Joy of Being Indie - I love marketing.

That last statement may have been more than a little sarcastic.

I realize I have to promote what I make to the masses, that much is obvious. I have read a great many articles where it seems as if the developer expected a "Field Of Dreams" sort of mechanic to discovery. If they build it people will come.

Unfortunately the reality is google play has over 1 million apps with more being added all the time, so an equally real fact is some of your time will be spent marketing what you do.

I will be the first to admit I hate this prospect, I always feel like its a bit of a begging sort of nag to do so. I know people who have downloaded and used my apps often grow to like them and your support is greatly appreciated.

If you enjoy what I do please tell some friends, share it on your social media and help me get the name out there. I am a one man show, and honestly I much prefer making stuff to selling/promoting it. With that in mind anything you the people who use my apps can do to grow my brand, it comes with the upmost respect and appreciation. More Users = more drive to do what I do and create interesting things for you lot to use.

Thanks for listening

Fun With Arctangent.


So I am working away on a new live wallpaper today, this one is going to be a sprite plotter I can top it out at 4000 plots with no slowdown. I am basing it off a simple math function many of you may recall from school. Its an arctangent operation. each time a sprite spawns at a random x/y it is run through an arctangent operation comparing it to the screen center, determining an angle. so its a bit of a take on an oldschool starfield, but instead of stars it is stuff. It will be fun to draw all sorts of funky little icons for it. Feel free to comment and suggest a name as the best 2 that have popped into my head are "Icon Blaster" or "Emoji Blaster" and neither of those are very good.

Not bad. Thank you people

After a little bit of time on the store with my apps it has become apparent that a bigger challenge than making a great app will always be making that app visible. from looking at the stats this morning, I have now crossed 1000 installs of NRG Beams Live Wallpaper I am very happy with this result.

As a new developer I wasn't sure when I started out if people would care at all about what I was doing. If you haven't yet give it a try


I will be adding more features to this and the other apps soon!

Thank You for your support so far

This post goes out to those that have tried my apps so far, and those who continue to use them. Thank you. As a new developer its sometimes difficult to be seen amongs the immense pile of applications in the app store.

The response so far has been pretty nice. I am becoming more inspired and encouraged by the day. Thanks for the support.

There is more to come I have 3 more effects near completion and plenty of ideas so stay tuned the best is yet to come!

Go Ahead and give them a try!
