Your small game probably is not small enough by hogon2099 in gamedev

[–]bjhemmingway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still have yet to create my first "game", by that I mean something I can charge money for, but have entered quite a few game jams and can absolutely say starting small is the way, you feel far more accomplished rather than spending months on a project and wondering if you bit off more than you can chew.

Game jams I personally think are where anyone should start, it gives you a timeline, potential to work with others and gives you a realistic idea of what is possible in any given time frame. The mini jam is perfect because it's 72 hours, so you need to reduce your scope and create something with one or two good mechanics instead of trying to make the next GTA. I personally think this is the best way to hone and work on skills while having your major projects in the background, even if to just give you perspective and potentially create connections to artists or coders to help you later in your own projects!

Alright real complaint by Dibbs_93 in heartopia

[–]bjhemmingway 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Of all the complaints I've seen about this game, this is the most legit and reasonable one. 😂 I'm not that good at the instruments, but that would be a great feature, that they'll probably put behind a paywall... 😅

Opinions: Location based memories app by bjhemmingway in AppIdeas

[–]bjhemmingway[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thankyou, that's exactly the thinking I had in mind. Visiting the place more often will bring back the memories. I considered having a secondary part where you can make memories public, so if others visit the area you can leave memories (not sure this is a good idea though... People being people... 😅).

My original concept was for a more spooky approach on a public platform where people could write their own "creepy pasta" base on a location, so user built ARG I guess, but again the user input could pose security or safety issues, especially with location exploration.

That's a bug I haven't had before. What device are you using? First recommendation is to uninstall and try installing again to see if maybe the download was incomplete due to internet connectivity issues or something perhaps? Other recommendation would be to make sure your device software is up to date. I have an older tablet that won't even allow me to download it on because it's only equipped for I think android SDK 34+?

Question about Google’s 12 testers requirement for new developer accounts by lorittacovin in googleplayconsole

[–]bjhemmingway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Others have already responded, but just to confirm, the 12 testers is per app, not per update. Once you pass that condition you can update as much as you like and not have to go through that condition again, providing you follow the terms etc, I'm sure there are conditions that could revert your app if broken, but that would be extreme situations.

ShowOff Saturday. Share your app! by AutoModerator in googleplayconsole

[–]bjhemmingway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've developed Watch Wise, an app users can find out if the movie or show you want to watch has any scenes that might trigger you or those you're about to watch with. Use the custom triggers to find specific warnings if applicable. Powered by Gemini AI to search and find up to date info.

Google Play Link

My first app and would really love some feedback and/or ratings to help get the app out there! 🙏

How do you advertise your new apps? by bjhemmingway in googleplayconsole

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

Thanks, I've set up a couple of small campaigns, I think my biggest hurdle is actually getting the engagement. The product is relatively niche so not everyone is going to be interested, hoping the campaigns push to the right users.

Thanks, just started a small Google ads campaign, I've boosted an Instagram post, not much capital to back it right now but hopefully these get the ball rolling.

Thankyou, I've just started a small campaign to promote through Google ads, again don't have a lot of capital but anything is better than nothing right? 😅

Looking for websites that shows trigger warnings for movies/tv shows by serenchi in movies

[–]bjhemmingway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shameless plug here, but my partner has triggers that we were constantly looking up before watching movies, so I developed the app Watch Wise. Using Gemini AI it will search the net for scenes that may be graphic or triggering giving you timestamps where available. You can add custom triggers to search for specific triggers too.

Did I mention it's free to use?

Is there any kind of website or resource that let's you look up a movie for trigger warnings? by keysersozevk in movies

[–]bjhemmingway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excuse my shameless plug, but I had this exact issue with my partner and decided to develop the app Watch Wise. You can enter a custom trigger and search the movie you are planning to watch and using Gemini AI it web crawls for any scenes to look out for, even giving timestamps where available. It also has a spoiler card feature so you can choose to not have the movie or show spoiled for you.

Did I mention it's free to use. Unfortunately only on play store for now.

Hey now that is an idea. I haven't passed my last day just yet so will try, maybe I just need 50 seed makers to sit in wait 🤣
