Google Play SEO FTW After a shaky start, the app formerly known as Chocolate Crunch Bonanza, is doing much better. The Google Play SEO learning curve is steep, but it’s starting to pay off. Chocolate Crunch Bonanza has gone through several icons, several names, and dozens of description iterations. From a couple of downloads per day, it’s
In a stand of defiance against the overlords at Unity HQ, I’ve packaged up the Amazon Mobile Ads plugin for Unity, and released it on this very blog! If you haven’t heard the story yet, to paraphrase: I submitted it on the Unity Asset store, but they refused it due to internal business reasons. Nothing
Update: I’ve decided to release Easy Amazon Ads plugin here, on this very site. You can download it here. Yes, you heard it here first, Easy Amazon Ads, the plugin I put painstaking days of work into, has officially been rejected by Unity’s Asset Store because “IT’S JUST TOO DAMNED AWESOME!”. Well, to be honest,
It was about time for a new theme for this site particularly since I found the old theme particularly limiting when trying to setup the documentation page for Easy Amazon Ads plugin. It’s currently looking a bit bland, but it all seems to be back up and running. As an extra bonus, after running with
Up until today, it’s been incredibly difficult for devs to figure out how users are finding our apps in Google Play. With Google’s new Google Play and Google Analytics connection, it’s finally possible to at least get an idea of what’s going on. It’s just in time too, because Chocolate Crunch Bonanza has been out
Update: Since writing this I went through the process of submitting my implementation to the Unity Asset Store. Unfortunately, it was rejected due to internal business reasons at Unity HQ. Because of this, I released it on this website. Download it here. Some weeks ago I wrote about an Amazon plugin I was working on because I
I just wasn’t happy with the icon I originally shipped the app with because the colours it used were just too similar to everything else that’s chocolate related on the market: brown and pink. After browsing through various image queries, I came across an eye-catching image: a glossy heart dripping with chocolate. On a blue
Yeah, you read that right: Chocolate Crunch Bonanza. One of the things I’ve learned about app development, particularly on Android, is that it’s incredibly difficult for users to spot your app buried amongst all of the junk in the market place. This is particularly apparent with Transmutation, which really doesn’t get many downloads, despite a
I’ve nearly completed my latest project, so it was about time to try my first every iOS build. While Unity compiled the app, XCode failed to compile the ChartBoost module, complaining that “appcontroller.h” was missing. Research revealed that Unity changed the name of one of the includes from “AppController.h” to “UnityAppController.h”, and ChartBoost has yet
I’ve finally compiled a fully functional version of Transmutation that runs on the Fire HD. Although I don’t particularly like the UI on the Fire (it’s a bit restrictive), I’m glad I bought it. It would have been almost impossible to guess why AdMob was locking up through submission rejections or user complaints. Despite everything
