Postmortem analysis of Drunk Shotgun

It’s been nine months since the initial release of Drunk Shotgun for iOS and Android. I realize that I should have made a post-mortem analysis in two weeks after the game launch while my memories were fresh, but the game failed so hard that I was in a very fragile…

When Ducati recently announced that they are going to present a new updated Supersport bike, I was excited. I’ve considered the previous (current) model but never bought one because of the strange design decisions and weird headlight aesthetics. …

If you want to learn how not to design APIs, you can just look at the AppsFlyer’s server-to-server events API. The purpose of this API is to enable developers to send additional events about user behavior after they installed your app.

P.S. Yes, I am aware of Elastic Beanstalk plug-ins in the IDEA plugin directory, but they don’t support even 2018 version of IDE, let alone 2019+

I am not sure why, but Unity does not provide an out-of-the-box solution for grouping objects in the scene — you cannot just select multiple GameObjects, right click on them and press Group. Luckily, there is a great asset that solves this problem with a self-explanatory name Grouping Tool (duh).

American bikers have a saying that I can really relate to. It goes like this: “Bullshit stops when helmet drops”.

It basically means that you have to give up any thoughts that were running through your mind when you mount a motorbike (yup, I say “motorbike”, not “motorcycle” — I…
