Merging greenyetilab.com in agateau.com

written on Saturday, August 12, 2017

A few years ago I started Green Yeti Lab, I envisioned it would become a game and app studio, able to produce at least part of my income while I was doing consulting. Since this was not necessarily free-software related I decided to create a separate site for it. It did not work out as expected: my first game did not generate any significant revenue, and I was starting to feel miserable with my current consulting client. I met Genymobile during a conference, and managed to land a job as a Qt developer there, ending my independent developer plus consultant attempt.

In my free time, I continued working on my next game: Tiny Wheels and updating Green Yeti Lab site, but it eventually stalled. Tiny Wheels did not receive any update for 2 years, as I switched to work on Yokadi. That was getting me frustrated, so this summer I started to work on the game again.

I also decided having one site for mobile development and another for all the rest does not make much sense. I'd rather have a single place where I can write, whether it's about game or app development, drawing or whatever I feel like ranting about. Therefore I am merging greenyetilab.com into agateau.com.

The project pages for Burger Party and Tiny Wheels have been imported, as well as all the blog posts. Most of them only have historical value, but a few might be of interest for you:

• Introducing Linguaj: An Apache 2 licensed, gettext library for Android applications;
• Subtle difference between Duplicate and Copy'n'Paste: In Inkscape, "Duplicate" is not the same as "Copy and Paste";
• Who's first?: How to compute the race order of cars in a top-down car game.

Now that this is done, I can go back to work on Tiny Wheels!
