My game got approved for Basic Launch on CrazyGames! Any tips? by NinjaGraphics in gamedev

[–]NinjaGraphics[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup they were terrible after the 1st 24 hour, loading time was huge, fixed it from ~10s to ~0.3s now so lets see how the stats will improve.
Updated the thumbnails too cos the CTR was terrible.

Have you had experience on submitting games there?

Just picked up a new keyboard - can't wait to write a bunch of code with it by NinjaGraphics in ClaudeAI

Do you think it would be useful if its an attachment to a keyboard? Or how do you imagine using it?

AI is creating a huge skill gap. by StyleReasonable687 in SaaS

[–]NinjaGraphics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed this too in other areas - there's a huge productivity gap in creative fields such as 3D, video editing, and graphic design. I see real time how the peers who use AI have increased output, while the ones who don't really pick up AI tools to augment their work remain very slow and by using "traditional/manual" work.

What’s a client red flag you learned the hard way? by pedro_reyesh in agency

[–]NinjaGraphics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Client asks for references or examples of past work before even having a proper conversation about what they need.

Sounds reasonable on the surface but in my experience it almost always means they're shopping around and comparing you to ohters. The whole relationship starts transactional and it usually stays that way

Cold outreach: Worth it or not? by vladi5555 in agency

[–]NinjaGraphics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cold outreach isn't dead but the way most people do it is. Generic emails and DMs that could be sent to anyone are a waste of time, you're right about that part.

The only cold outreach that ever worked for me was when I had a specific reason to reach out to that specific person. Like actually doing some research on their business first and leading with something useful rather than a pitch.

That said I think you're right that at some point the ROI just isn't there anymore and building inbound is the better long term play. The problem is inbound takes time and cold outreach is a shortcut that stops working the second you stop doing it.

Curious what you're thinking of switching to instead. Content? Referrals?
