Release Candidate #1

So, I've opened up the wallet and shelled out for the developer login over at Android Marketplace. Now it's time to put my mouth where my money is, so to speak, and actually get some content up there.

Now it gets to that point, it's all very intimidating! But sure, what is there to worry about? Apart from, you know, having any mistakes I made exposed to the general public? Um...

I've also been wondering quite heavily on the testing of apps. This first one, see, isn't really going to need that much testing: it doesn't do a great deal, see? But I've only tested it on the Android emulator bundled with the SDK, and then on one handset (and a powerful one at that). I know several people who would almost certainly help with the testing (and might even use it from time to time!), but none of them can easily connect their phone to my PC with a USB cable for debug purposes. The only real solution here, it seems, is to release it as quietly as possible, and hope that people won't flame me horribly if it doesn't work first time round. Not ideal, but hey.

You know what? A blog post would probably serve as a useful standby page for the app website. I should fix that up now...

  1. I am an avid fan of 7th sea and just found this lovely app. Now if I could get it to download to my new tablet it would be awesome. Unfortunatly the market doesn't show the app.
    Any chance I could get the APK file and try it out. I see that you haven't updated since 2010, but it was worth a shot to message you.
