Scott MacLean's Blog

I run a one-man shop called Green-Eyed Games, where I make small games with simple interfaces and interesting mechanics. My first title is Last Train to Timbuktu.

Thanks for the tip. I ...

Thanks for the tip. I haven 't experienced that myself. I wonder if it 's related to your location vs. the region the data is stored in, or whether the data is stored in a slower service tier.
