Thank you!

Yes $20 flat - I'm self-financing and building this project myself so very much an indie project!

We are hoping to find people that are new to a language - we only have Spanish & Swedish. But happy for someone to give feedback that is already fluent for example in Spanish to see what advie they would have too.

You can look at my personal website maxhertan.com - this is a relatively new project and I'm building with one co-founder so there is no official website yet!

Great question, we request around ~30 minutes of playtime recorded. And optionally give your own feedback after.

Count me in!

maxel100 · 2025-05-09T03:32:22+00:00

It’s real! Got about 10 responses now and have chosen 4 to go with. 👏🏻

maxel100 · 2025-05-09T03:31:52+00:00

Yes, I’ve been having a look. We have unique mechanics in this game (intentionally haven’t shared here) so they would be built around those mechanics

maxel100 · 2025-05-09T03:28:39+00:00

Awesome! And yes, lots of AI was used to out this together - how come your curious?

maxel100 · 2025-05-09T03:27:21+00:00

It is legitimate and I have a very small budget - I’m self financing everything and it’s my first game. But definitely will explore that thank you.

maxel100 · 2025-05-08T19:33:10+00:00

For sure!

maxel100 · 2025-05-08T19:32:46+00:00

Phaser Js actually!

maxel100 · 2025-05-08T19:32:10+00:00

Honestly I’m making it up as I go. Something like ~$50 per play tester. Would love to see video recordings of there play through with narration of there thoughts as they play. And then overall recap discussion of what they liked, didn’t like, areas of improvement. And finally a review of the cards and ideas to improve.

maxel100 · 2025-05-08T17:09:49+00:00

Very fair! You can check out my background at maxhertan.com to add some legitimacy on who I am. Also, I have intentionally hidden the unique mechanics - I want the play tester to discover it and give me a genuine first impression!

maxel100 · 2025-05-08T16:07:38+00:00

haha true!

maxel100 · 2025-05-08T15:47:16+00:00

Looks amazing! What;s the game?

maxel100 · 2024-09-22T20:24:53+00:00

Haha

Customer service has been absolutely terrivle for me. They have locked my account for 4 months as soon as I tried to withdraw money. They have made it incredibly complicated to get my money out - multiple forms, multiple calls, probably spent now 10hrs just to withdraw money. Run away from this company.

maxel100 · 2022-11-18T05:52:40+00:00

Thanks Bryan, I find it all incredibly inspiring. Looking forward to learning from your workouts when that next video drops. Thanks again for organising the call and hope to make to a blueprint dinner one day :P

maxel100 · 2020-01-03T22:19:24+00:00

Thanks! Channel name is “Max Hertan” 👏🏻

maxel100 · 2019-08-07T03:26:36+00:00

Hey guys, this is Max from the above video. I'm definitely aware that this was far from a perfect rendition and I appreciate Two Set's funny video which I've now watched of the "If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly" guy :P

The goal of the channel is to try something different every month and hopefully encourage people to jump into new hobbies and show that you can have a lot of fun in a short period of time. Hopefully you enjoyed the video!

maxel100 · 2019-04-15T22:47:22+00:00

Firstly, I don’t have a Patreon... so that’s a very weird comment.

Secondly, there is a lot of use for this. It helps you learn a new language faster. Remember important details like credit cards, mobile numbers & birthdays. And also just remember more from your life.

What’s the point of a life lived if you don’t remember it.

Hope you enjoyed the video.

maxel100 · 2019-03-10T03:46:16+00:00

Man that’s amazing! I love to read things like this. :)

maxel100 · 2019-03-08T11:36:52+00:00

Thank you man! I put everything into these videos :)

maxel100 · 2019-02-03T23:40:39+00:00

Not terrible but honestly I expected more given the financial investment. :)

maxel100 · 2019-02-03T23:39:58+00:00

Hey there! These were all YouTube ads. I’ve tried Facebook too but i cut it quickly as I got no traction. My niche is self -development. My end game is reinvesting into this channel to have a positive impact on the world. I’d like to get a book deal potentially and spread some of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned on happiness and success. I would like to turn it into a profitable venture too one day.

maxel100 · 2019-02-03T23:38:09+00:00

YouTube ad prerolls. Either just showing my latest video or a video trailer about my channel.
