Introduction
Hey everyone — tunmi13 here, back with an update on my apps, games, and everything in between.
If you’ve followed my work over the years, you know I’ve developed quite a few apps and games. But now feels like the right time to take a step back, reflect on what’s happened, and share what’s next.
What Happened with the Frequent Updates?
I used to push updates to my apps and games constantly — sometimes weekly, sometimes even daily. But over time, things slowed down. And there’s one word that best explains why:
Stress.
Let’s rewind a bit. When I first started college, everything felt manageable. I was juggling multiple projects, cranking out big updates, fixing bugs, and honestly enjoying the process. But things changed when I switched my major to Computer Technology Support and Administration. This included topics like Cybersecurity, Cloud Computing, INET, and general CTSA coursework.
The problem? These classes weren’t accessible. Many of the tools and platforms used in these courses were either partially accessible or not accessible at all. Professors tried their best to help — and I’m grateful for that — but often they simply didn’t know how to support blind students properly.
That left me struggling to keep up. I couldn’t access the same material as my sighted peers, and any modifications made it harder for me to truly grasp the content. As a result, my academic stress bled into everything — including my development work.
There were days I’d sit in Notepad++ (yes, I still use it — fight me), staring at the same line of code, unsure of what to write next. Sometimes I’d go all-in, coding like crazy. Other times, I’d overwrite something important without backing it up — and Git? Yeah, let’s just say I wasn’t always smart about using it.
The stress was overwhelming — mentally and physically. I went from 165 pounds to 138. I’ve never dropped that much weight before, and it was deeply concerning. My parents said I looked worn, and tired, despite getting tons of sleep. More than anything, I started feeling like I was letting people down — delaying projects, coding slowly, and just barely hanging on.
The Turning Point
Recently, I made a major decision: I’m switching to AA Liberal Arts.
I’m easing into it first, but since English is my second favorite subject, this change feels right. It’s a transfer-friendly path, and if all goes well (and I kick my procrastination habits), I hope to be at a university by mid-2026.
So… What Now?
Now that you’ve heard the whole story, here’s the answer to the big question:
What happens next?
Well, the tough news is: I’m stepping back from actively developing some of my apps and games. No more big updates — at least for those. I’ll still release bug fixes, patches, and minor improvements where needed. But new features and major overhauls won’t be happening for the following projects.
List of Apps and Games
Below are the apps and games that are being scaled back. Some may eventually be deprecated.
Apps
- Radiology Tools
- MouseTrack
- Swamp Keyboard Configuration Switcher
Games
- Skateboarder Pro
- Jump Sprint
- Space Defender
- Crimson Splash Unlimited Edition
Important:
Any apps or games not listed above are still in full development and will continue to receive updates.
Conclusion
I’m truly sorry if any of your favorite projects are on that list. But I have to prioritize my health — both mental and physical — and that means stepping back to recover and regroup.
I’m hopeful that once I’m through with this college chapter, I can leave the stress behind and fully return to what I love doing: creating.
Thanks for sticking with me. It means more than you know.
