Looks like a morimoto light kit

whaleodevs

Appreciate it! Let me know what you think.

Hey thanks. That’s what I’m really working on right now. The tutorial is a bit of a challenge. Lots to learn but don’t want overwhelm. If you have any thoughts please let me know.

I’m working on a save game function as well. Will definitely make it easier to pop in and out. It’s surprisingly more challenging than I expected but hoping to get it worked out.

whaleodevs

That's great. Thank you for the help!

whaleodevs

I hope you enjoy. 😀

Hey thanks. You can use the invite link in the post. Please send over some feedback too!

whaleodevs

Awesome. Yes I’m still working out the tutorial. Probably will have a bit more instruction in game. Any ideas on clearer instructions let me know. Thanks for the feedback so far! Looking forward to your thoughts.

whaleodevs

Sweet! TestFlight public link is in the description but any issues I can add you manually. Please DM me any feedback. Thank so much!

whaleodevs

Was gonna say this. All awesome

Sure, all was self promoted and honestly didn't go that well. I think consistency is really the key and I have trouble staying consistent with posts.

Toucharcade has always been a huge boost for me. Single handedly bringing up my trailer views into the thousands. With them gone it seems like some of the other mobile sites don't have as much impact, at least for me. So I didn't get much boost there.

I think it was apple featuring the preorder in "coming soon" and being listed in "new games we love" that was the biggest help. When you submit your game in App Store connect, make sure to nominate it for a feature. That ensures apple puts their eyes on it!

I'm biased but maybe The Valley of the Architects? ;)

Oh for sure, that was yesterday and I'm sure it differs by country. It was #26 by this morning now it's #29. All through the day it jumps so I guess the charts are pretty real time, I don't really know how it works.

whaleodevs

Cool idea! I can see that being fun. Agree with large projects being boring. I hit a wall so many times during development lol. But Ill take a bit of a break and come back rejuvenated. Releasing is pretty nerve-racking though. Happy to have a week under my belt and some nice reviews.

whaleodevs

I got you! Check your dms

whaleodevs

Appreciate it! Ya started working in 2020. Took me way too long tbh but I did get sidetracked along the way. Def not profitable considering the time but it's a hobby so it's okay. What are you working on?

whaleodevs

Awesome going to check it out!

whaleodevs

Sweet! What's it called?

whaleodevs

Yes I have. Might look into it in the future. Let me know if you are interested in playing.
