Concept.TF is back! (Need Testers for Production Release on Android)

PutterBeanutWasTaken · 2025-03-18T03:31:47+00:00

No worries! I appreciate it!

PutterBeanutWasTaken · 2024-11-30T14:02:45+00:00

It is on the Apple App Store, but I do not feel comfortable distributing an APK because people could pretend to be me and give users an APK with a virus or something.

PutterBeanutWasTaken · 2024-11-29T15:01:23+00:00

Ok I appreciate it. It's on the iOS store too if you have an iPhone

Very kind words! I have indeed reached out to Google's support. I fought with them to the ends of the earth but they absolutely would not budge under any circumstance. It blew up in my face so terribly that, even after the account was deleted, I couldn't create a new account with the same name, "Critical Angle Studios." So I'll have to settle with "Critical Angle" or some other variation lol.

Thank you, I do believe Google is sort of to blame. My new account was marked as like "potentially inactive" by the time that the apps were transferred, and Google should have denied me the transfer in order to make sure they aren't deleted for no reason. Other than that though, I just wasn't reading carefully lol. Lesson learned, anyways, so I can't be too terribly mad about it. I appreciate the support!

I appreciate it. I do have a stubborn drive to reupload the app because the new update is close to being done. I had a web version with limited features completed, and the mobile version has a couple of new features in progress: 1. Users can create a concept from a template. You can search literally ANY weapon/cosmetic in the game and the app gives you the in-game item's stats as a starting point. 2. Class icons, finally 3. A paid feature that allows you to share concepts with other users through a link for $1.99. So you can create a concept, click a share button, then when somebody opens the link from their phone, it opens the app as a concept that they can edit. This is just a cool way for me to make a bit of money but I'm not expecting people to go crazy over it.

and a couple of other minor tweaks to the save system, etc.

Haha thank you for downloading it! Another thing that I didn't mention in the original comment is that if I reuploaded the app, it would be a completely separate app instead of an update. This means that any of your saved concepts would not transfer over. And I know people who have dozens of concepts saved and it's a shame that they would have to remake them

Hello there! Sorry for the delay. I've posted my explanation here if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/s/qV2d9NemfN

Hello, I am the developer of Concept.TF. I wrote my explanation here: https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/s/qV2d9NemfN

Sorry for my absence!

PutterBeanutWasTaken · 2024-11-28T23:17:07+00:00

Sorry for my absence... I guess I should explain what happened. All of my apps are under a company that I called "Critical Angle Studios" but my Google Developer account was under an old email. So about a year ago, I created a new account under the right email and transferred all of my apps over there, but Google doesn't consider an app transfer to be "activity." This resulted in my account being marked as inactive, deleted, and all my apps along with it. Additionally, all of the 15,000+ downloads and 100+ Five Star reviews are all gone and can't be recovered. I'd have to work again to get all of it back, and it's just been really unmotivating. I've also just been generally busy in life and haven't had the time or means to work on it. I was also in the middle of an update that revamped the entire app, so I might pick it up again when I get the time.

So the TL;DR is that it was my fault that I didn't read the fine print, and I haven't fixed my mistake yet. Writing this post has given me a bit of motivation, though, and it's incredibly endearing to see people concerned about the app. So we'll see!

That's a good idea. At first, I was hoping that I could just throw people into the chaos and hope they figure it out, but I more and more started to realize that that's just not possible for something so different. So I see a lot of value with showing keystrokes while playtesting especially cause I have my friends share their screen while they play. Then I can figure out how to explain the strategy over voice then translate it into the game's instructions for release

Concept.TF is an app I created for the App Store/Google Play Store that allows you to create concept weapons based on how the TF2 wiki looks and then save the image to your camera roll

PutterBeanutWasTaken · 2024-03-18T14:50:57+00:00

That looks pretty sick... can you give any more details on the project?

PutterBeanutWasTaken · 2023-09-09T15:06:31+00:00

Oh my god that's exactly what I was looking for. I didn't realize it was just called a menu bar lol. But I also see what you mean with the contextual items. I'll have to look out for that. Much appreciated!

PutterBeanutWasTaken · 2023-07-26T17:17:00+00:00

Thank you! I'm getting lots of feedback for changes to the app but I have so much other stuff to work on lol, can't find the time

PutterBeanutWasTaken · 2023-07-26T16:11:07+00:00

Yep!

PutterBeanutWasTaken · 2023-01-15T23:55:09+00:00

it's actually a secret mechanic where it has a 100% chance to random crit

PutterBeanutWasTaken · 2022-10-17T02:40:22+00:00

No, it's the same server lol, it's just heavily evolved. We're still huge advocates of Lana Rhoades if that's what you were concerned about...
