[OC] I processed 100 million drawings on my web game over 8 years. This chart visualizes the massive ‘Lockdown Spike’ vs. the ‘New Normal’.

  1. Source: Internal database logs from my web game, Drawize.

    Tools: Python (Matplotlib).

    Context: I launched this game in 2017 as a solo developer for a contest (which I lost). I kept it running on the side.

    The chart shows three distinct phases:

    The Slow Start: 2017-2019.

    The Covid Spike: In 2020, traffic exploded by 600% as schools and friends played remotely.

    The Retention: While the viral spike ended, the “New Normal” settled at ~3x the pre-pandemic volume.

    Yesterday, we hit the 100,000,000th drawing. The backend runs on .NET on just 2 servers.
