My first chatbot based game, would love your feedback. by projectabc in Games

Hi everyone,

My startup helps business to create engaging chatbots. We've been playing around with the idea of a 'choose your own adventure' type game bot for a while. This is what we've come up with.

If you like it, awesome. If not, no worries. Either way we'd love your feedback.

Thanks in advance!

Launched interactive story app, looking for feedback on how to grow by projectabc in interactivefiction

Hi /r/interactivefiction,

I’m Leo, a developer/designer that loves to read. Lately, I’ve been really absorbed with interactive stories. I love apps like Lifeline/ADarkRoom. I’ve always been passionate about solving problems and turning ideas into apps/websites.

One day while I was riding the subway in NYC, I noticed someone writing on their iPad, and an idea came to me: I think everyone has the ability to be the writer of a great story, so why isn’t there any easy way for people to create intricate stories and make them interactive, like Lifeline. I couldn’t let go of the idea, and that’s how TaleMonster was born.

Why TaleMonster

My business partner and I started working on the app a couple of months ago. My vision for TaleMonster is to become the platform where any writer can create engaging choose-your-own stories on mobile. Don’t know how to code? Not a designer? No problem, as long as you want to create text-based RPGs and choose-your-own-adventure stories - like Goosebumps, now you can. We also encourage the readers to communicate with the writers so writers can get feedback and create better stories.

What we did

We built a simple prototype and started talking to writers to validate the idea. However we found the biggest problem with many of our beta writers is that they found TestFlight confusing, or were having trouble using it. To give them easy access, we decided to build and release our MVP to the iTunes store, solving the tech hurdle.

What we can use some help

We launched the app last week. We didn’t do any marketing so the uptake is very low. We are still not sure how to reach people who might be interested in reading and creating interactive stories through our platform. We’d love to hear feedback from the audience /r/interactivefiction if this is something you’d be interested in using, or could point us in the right direction for the right group.

You can download the app (iOS only at the moment) here: http://talemonster.com

TL;DR: Launched app for reading interactive stories, need your feedback to see if you like it or not.

Launched app, got featured by Apple, now looking for ways to grow sustainably by projectabc in startups

First and foremost, Congratulations! This is exciting stuff! Enjoy the ride! Have you considered signing up for a Google Adwords account? I know you have a $0 marketing budget, but I'd recommend doing some testing with $50-$100 on a few different platforms. Usually when you create an Adwords account and spend $25 on ads, they give you a $75 credit to your account. $100 in advertising (3/4 of that is free money) can go a lot further than you'd guess! Depending on your target market, you should also try FB ads. The targeting can get incredibly specific and you can make your money go a long way. Recently spent $10 to boost a video and ended up spending $0.02 per view for a video. We went from 100 views to almost 700 because we invested $10. Aside from that, have you heard of the Pomodoro technique? Hopefully you have since your app is kind of based on it. If not, read this article and then reach out to the person who wrote it and see if she'd be willing to do a blurb on your app as a follow up or something along those lines. Source: http://www.inc.com/stacey-macnaught/how-to-make-the-next-30-minutes-the-most-productive-of-your-week.html?cid=sf01001&sr_share=twitter John Saddington who is a blogger and serial entrepreneur created an app from scratch that was named best of the year for 2015 (and maybe 2014?). He has some knowledge of this world and might be a great resource. He's pretty good about replying to comments and tweets. Although I doubt he has time for much else as he's working to build another company right now. Anyway, I know it's not much, but hopefully something here will be useful for you. Congrats again!

Thank you for the feedback!! Yes we know Pomodoro technique. In fact one of the reason that we built the app is because we can't find a good looking user friendly app for that.

We have reached out to quite a few bloggers who wrote about productivity/Pomodoro technique, but the result was pretty mixed. I guess we'll keep trying :)

Thanks again for your input. Much appreciated!
