In Review

Today I finally got my Ice Age Life app submitted. I had to update my Mac's version, then update Xcode's version, so that the SDK version could be updated, so that I could finally upload to the App Store — and now it's sitting there in review. I can't quite believe I actually did it. I should take the time to truly celebrate this one.

Jordan has been an amazing help through all of it — encouraging me, pushing me, just being there for the whole thing. I owe so much of this to him.

But from here on there's even more to do. Once it launches I need to think about Android, think about playtesting, think about versions, think about ads and in-app purchases. So really the grind just started. The submission was the part I'd been dreading, and now it's behind me, and waiting on the other side is all the rest of it.

Still — I'm glad I got it all submitted by the end of today.

Jordan was proud of me, and then promptly fell asleep, because it was late. So I ended up celebrating myself by throwing myself into other projects at the same time: converting the game over to build College Life, and restarting my MBTI historical-figures typing project — partly because I have tokens to waste, but also just because I genuinely like doing it. A weird way to celebrate, maybe, but it felt right. A good day overall.
