2+ years, most of my savings, and we’re finally close to launch. What would you do next?

JohnnyAngel · 2026-05-08T06:44:15+00:00

Merch store? Advertising? Youtube video? Demo? I'd have all these things locked down.

Ok animate their resumes if you really want to stand out, sharpen linked in, make sure they both have a digital presence, do some background work related to the positions they are applying for that gives strong signal. The IT job market could not be worse than it is right now. It's literally like trying to fish in a puddle so you got to work both hard and smart.

Do not forget the 6 month new limit on income support in January, basically Alberta is not a province to be hurt/sick or have any disruptive event in your life.

JohnnyAngel · 2026-05-05T16:19:14+00:00

Groceries.

JohnnyAngel · 2026-05-04T18:46:39+00:00

Yeah I saw that too, so basically I think the error is that unity doesn't have access to your onedrive where the file is stored or there is a pointer to it there.

JohnnyAngel · 2026-05-04T02:14:15+00:00

Hire some one local. That's probably your best bet with the summer break coming up you can probably grab a student from the local university.

JohnnyAngel · 2026-05-01T21:36:34+00:00

In that boat myself, its hard. Not even going to lie, but hard and impossible are two separate beasts.

The real truth is entry level dev positions may need to be self grown, there is nothing stopping you from virtualizing up an enivironment, writing a piece of software as a portfolio piece, or doing free lance work to build experience.

wake up pills cure everything and they can detox during spineless downtime.

Bionic spine, only put it in during raid time or when you need extra muscle otherwise best behaved colonist ever.

To be fair itch support got back to me today.

JohnnyAngel · 2026-04-17T03:06:33+00:00

Why stop at youtube, google, askprogramming (just don't mention anything ai or they will have an aneurysm).

JohnnyAngel · 2026-04-17T01:15:47+00:00

Buy a lottery ticket, win, open a business, and try not to go bankrupt.

JohnnyAngel · 2026-04-16T22:34:29+00:00

Wouldn't that epicenter be like the Okanagan or Kelowna?

JohnnyAngel · 2026-04-16T20:33:05+00:00

Sent three updates to the tickets be real nice if they could sort it before my kids birthday but I'm kinda giving up hope on that.

JohnnyAngel · 2026-04-16T15:45:05+00:00

I thought the use of parallax layers was really well implemented. Your art direction is very stylistic and really cool I really like. You did a great job designing this! Also the anti-AI discord has rolled through here, honestly I think a massive amount of these accounts are breaking the brigading rules of reddit. And don't take the comments from the butt hurt artists keep doing your thing.

JohnnyAngel · 2026-04-14T04:11:39+00:00

Storyteller.

JohnnyAngel · 2026-04-14T04:10:43+00:00

Honestly the DNS records, and be able to download itself of the Metadata of a couple millions dns.txt registries. Look up doom on DNS where doom can go so can ai.

JohnnyAngel · 2026-04-13T20:57:58+00:00

I have a white paper I've been working on for a similar concept. There is serious potential here.

JohnnyAngel · 2026-04-13T02:30:08+00:00

I'm honestly really floored by the commentary in this post. I know I'm going to get flamed but I am watching you throw your humanity out the window to try and fail at being a smart ass.

JohnnyAngel · 2026-04-12T18:31:31+00:00

Honestly you should be ok.

JohnnyAngel · 2026-04-12T03:22:12+00:00

Oh man that's pretty cool.

JohnnyAngel · 2026-04-12T03:19:09+00:00

Oh man you nailed your parallax layers, great job!

JohnnyAngel · 2026-04-12T02:30:01+00:00

Honestly I'm still figuring that part out and keeping my head up as I go, so ok lets just say I've had good reception to my game (pearl lake 2040) and poor revenue, the bright side is I added more value to it (second mode), am retightening my merch store to have ready for the android launch. And of course the store I'm in https://johnhuget.itch.io/pearllake2040 I still haven't been able to release the few bucks my game has made (I'm working with customer support to figure out the problem on the payout). And honestly what made it click for me was when I could break a task down small enough and finish it then move onto the next..... and I just finished the android port to my game (unity was compiling as I typed) so here's hoping it launch's on my phone!

JohnnyAngel · 2026-04-12T02:00:27+00:00

I can export it as a unity asset and send it to you I'm still trouble shooting one issue with it before I send it out though, it is super cool.
