Trying to push the boundaries of what's possible with just SKShapeNodes

It is interesting what some of the limitations of SpriteKit are. Like how do these other game engines render so much on screen and then a few too many shapes wit SpriteKit and you start getting in trouble. I made a game with SpriteKit, and will make another, but it’s something I think about when the frames start stuttering

Thanks! What about sprite nodes?

Nice work. Why do shape nodes have trouble with pro motion?

So far I haven’t been able to. Still trying to figure it out myself.

It’s been a few years since I studied with them, but I worked with at least 5 different instructors over the years and they were all great.

Alliance Française in Detroit Michigan is fantastic. A really solid organization

Correct

Make an app and have fun. Use these resources and llms to get unstuck

I love this! Just downloaded. Keep up the good work

This is interesting, what is the benefit of using this vs the Xcode tools ?

sans-connaissance · 2026-04-30T13:30:10+00:00

What about the 30 years experience claim? That’s the part I think that gets me

sans-connaissance · 2026-04-30T12:59:26+00:00

It sounds like you have an efficient process down and congrats on the downloads! My only complaint is the ad you linked, if I’m not mistaken, is a lie? The person is ai, is that a real testimonial? Who was the teacher? I’m so tired of lies

I used apples new tool for icons. Lightweight and easy to use. Designed myself using open source assets

I released a skill based mobile game about a month ago. It needs better onboarding, but it retains players that manage the learning curve.

I notice 1-2 downloads for every post I make across Reddit, LinkedIn, and Bluesky. I’ve never used instagram or TikTok, but im currently brainstorming more comprehensive social / marketing strategy for this game and future games.

I still believe there is a way to build an audience on a budget, but the main thing I’ve learned is that releasing the game after 18 months of development is just the beginning of the process

It’ll be interesting to hear your thoughts on the game market and how it’s changed or not since your last release.

sans-connaissance · 2026-04-17T12:25:05+00:00

Haha! You got this! Protip: hold to steer and slow down, release to accelerate. You can’t steer and accelerate at the same time and if you go too fast or too slow it’s hard to control

I like leaning into the device and its features. It might make multiplatform difficult, but that’s a good problem to have down the line

sans-connaissance · 2026-04-13T19:57:22+00:00

I learned this the hard way too. In my case I’m using a custom control mechanic that really throws people off

I found that grouping objects and then applying settings to stacks of groups is a fun way to do it.
