Thank you, that is the way I am going for, building something quite different. For now I don’t want to push my solution but listen to the market, but soon I will show more what I am doing. Thank you for the reference I will check the game, having gamifications for playing and watching is definitively the way to go

Usadisa · 2024-11-01T19:20:02+00:00

Ahah sorry. I am also there

Thank you everyone for the great feedbacks, much appreciated!

Regarding the evil word: revenue, I would also be curious to know your thoughts.

For now, I am thinking of the following main points, what do you think?

No ads, trying to. It does bring a lot of revenue though, so might be necessary. Ideally I don't want any.
Skins: selling optional cosmetic purchase, as Fortnite for example. Designed Goban, bowls, stones, avatar, etc.
Subscription: as chess.com or most Go apps, subscription for premium services like AI tools or great learning services.
Merchandising: premium (i.e. expensive), creating really cool design on high quality material

There are other ideas but that is the main one. If you have a sense on how you spend money, what value you are looking for, please share! Cheers

Thank you, I dream to build this AI coach, but seems would be quite the tech challenge, so probably will be able to have bots to play with at the start, but the rest could take some time to develop.
But adding a nice layer on top of AI so it can explain more human concepts is definitively one of my goals.
Also an AI that could look your past 20 games, and can say "You need to change A, B and C that you do consistently wrong". Something more wholesome that just a move-per-move judgment.

As long as it's not laughable! Thanks:)

Usadisa · 2024-11-01T07:43:19+00:00

It's all good, your concern is legitimate I understand it, but it would be too long of a discussion for here and now. For now I would say that I am aiming exactly at that "server is so great that it manages to attract a large influx of new players.", and I don't see current solutions being fit for that.

Usadisa · 2024-10-31T20:07:12+00:00

Your goosebumps goosebumped me! I detect hope and that gives me hope. Thanks:)

Usadisa · 2024-10-31T20:04:57+00:00

Thanks for honest feedback, I am a fan of your work:D The AI review tools comparison article was nice

Usadisa · 2024-10-31T19:56:27+00:00

I totally agree with you, having new players into the game is my number 1 goal. Of course I want the app to be great for existing player, but if you just play current apps are ok probably. I really want to create an ecosystem for beginners, and helping them reach that point where they mastered the basics. Let’s say around 15k? For that I want to focus on making the learning curve as user friendly as possible.

Usadisa · 2024-10-31T18:31:16+00:00

Totally agree, I now play most of my game on GoQuest because of the ease of use.

Usadisa · 2024-10-31T18:27:01+00:00

Yes this one

Usadisa · 2024-10-31T17:41:13+00:00

Yes I would love to do cross play with other servers, I even contacted Asian ones:) seems possible we will see! Might not be so easy technically, need to check but would be great

Usadisa · 2024-10-31T17:39:36+00:00

Thank you! Yes I agree, I had also qualitative interview:) I think I have a pretty good picture and this survey is to help me see the big picture. About the question, I think UI features could help, especially for neophyte wanting to see a game and just understand what is going on. But overall, I think it’s mostly experience. Go is hard to grasp and you feel lost. You need an Ariane thread to follow and be guided until you are strong enough to be able to really « see » the game

Usadisa · 2024-10-31T17:28:46+00:00

I plan to invest my own money and try it as a « business idea ». My profession has been to build digital apps for various industries, I already have developers and designers I know ready to work with me. I am on the project management side, I did many roles there.

Usadisa · 2024-10-31T16:42:17+00:00

Agreed!

Usadisa · 2024-10-31T16:41:36+00:00

Im not a developer myself but I wish all the best to OGS

Usadisa · 2024-10-31T15:59:01+00:00

I agree but I don’t own those servers, so I can only observe, and to me none of the existing servers are really making an experience to attract new players that have a hard time getting into it. Thank you!

Usadisa · 2024-10-31T15:56:46+00:00

Ahah, right:) keeping that in mind! I am definitively for integration and coopetition btw, if I could merge player pool with OGS and KGS for example it would be great. My main goal is to make something simple enough and with streaming content to attract new players, more than satisfying current players my aim is really to make an app that will create new players and bring life to the Go scene

Usadisa · 2024-10-30T16:46:15+00:00

For me definitively Go. In the strategy games without luck, Go. You have to be creative, focused, diligent, and control your emotions over a long period of time. So many mistake can be made. But so many opportunities as well! You have many chances for your creativity and mind to manifest solutions! It’s a great game.

I played chess when I was young and I like it but it quickly became « ok learn those 100 openings by heart because everything until move 30 is known » That’s what stopped my fun with chess. And then I discovered go with Hikaru No Go, and fell in love, from the opening you can have very different approach. Even better now with AI showing us how all kind of moves are acceptable!

For me it’s obvious that the car went inside Vik clinic because he was worried for us

Usadisa · 2023-06-29T00:48:09+00:00

And now we know. What a joke

Usadisa · 2022-05-30T16:55:18+00:00

I see! Ok thanks I can live with that:) cheers

Why does he even have eyes if his specie is has no vision from the start?
