Many times after reading a book, that I know a friend or colleague recommended me, I forgot why they told me to read it and couldn't follow up with them. I also use it to take notes of the books I'm reading.
It's open to the public but it's good enough to build on it for myself.
I've been making a proper survival strategy game. I made a few games before but they were only about a week's worth of work each, so I don't count them as "proper". This time I wanted to make a full-on project with professionally-done models, art, music etc. It's a reverse of the 4X formula - rather than starting as a small country and becoming a vast empire over the course of the game you start off heading a vast em…
You have set the release date to Nov, 2022 - when did you start working on it i.e. how much time is needed for a game like this?
Also, how much expirience have you had with UE or any other game engine before starting this project?
Do you do everything by yourself (art, music etc.) or do you buy / use free stuff from someone else?
I'm building wooden benches for bus and light rail stops in my neighborhood. Lots of riders are elderly and find themselves sitting on the curb, feet in the gutter, as they wait for transit. Studies suggest that perceived wait time increases by 30%+ when riders are forced to stand while they wait. There's no cheaper way to shave several minutes off of perceived trip time, for every trip.

Mainly started building it because I wanted to learn more about running a business, marketing, and SEO (all the technical parts of the business are relatively easy in comparison).
I started with literally just a Lambda function that checks if static websites were still online, added an email alert if it's offline, wrapped authentication around it, integrated Stripe, and shipped it.
I launched it into 200 competitors providing the "same" service and still managed to get customers.
Mainly from working two hours a day, every weekday, for almost a year now. Each feature I ship has to be shipped within a two hour block and iterated upon later (so I use feature flags - the other service I built), and I only build features actual customers ask for and can explain how that new feature would fit into their business processes.
I'm a musician. Long term. 43 years old, been playing forever. Don't care if I get any success at it. Not a hobby. Makes money sometimes. I play professionally. For money. On stage. If you play for your entire life, you can get really good at a ton of things. I played pedal steel at a rehearsal for my country band tonight. I played piano at a rehearsal for my hot club jazz band on Monday. I played upright bass at a r…
https://expiringcake.com I built it to get email reminders about things that expire, such as passports, free trial cancellation dates, Covid antigen tests, travel reward and free night expiration dates, etc. My real sob story is that my passport unknowingly expired and I didn't notice until I was checking in to an international flight. I really don't want that to happen again, especially now that I have more passport…
