I’ll start making weekly videos with the progress on my first game. Here’s the first week!

@BarelyAGS Difficulty level: 7.0 magnitude earthquake 🤣

It’s not a bug, it’s a new feature 😎

After a few days of digging through docs, I got the controls in place for every screen! Now it’s time to go design some gameplay.

I’ve been wanting to start creating content on another platform, focused more on long form and flexibility. Im torn between YouTube: seems more fun and handles discoverability. A newsletter: it’s easier to produce and I have more over the audience.

Yesterday I got the on-screen controls working. But, when running on an iPhone they won’t show up. My next goal is to understand how the camera and the screen work so I can draw UI regardless of size and aspect ratio. The white squares are my buttons, testing draw positions 😂

I’ve been following a tutorial for the game and got most of the things I need working. I understand how everything works now. I just need to finish the virtual joystick 🤣 for mobile controls and I can start my own game. #gamedev #buildinpublic

Now watching an almost-3-hours long video on the story of RPG games. youtube.com/watch?v=8o3i10…

There are a ton of things that I can think of to add to it, but this is not something I’m particularly passionate about. So working on it feels more like a chore than anything else at this point. Now it’s time to head on 100% into making a game.

Version 1.1 of the Macros App went live today! And that’s probably as far as it will go. This app had one purpose: prove that I can ship. And it did just that.

Yesterday I finished everything I wanted to do for version 1.1 of the app. Now a weekend of admin work to release it and then I switch to the next project.

Chat GPT can’t estimate macros from liquid. But I added an optional description and it went from “I can’t see” to “here it is”.

@didier_sp We need to keep showing up no matter how hard it gets 👏🏻

It’s fun to see how half the people that started here with @saidaelena_sp and I a few months ago are now gone. The other half are now doing cooler, bigger stuff. We just have to keep going, keep building, keep shipping.

@SteffyNotion @NotionHQ How do you do the translation? Duplicate the template and change everything?

Working on the translation of my @NotionHQ finance template ✨ Here's a sneak peek of the Spanish version 🇪🇸 #buildinpublic

@gratatouille23 Not at all! What worked for me was using this url: https:// apps. apple. com/redeem?code={CODE} And adding the code there. That goes to the AppStore, adds the subscription and in theory downloads the app, but I haven’t tested that part yet.

@didier_sp Nice Didier! Mind sharing how you did it or resources that helped you figure it out?

Just figured out how to use promo codes for the app stores. It’s not hard to do, but I didn’t find any straightforward docs on it. #buildinpublic

I was watching some videos recently about how to optimize a steam page and it’s basically the same concepts as any other sales/landing page. They just have a specific layout.

Added stats and daily goals to the macros app. Only a few more changes before releasing v1.1 #buildinpublic

I started muting users. I took a wrong turn somewhere and landed in the wrong side of X.

Facebook: goes down. Calm:
