Another week, another video!
Feels like I made a ton of progress yesterday and today, but watching that video I realize I still have a LONG way to go before I'm ready to actually launch an app. I have the basic framework down for the game, but I have a lot of ideas that will actually make this somewhat attractive in the iOS market. Obviously graphics and music are going to change, I made these in about five minutes (ok more like 30, I'm REALLY bad at graphics...) just as placeholders.
My idea/plan for this game is to release it completely free. Ad free and no up front cost. I know this sounds crazy, because obviously people will pay good money for this high quality and necessary game, riiight? :) I'm looking at this game as a learning experience for me, and release it for free will greatly increase my exposure, my audience, and my feedback. The more people that play with this code, the better I think. I have some ideas for monetizing after release, possibly with additional themes or different gameplay modes. I'm not sure about how to implement this smartly, plus it's way to early to be thinking about this stuff, but I am. I like to have an end goal to work towards, but tend to forget about all the steps it will take to get there. All in due time, I guess.
I'd also like to take this chance to say THANK YOU for reading this blog. It's fun to watch the stats grow each month as I post more, and get a few more readers to the site with each post. Knowing that someone out there is watching my progress, asking questions IRL, and commenting (...) is a huge motivation for me. Stay tuned, more to come as always!
