every Saturday I posted a 1-minute #DevLog on my #iOS game, Counter Tactics (available now in the #AppStore!). Now the question is...was it worth it? 🤔 #IndieDev #GameDev #MobileGaming #TurnBased #Strategy

In the battle of AI #GameDev, there are 3 sides: - Those resisting it who are falling behind - Those using it to prop up half-baked ideas that look good - Those using it to build well-architected, viable games Haven't seen much of the last group yet, but I'm sure they're already in play. #IndieDev

Fun fact: The very first time entry I put in my tracker for Counter Tactics was on October 9th, 2014. Yes, 12 years ago. The comment? "Laid out the overall timeline for finishing out this game. " Oh how the time flies. 😂 #IndieDev #GameDev #SundayReflection

Happy #TurnBasedThursday! Do you like PvP turn based games in a low-stress environment where you can take your turn when you want (like chess)? 😬 I do, so I assume others do as well. I just have to find you and try to convince you to play my game. #IndieDev #MobileGaming

I started my 1-minute #devlog for Counter Tactics eight weeks ago and posted an update here every Saturday since. Up until recently, I saw increased engagement week-over-week (obviously from the graph, I overall have very small reach). 📈 #indiedev #appstore #mobilegaming

I work at a Fortune 500 company as a Product Owner during the daytime. At night, I crawl into my little at-home office space and solve bugs on my game. Wait...am I Temu Batman?? #gamedev #indiedev

My claim to fame: I'm listed as a Designer in the 2008 game Dawn of War: Soulstorm. I wrote the Lua scripts, setup the scenes and positioned the cameras in the cutscenes and several of the endings. When my contract ended, I made a short montage of my work: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyoP... #GameDev

youtube.comSoulstorm: Cinematic MontageDuring my time at Iron Lore, I made this video intended for only my co-workers near the end of the project. It is a montage of mostly my work, plus the CGI intro and some other scenes. Hope you…

I bought a Disturbed album while I worked at Iron Lore and often listened to it while working. Naturally, I used it in the montage. But obviously I don't own the copyright to their music.

Making a #devlog is time consuming and seemingly not worth it. BUT, it is good practice and, if I can streamline the processes, maybe someone will find it interesting? I'm starting a short series talking about Counter Tactics in 30-ish second clips on Saturdays. 📽️ We'll see! 👀 #IndieDev #GameDev

Wrapping up a two week break from the day job. Had a chance to reflect on my #IndieGame, Counter Tactics, and finally allowed myself some time to PLAY. Picked up this gem from the #SteamSummerSale that's been sitting on my wishlist for nearly a decade. Back to the grind. #IndieDev #GameDev

It's time for the analytics review of Counter Tactics for month 3 on the #AppStore! It was a healthy month, likely due to the release of version 1.1.0 with its significant increase in content. #IndieDev #GameDev #MobileGaming

Today, Counter Tactics celebrates 3 months of being on the #AppStore! 🥳 So far, I've made $0.00. But, people who play a ranked battle tend to stick around. That's a measurement of something intangible: it's fun. That motivates me to keep iterating on it further. #GameDev #IndieDev #MobileGaming

6.6.2022: Got serious about launching Counter Tactics. 🫡 4.8.2026: Launched to the #AppStore. 🚀 7.7.2026: End of first 7 day break since 6.6.2022. 🏖️ #GameDev is HARD. Here's to all the #IndieDev's out there grinding away at their dreams. You can do it! #MobileGaming #Strategy #iOS

Mom passed away one year ago today after a 10 year battle with early onset Alzheimer's. Mom was the ultimate champion of my hopes and dreams. The ultimate confidant for my internal battles. While I miss her deeply, I'm grateful she no longer has to battle her body. Love you, mom!

Today's #devlog is about what a late game turn looks like in Counter Tactics (free on the AppStore). I explain a few basics and narrate my thought process of the moves I make for my turn in a real match with another player. #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieDev #GameDev #MobileGaming #Strategy #TurnBased

100 downloads...on my birthday! 🎉 🥳 Wasn't the plan, but that's how it happened. Counter Tactics celebrates a BIG milestone today. Next up, 500. 👀 #IndieDev #GameDev #MobileGaming #AppStore #iOS #Strategy #PVP #TurnBased #Gaming

A while back (years?), my sister got me this as a gift. But at the time, I said "No distractions. I have to get Counter Tactics to the AppStore!" Well, Counter Tactics is live in the AppStore and I've got a much needed vacation coming up... ;) #IndieDev #GameDev #MobileGaming #BreakTime #Gaming

Counter Tactics turns 2 months old on the App Store today! 🎉 As expected, a drop off of activity. That's ok, there is a core group of people playing regularly and I don't have a lot of reach. Going to work on ASO in July, but for now, the focus is on a content update! #IndieDev #GameDev #AppStore

Quick #devlog, preview of the new action, Wild Berries, in Counter Tactics. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #mobilegaming #gaming #ccg #strategy #turnbased

Excited to rollout the stability update of Counter Tactics because now I can start on the summer update focusing on #content! Content builds are always fun! 📖 Been thinking of this content for a while too. That's all for now, got to put pen to paper. 🖊️ 📜 #IndieDev #GameDev #CCG #Strategy #AppStore
