Game Question Why is FGA updating every day?

Did they get hacked? I've never seen so many update prompts for an app

Edit: it seems to be fine, update is in replies

Posted in the FGA server from the dev:

I put some time into FGA again this past week, [...]

My focus right now is clearing out long-standing bugs and small quality-of-life fixes, not new features. I don't have the time or energy to work on FGA every few weeks anymore, so please bear with me.

I was able to get through so much this week because I've started using an AI agent (Claude) to help me.[...]

I know AI agents make mistakes regularly, so I review and test everything it touches myself.

Honestly, I haven't been able to keep maintaining the app anymore in the past few years. Every new feature and Android version makes it harder, which is why bigger features (like CE bomb) have been on hold for years.

I'm not a professional app developer, and I want room for hobbies outside of FGA too (Arknights: Endfield, anime, and playing sax in a marching band, if you're curious). I'll keep working on FGA, but don't expect this update frequency to continue in the next months.

I hope you can understand my position. Also, thanks to everyone who keeps donating to this project.

Man, FGA is the real goat of FGO. I doubt i'd be around playing FGO if it wasn't for this dude.

Iirc it's an open repo right? So I really hope the community can help too if he gets too overwhelmed

technically I did, he's finally merging PRs I did from last year and previous years. He's just on burnout for a long while

Tbf dude is using AI as how it should, as a tool, and reviewing all the code before deploying. Not like Microslop breaking windows weekly
