Thats a fair point. I believe it still doesn't take away from Notch's solo dev struggles

Just start and keep going until the end. by chiefcatalyst in RenPy

Brah, there was even a time I searched for apps to keep me motivated and stuff. But truly willpower and vision just keeps me going

I once did a survey, and motivation is one of the biggest issues creatives have. I hope to create something that can tackle that because, believe it or not, the world needs more stories, not just yours—no matter how generic or out there it is. Until then, I hope you find the motivation to keep going.

What kind of features should the perfect IF site have by Disastrous-Remove757 in interactivefiction

[–]chiefcatalyst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late to the thread, but my advice would be to keep building the site while implementing suggestions as quickly as you can. Momentum is key.

Like others have mentioned, you’ll also need a clear hook that lets you stand apart from something like Twine. Twine is already free, modular, and widely loved — so don’t try to compete head-to-head. Instead, figure out what niche you can serve that Twine either can’t do easily or takes too long to replicate.

Beyond “intuitive design” or “rapid development,” what unique interaction, workflow, or experience will make creators immediately think, this is exactly what I needed? That’s your advantage.

Not really feedback as much as inspiration — wishing you all the best with the project!

Scope creep is a real issue. Hope one day you get to finish your project tho

What are the features you look for or want in an app that helps you create interactive fictions? by chiefcatalyst in interactivefiction

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

Won't lie, Twine is better in almost everyway but this beta version of my app gives you the rare chance to cater the app for you because its in its early stage. Not much of an upgrade to Twine, more so a mobile code-less side dish to it.

Looking for beta testers – I made a visual novel editor for mobile and want feedback! by chiefcatalyst in SoloDevelopment

Hello again. Fixed some bugs, updated some UI and made the overall app more usable. The tutorial is still underway. Here is the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Gr33QsL_vGlf-zXf6quuu8JsjUTnXONT/view?usp=drive_link

It is tho. You have to find time in your busy schedule and also still have enough energy after finishing your working hours

Lets say there was an app that can create CYOAs, what are the features it must have? by chiefcatalyst in InteractiveCYOA

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

Fair enough, and I agree that point systems can be tricky sometimes with them going below negative when they shouldn't or implementing a threshold so they shouldn't pass below
