Sticking With Star Realms!

What's going on everyone!?

Today for the #2019gameaday challenge I decided to redownload the Star Realms app and give it a shot since it's been a year or so since I last played it.

Even after so long away from the app. I'm reminded of the beginning versions that were in my opinion, superior to the newer version. 

The reason being that while the now version looks nice and has some awesome features, I felt that they could have left the background normal and not tried to make it require so much memory to run the game.

But anyway, I dont want to stray too far off path here, lol. The game is as amazing as the first time I played it and man do I love it!

Surprisingly even after so much time away I was able to jump right back in and even scored a win for myself! 

As always, thank you for reading and don't forget to stop and smell the meeples! :)

Introducing A New Google Play App And Game Icon Specification

Posted by Steve Suppe, Product Manager, Google Play
As part of our focus and dedication to improving the Google Play Store experience for our users, we are introducing new design specifications for your app icons.

Left to right: original icon, new icon (example), original icon in legacy mode

As of early April, you will be able to upload new icons to the Google Play Console and confirm you are compliant with the new specification. Original icons are still accepted in the Google Play Store during this time. As of May 1st, developers will no longer be able to upload icons in the Play Console which do not meet the new specifications, although existing original icons in the Google Play Store during this period can remain unchanged.
By June 24, we require you to:

1. Update your icon to the new specification.
2. Upload your icon to Play Console.
3. Confirm in Play Console that your icon meets the new specification.

We highly recommend that you update your icons and confirm they meet the new specification as soon as possible to ensure that you provide the highest quality experience for users.

What exactly is changing?

• Icon assets will remain the same size (512 x 512), but transparent backgrounds will no longer be allowed.
• Google Play on Android and Chrome OS will dynamically apply rounded corners and drop shadows to icons. The corner radius will be 20% of the icon size, to ensure consistency at different sizes.
• There will be no changes to Google Play on other form factors (TV, Wear, Auto).
• Note this does not affect your APK launcher icons for Android.

Timelines	Changes
Early April	You can start uploading your new icons in Play Console and confirm they meet the new specification. Original icons will continue to display correctly in Google Play. New icons will display correctly in Google Play.
May 1st	Any new icons uploaded in Play Console must be confirmed as meeting the new specification. Original icons will continue to display correctly in Google Play. New icons will display correctly in Google Play.
June 24th	Original icons are converted to "legacy mode." You must confirm that any new icons uploaded in Play Console meet the new specification. Original icons will be automatically converted to "legacy mode" icons. New icons render correctly in the Google Play Store.

These updates will help us all provide a more unified and consistent look and feel for Google Play, allowing us to better showcase your apps and games and provide a higher quality user experience.
We will be keeping you up-to-date with these changes in the coming months - so look out for more updates. In the meantime, check out our new icon design specifications.
