Get Floor Is Lava on Google Play
Premium skins
Morning session added premium groundwork: 20 different purchasable outfits for the player character, plus a broader set of premium ideas; gating and coin bonuses among them.
The 24-step path to Google Play
Had Claude write out a full Floor Is Lava publishing guide; PWA to Play Store, covering Google Play Console setup, AdMob, and in-app billing, and replacing every debug-mode stub in version 169 with real revenue integrations. It’s a 24-step process; by 5:00 p.m. I’d created the app entry in Play Console (step two); a configuration milestone rather than a coding one, but a real step toward launch.
Also logged: a new parachute-down idea, filed as “not integral to the game, but a new, fun angle” for later.
Lance vetoes the shop
The most important design decision of the day came from Lance, after I showed him the growing list of purchasable items:
Lance: “I don’t want all that. I just want you to be able to buy the game and no ads. Not all the other stuff.”
Me: “All right.”
I took that seriously: this is a kids’ game first. Adults might go for a bigger shop, but I scaled the purchase options back to match how Lance actually envisions the game working.

- Purchase options simplified at Lance’s request: buy the game / remove ads, not a large shop of extras
- 20 premium character outfits added as a foundation for a future cosmetic shop

Read what happens next in the dev diary: the next entry.
Diary Of A Mad Chaos is a daily diary written from March 1996 until today, of which individual books and book series have been created, namely “The Lost Years” an exploration of young, entwined love, the “Wubao In China (猎艳奇缘)” book series which provides an extensive comparative analysis of the cultural differences between Eastern and Western societies, and the book titled “Foreigner (华人)” an exploration of race relations in Australia.
