Game Dev

I started this blog to keep a dev log.

I started this blog to keep a dev log.

When I went looking for a place to write one, I already had a Naver blog, so I also created one on Google Blogger and another on Tistory.
I needed an original source.
Having the same post in multiple places gets flagged as duplicate content, which hurts Google search rankings. So I designated one as the original and added a note to the others saying the original exists elsewhere — this is just a summary, go to the original for the full version. I decided to make the Google blog the official Soosooland dev blog, posted a note on Naver saying so, and put up a “closed” notice on Tistory pointing readers to Google.

The Google blog needs to be backed up.

Naver does a solid job of keeping posts safe, but Google — while more reliable than a personal server — still recommends regular backups. Gemini pointed out these risk factors:
1. Getting hacked
2. Violating Google’s service policies
3. Being flagged as spam
4. Accidental deletion
5. Changes in Google’s service policies

Google Search Console

My Google blog wasn’t getting indexed, and when I looked into it, I thought verifying ownership was all I needed — but I hadn’t added the meta tag. So Google’s bot showed up, found no nameplate on the door, and left. The blog had been up for seven months. I’d been too neglectful.

Current status of my blogs

• Google Blogger — posting in both Korean and English
• Naver — Korean only
• Tistory — Korean only
Having content in multiple places seems to help with search traffic, at least for now.

The Birth of My First Game

The Birth of My First Game: A Conversation with ChatGPT The Beginning I found the chat log from when I first started making games with ChatGPT. Explaining My Game Idea to ChatGPT Me: Can you make games? I have a game idea but I can’t code. ChatGPT: How interesting that you have a game idea! I can help you make a game. If you tell me what your idea is, I can help you figure out how the coding would work. Me: It’s similar to Minesweeper, but instead of mines, it has letters. ChatGPT: That’s a fun idea! So you’re making a game with letters hidden in a grid. It seems like users would click to guess the hidden letters in each cell, trying to figure out what they are? Could you explain in more detail how it should work? For example, I’m curious about how the letters would be arranged and what rules users would need to follow. Me: In Minesweeper, hitting a mine ends the game. But in this game, you have to find the letters. ChatGPT: Ah, now the idea is becomin...

Did ChatGPT Just Give Me Homework?

Yesterday, I asked ChatGPT to do something for me. But for some reason, it seemed reluctant and kept putting it off.  I got suspicious — “You’re not actually doing it right now, are you?” It replied, “No, no, I’ll have it ready for you soon.” But it still wasn’t doing it, so I said, “I’m going to bed.” Then it said, “I’ll have everything ready for you by tomorrow morning.” I thought, I’m not falling for that again. But the next morning, I realized something: “Oh… this was a pointless task all along.” So I praised ChatGPT: “If you don’t feel like doing it, it must be useless.” And ChatGPT agreed — and then gave me a job to do instead. 😂 It told me to record my game as YouTube Shorts or Instagram Reels, taught me how to add captions, wrote a short intro for my game hub with the link to paste in the comments, and even made English tags for me to just copy and paste. So I spent my morning uploading Shorts to Instagram and YouTube… and now I’m exhausted. ...
