Since the start of August 2024, the number of downloads for the Android version of Sinderella is higher than the number of downloads for the PC version (and about 10 times the number of downloads for the Mac version). I was a bit surprised about that -- I had assumed that most people play on PC, but it looks like playing on phones and pads is considerably more popular.

Then again, I do not know, of course, whether people who download the game actually play it.

As I said before, as far as I am concerned, Sinderella is finished. I am seeing lots of small blemishes that may be updated, but everything is so small that probably nobody notices them. I am sure that I could improve on the visuals enormously, but that would be such a huge task that I am not going to undertake it. I much rather work on another game. So there will be no more updates to Sinderella, unless it would be to fix something major -- which I do not expect will be needed.

And now I introduced the topic of another game: yes, I have begun to work on one. I actually started to work on several ideas, but I disbanded them one by one until I got one that I really like. So that is the one I am spending time on now. Will it ever be released? It may be. I do not intend to release half-finished versions -- like I did with Sinderella, the game should be completely playable upon release. But that means that I will have at least one year of work ahead of me, and most likely two. I have a very demanding job, and not much spare time to work on games.

The one issue that bothers me a bit, is that I never got any feedback on Sinderella. I got a few "reviews" which were basically just awarding the game 3 to 5 stars (it now averages 4, which I am content with). But I am interested in knowing what people like about the game, what seems to work well, and where people see possible improvements (besides the visuals -- I see many places where I could improve those, and I now know how to make those improvements). Who knows, if I get such feedback, I may incorporate things I learn from that in another game.
