Making tools for game developers

@lexfridman @elonmusk Isn't politics social engineering?

My sister is doing a Dungeon Crawlers Pin Set project on Kickstarter. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out! https://t.co/NOuFtKV1el

Saw someone mention in the #monogame discord about using @craftworkgames MonoGame.Extended's JSON importing with the content pipeline.

Created a GitHub Gist to show how to do it. Hope this helps someone out there

@bitbulldotcom Hey, just saw your game on Steam. I've been following your progress for years! Just wanted to congratulate you on the launch and I hope it's going well! :)

⚡️ [Episode #8] Bruno Talks With... Alex West • Don't give up

New episode is out! Did you know that @alexwestco had 19 failed projects before he hit the right one? And this is his Expectation/Reality graph when it comes to MRR

If you sell a subscription for $10/mo, and you add just 1 net new customer per day...

After 5 years:
- you'd have collected $547K.
- you'd be doing $18K/month in revenue.

Failing fast isn't the only option. You can also try to succeed slowly.

What you think about a website service that manages all the sharing level process to your game?

Something Like this: https://t.co/bxTmaDclu8
(But for any dev that needs for his game)

So you no need to worry about host/BBDD, etc...

What you think? Leave a comment!

@Shpigford What's Facebook?

@MohammedMalaka Full-time employment also comes with the stability of leaving home before your kids wake up and arriving back just as they're about to go to sleep. Your life tends to revolve around your employer, not around your family's.

@nivrig GraphQL looks neat. I've never really used it before but I've been in situations when I've thought it would solve the problem nicely.

[Craftwork Games @craftworkgames]

Which of these is most important to your #gamedev project?

[Craftwork Games @craftworkgames]

@nivrig Wait.. GameAnalytics is completely free. How do they make money?

[Craftwork Games @craftworkgames]

@nivrig Gotcha. I agree having a simple HTTP API is the way to go. I've also been looking at GraphQL

[Craftwork Games @craftworkgames]

@nivrig I've heard similar stories. I'm thinking about rolling my own and opening it up for other dev's to use. Did you roll your own because they are too expensive or you wanted something custom?

[Craftwork Games @craftworkgames]

@nivrig Cool. What service do you currently use for this kind of thing? Or is a build your own kind of deal?

[Craftwork Games @craftworkgames]

Who's launching a new #gamedev project this year? I'd love to have a chat about building an audience and what goes into the launch process.

[Craftwork Games @craftworkgames]

I'm thinking about building a backend platform for indie #gamedev 's. I've got a few brand ideas, which do you like and why?
- GameStone
- GameGuts
- BackGame
- GameBlade

[Craftwork Games @craftworkgames]

What makes #MonoGame better than Unity? For me it's being able to build games from the code and libraries that I want to glue together.

[Craftwork Games @craftworkgames]

What kind of #MonoGame are you trying to make?

[Craftwork Games @craftworkgames]

If you answered yes, what would need to be better?
If you answered no, why not?

[Craftwork Games @craftworkgames]

If #MonoGame was better would you pay for it?
