After spending most of the time building the gameplay on the server, I needed to test that everything works correctly. Asked Cursor to make me a quick screen, it's ugly but hey it works ! Next step is making this look like a game 😅

I spent last week mostly working on the API part of my game, since I'm going to build a Multiplayer Idle RPG, API is the cumberstone of the game and it's also where I have the least experience 😅 Good thing AI is there to guide me ! Not much to show for the #shipaton yet !

For my #shipaton game I mainly use Gemini to brainstorm and discuss how I should create the game's architecture. The context size is perfect for these kind of tasks. It knows most of the gameplay and helps me write the prompts for cursor.

For the #shipaton, I'm making a game ! I was always a fan of Idle games and MMOs, and for years i wanted to make my own idle game, I started a few times, but always abandoned. This time i'm sharing my journey to building my dream idle game !

New app waiting for review, tried to go back to fixing my own problems. The only app I have that makes money is the one I built for myself and that I use pretty often. Same philosophy will apply to my #shipaton app !

Renewed my App Store membership, just in time for the #shipaton !

I have one week of vacation from my 9-5 starting this evening. Hoping to release two new apps 💪 All the features are almost done, but the most important parts aren't done yet: Onboarding & Paywall !

Apple Payday 🎉 First month where I pass the 100€ mark, not much compared to a lot of people here but I'm pretty happy with it ! And next month should be even more.

Oh boy here we go again ! Got a month to find an interesting idea 💡

I'm trying to code in the train but my internet connection though otherwise Having to code myself is so slow...

Google is way faster to do reviews than Apple, shipped an update during lunch break, it got approved during the afternoon. Hoping I get it approved on the App Store before tomorrow 🤞

My experience with cursor and custom rules 😥

Remade my screenshots experiments saturday morning, hoping for them to be approved quickly to immediately get feedback during the weekend (when I get the most downloads) and Apple took 2 days to approve them... The joy of App Building 😥

A lot of people are sleeping on Android, but for me it bring much more revenue per download than iOS. I get 1/2 of my revenue from Android for only a 1/10 of the downloads. Lifetime offers seem to work much better there (no subscriptions)

Last week I've made new App Store Screenshots and started an experiment to see if they convert better or not. They do not ! Back to design again !

Finally managed to change my developer account on the Play Store to an Organization ! No more finding 12 testers and waiting 14 days to release an app !

Last week I had a small bug in my app and two people reached out to me about it, fixed their issue and asked them for a review if they had a few minutes to spare. They both left a one praising my reactivity 🔥 Is this a new stategy to get reviews ?!

Just shipped a tiny tool on App Showcase to track the next Apple payment date! If you're an iOS dev, go check it out 👇 appshowca.se/apple-payments

Finally reached 1000$ of revenue across my apps 🔥 Might not be more for a lot of people here, but for my small side projects I'm pretty happy with it ! No life changing money, but hey at least I'm not loosing money anymore 😅
