Tired. So very tired.
Not of my programming projects exactly. I'm tired because as I continue to improve my latest app, Gemini Falcon, which is turning out rather well I think, I think of new bells and whistles to add to it. The idea that it will never be done is scary, and the idea that if I stop development now it won't be as perfect as I could make it if spent more time on it is frustrating.
The only major item left is to decide how to monetize it -- as if I'll make any real jack on it anyway. I could just release it for free; or I could add full screen or banner advertisements, which I hate to encounter when I'm playing a game; I could add in-app billing, which would require a lot more work (sigh); or I could create a limited free demo version and a fully featured version for a small amount of money.
I don't expect to make any money on this, so why am so concerned about it? In the back of my mind I worry that if I gave it away and millions of people loved it and then I would miss out on a life-changing amount of income. That would be a bummer!
