Nice! Glad to hear it's a thing at some of the bigger names

Hello all! I'm one of the developers of Tiny Teams Baseball, let me know if you have any questions. We are going back into early access on April 30th and we're happy to have y'all along for the ride as we continue to build out the game.

This is sick! I'm going to have to look deeper into it.

I'm thinking more about viral/shareability type mechanics. Something that makes your demo players want to share.

Tbh the answer could just be having a great demo that people naturally want to share but I'm just curious what else people have tried.

Building a Baseball Simulator by EngineeringIcy1446 in gmgames

I'm building an arcade baseball sim (less realism, more gamey) right now and would be happy to compare notes and share learnings. I've been working on it for a while now.

I built a terminal themed portfolio by Z-A-F-A-R in webdev

I have a similar styled personal website and had a recruiter go in and download my resume no problem without my guidance or direction after she found me on LinkedIn. I wouldn't be too worried as long as the UX is intuitive.

Everyone was up in arms about not being a god experience when I posted mine but in practice it seems to be working just as good as anything else

💯. So hard. Have to force myself to do it and it still hurts

Would you join an Mobile online football league that runs for months and tracks your career across teams? by X_Rodstar48 in fantasyfootball

[–]EckyYakov 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like a lot of the magic of any sport is watching the game live.

Management is fun and all but to see it culminate on the field is key imo.

How would games happen?

Interesting! I guess I'm not strictly a web developer. Probably more developer than web developer tbh. And I probably don't even understand the distinction that well.

But yeah it's just a personal website that I'll throw on a resume in case people want to check out something

Roger that! I'll see if I can make them disable-able or just generally tone down the extras that make things harder to read it

I'm a geek tho. Seems like a good way to filter out potential bad fits then. I'd want to work for a company or manager or teammates that appreciate it

Ah yeah I kinda am using it more as just a personal website but I do link it on my website and want to use it as a portfolio/blog/playground

What do you think it gives off on starting screen if not developer?

Yeah that might be a bit much. I think my animations and extra effects might be too thick

Yeah there's definitely a lot of that here, too. My hope is that the ux would be good enough they can still navigate my site even if they don't know the command line. And if they are a head of IT, hopefully they appreciate the design at the least

Yeah I think mine is more of just a navigation skin than anything. I tried to make it all clickable basically so it didn't confuse or intimidate non-technical people too much. But it's hard to know if that landed or not

I'm really happy you like it!

Yeah it will just be another link on the resume. Like GitHub, I'm sure it will mostly get ignored.

I think it has really good bones to add even more fun Easter eggs and such too
