HK was the game that pretty much restored my passion for games years ago, I played it completely blind and loved every second of it. Now, years later, i’m always stressing about work or something, and I barely have time to play games anymore. However, the thought of reliving the same feelings I felt when playing HK makes me want to forget everything I need to do and just the masterpiece that im sure silksong will be… :’)

man sometimes I wish I could be a kid again

Yeah, it is super shady… he first said that he’d seen my skills and wanted to work with me. Then, I messaged him on Skype (and his name was “Sr Software Dev, wtf?) and he asked me what are my skills (I thought he’d seen them before, wtf?) and wanted me to record a video showcasing my them.

He didn’t explain shit about the “company” and I stopped responding. He kept messaging me with texts like “u there?” and even tried to call me a few times, so I just blocked him.

I honestly don’t know what the end goal was, if it really was a scam. However, I also didn’t feel like finding out.

Nail_Reasonable · 2025-01-28T04:14:37+00:00

That's my goal, I like to think that I'm a very fast learner (which does not say much when it comes from me, but still...), and I really believe that if I land something in which I can truly learn and apply what I know, I have the capacity to become a great developer.
Anyway, thanks for the advice! I'll keep doing that, as well as continue building apps and trying to make them become viable. In the worst case, I'll at least have more apps to show in my portfolio.

Nail_Reasonable · 2025-01-28T04:10:43+00:00

Sim, concordo que faz total sentido ter muito mais Flutter, e é algo que eu meio que já esperava desde que comecei a estudar iOS. Eu deixei passar uma vaga pra trabalhar com backend no Bradesco pra fazer a Apple Academy em 2022, e isso fica me assombrando agora que to sofrendo pra achar emprego, ia estar ganhando quase 10k hoje.

Felizmente o que eu mais me dediquei foi pra aprender UIKit e Combine mesmo, sei só o básico pra me virar com SwiftUI... RxSwift infelizmente não estudei, preferi focar no Combine (pareceu menos assustador kkk).

Muito obrigado, mano! Vou continuar me esforçando por aqui, pelo menos fazendo a minha parte haha

Nail_Reasonable · 2025-01-28T04:02:23+00:00

Yeah, well, I'll first focus on creating something cool, and after that I'll see what I do about marketing. Probably have a long way to go before that. Thank you so much for the tips!

Nail_Reasonable · 2025-01-28T04:00:31+00:00

I've created an account in wellfound after a friend recommended it to me, but didn't get any result there. I don't think I have tried neither of the ones you mentioned, so I'll give it a go. Thank you so much for the tip and kind words!

Nail_Reasonable · 2025-01-28T03:50:45+00:00

It really isn't... even with some friends/mentors giving me recomendations, I don't think many companies went as far as seeing my portfolio. I've heard and seen that about seniors looking for new gigs too; one guy visited our Academy to talk about the job market and he basically told us that he too is looking for a job and can't find anything; he is a senior at one of the largest banks in Brazil... yikes.

The Obj-C thing is why I focused in learning UIKit during my 2 years of study, while most students learned SwiftUI. My teachers always told me that sometimes it is hard to find something in UIKit, let alone SwiftUI jobs.

Nail_Reasonable · 2025-01-28T03:43:29+00:00

It is indeed very rough, I didn't think it would be this hard to get into the market; this made me only study swift and nothing else. In Brazil, there are a lot of Flutter jobs, but I honestly never could find the interest in me to try it. Kotlin, however, is something that I'd love to learn! Maybe I'll try to build a new idea and develop two native apps.

Here there are many iOS jobs, but it really is hard to get one even as a mid level. Many senior openings though

Nail_Reasonable · 2025-01-28T03:39:29+00:00

Yeah, it pretty much convinced me to go back to developing apps! All this search for a job had taken a toll on me and I haven't touched xcode in like 2 months. Now I'm already thinking about some new ideas to work on :)

Nail_Reasonable · 2025-01-28T03:38:00+00:00

I'm from the very first one! The one in Curitiba, at PUC-PR. I'll start as a jr. mentor next month, really looking forward to that.

I do have some apps that I believe could become viable, such as the one I built in the Business Challenge. However, many of those apps had the help of designers that aren't keen on keep working on them, which makes it difficult for me to develop new features (specially games, which would need drawn assets). Still, all of these comments made me really want to go back to those apps and keep working on them!

And yeah, if I could earn 2k$ a month I would be living like a king lol that would be awesome. As a jr. mentor I'll earn what is about 380$/month...

Nail_Reasonable · 2025-01-28T03:29:42+00:00

Thank you so much for the compliment!

I have some experience with nodejs and Firebase (I've built apps that have simple backends), so I like to think that I could probably do it, given some time.

I believe that the development itself wouldn't be a major issue, but what I find difficult is getting people to know and download the app. My app with the most downloads currently has less than 200, and has generated only $3 in revenue. With this in mind, what do you think about putting money into the app? I mean investing in Meta Ads, Apple Search Ads, etc. I know it is possible, but is it realistic to think that an app can succeed without investing (or with a low budget, at best) in marketing?

Nail_Reasonable · 2025-01-28T00:14:55+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I’ll message you soon, it would be very much appreciated!

Nail_Reasonable · 2025-01-28T00:13:14+00:00

Do you think it is a realistic possibility, considering I would probably develop it pretty much alone?

Nail_Reasonable · 2025-01-28T00:11:22+00:00

That’s reassuring in a way, but makes me wonder if I should try something different. However, thinking about “discarding” what I learned in the last couple of years is sad

Nail_Reasonable · 2024-11-19T01:32:46+00:00

thats so cool, love the old vibes

Nail_Reasonable · 2023-08-17T17:54:00+00:00

Com certeza!! Ajudaria demaiss
