All-Peaks Solitaire flash version release

I’m finally releasing flash version of All-Peaks Solitaire game.
Game now has 3 modes: Tri-Peaks, Pyramid and Lamp(mode with my own game rules).
I’m planning to release mobile version of the game in 2017 and start working on two new games.

I know, making game trailers is not my strong suit.
Happy New 2017 (or 2560) Year! 🙂

Let’s Encrypt

Thank to Let’s Encrypt, I was finally able to move all of my websites and sub-domains to SSL.
It was not that hard to obtain all the required certificates, install them and setup an auto update.
Most awesome features about Let’s Encrypt are:
– it’s FREE;
– it supports multiple domains;
– while setup, all the certificates are updated automatically;
– I even use it for my mail server, and FTP, and SVN. Ya, encrypt everything! 🙂

I was also able to setup SSL certificate with NodeJS, so back-end for my games will slowing start moving to SSL connection too.

All-Peaks Solitaire in beta

Beta version of All-Peak Solitaire game is already available for online player at my website.
I have already finished with graphics and sfx as well as background music.
So far only game ha only 4 layouts, but I’m going to add more soon.

Pozirk.pro и Pozirk.info

Какой-то мудак купил домены pozirk.pro и pozirk.info и сделал точную копию моего сайта.
Если whois не врёт, то этот мудак:
Registrant Name: Aleksandr Stroganov
Registrant Organization: Private Person
Registrant Street: Matveevskoe p
Registrant City: moskva
Registrant State/Province: moskovskaya
Registrant Postal Code: 119501
Registrant Country: RU
Registrant Phone: +7.9836638348
Registrant Email: ffjfjff@gmail.com

Судя по тому, что за последнюю неделю на мой сайт валило куча спам-траффика с сайта onclickads[dot]net, мудила решил сделать точную копию моего сайта и загонять туда трафик, чтобы зарабатывать на чужом контенте.
Для мудака это, видимо, обычное дело, бо на его имеил зарегистрировано ещё куча других сайтов:

UPDATE: Тут только что заметил, мудак изменил мою страницу About у себя. Теперь разрабтчиком Pozirk Games являюсь не я, а какой-то “Azmun Dedich”:

Этот урод начал нагонять трафик на свой сайт по 100-200к в день, частично он перепадает и мне, бо некоторые файлы всё ещё грузятся с моего сайта.
Учитывая что на его сайте стоят мои Google Analytics и Google Adsense, а игры не работают, непонятно нахрена ему всё это надо.

All-Peaks Solitaire, first screenshot

Trying to find sometime to work on All-Peaks Solitaire between all these holidays and moving/renovations, I have.
Here is first screenshot:

If lucky enough time-wise, I’m planning to release beta version of the game by the end of July.
I guess, I need to register a domain name asap, until some “nice guy” did it for me.

All-in-One Solitaire on hold, All-Peaks Solitaire in development, All-in-One Mahjong

I have decide to put All-in-One Solitaire 2 game development on hold and make All-Peaks Solitaire game first.
All-Peaks Solitaire will be a mix of Tri-Peaks and Pyramid Solitaire with lots of different layouts.

Also All-in-One Mahjong is featured as “#1 Hit Game” at Big Fish Games in Mahjong category both for PC and Mac. And I’m really happy about that. 🙂

All-in-One Solitaire 2

OK, so today I’m finally starting the development of All-in-One Solitaire 2 game.
It should come with lots of new solitaire games.
I was thinking a lot about which Framework to use and tried many of them, but decided to stick with Haxe/OpenFL. Although, I would say OpenFL is still kind of in beta state and there many features which are not working or working incorrectly.

So far, I’m planning the following games to add:
Forty Thieves Solitaire
6 Peaks Solitaire
Thieves of Egypt Solitaire
Agnes Solitaire
John Town Solitaire
Algerian Solitaire
Earthquake Solitaire
Real Housewives Spider Solitaire
Diplomat Solitaire
Power Solitaire
Vegas Style Klondike
Deuces Solitaire
Golf Solitaire
Wasp Solitaire
Yukon Solitaire

Yahoo Games того

Ну вот и не стало Yahoo Games.
Благодаря усилиям FGL, игроков All-in-One Solitaire удалось перевести на мои сайты.
Мой VPS стал резко тормозить, а я всё никак не могу перейти с Apache на Nginx или ещё что-нить такое же шустрое.
Спас CloudFlare.com, теперь большая часть траффика идёт через него.

All-in-One Mahjong on Big Fish Games

Today Big Fish published my All-in-One Mahjong game on their website.
There are two interesting things about this:
1. A pirated version of the game appeared on Torrents ~1 day (maybe 4-10 hours) before Big Fish release:
https://dark-os.com/viewtopic.php?t=288500
2. I was thinking that the quality of the game is not really good comparing to other games on Big Fish.
Seriously, poor graphics (for regular casual game), average sfx, no storyline.
For example, some of the graphics for the game were taken from Open Clip Art website.
Although, game has its charm and many fans.

Anyway, I have two more sequels, hope Big Fish will publish them too. 🙂

NOOK Apps Store Closure

Btw, yes.

NOOK App Store is closed.
I don’t own any of NOOK Tablets, but I liked their apps store as a developer. 🙂
All-in-One Solitaire game was always among top games.
One of their main features was that they had only PAID apps, but apparently it didn’t make them enough profit, so they switched to Google Play on newer NOOK Tablets and closed their own store.
Ç’est dommage. 🙁
