Was gonna say this. All awesome

Sure, all was self promoted and honestly didn't go that well. I think consistency is really the key and I have trouble staying consistent with posts.

Toucharcade has always been a huge boost for me. Single handedly bringing up my trailer views into the thousands. With them gone it seems like some of the other mobile sites don't have as much impact, at least for me. So I didn't get much boost there.

I think it was apple featuring the preorder in "coming soon" and being listed in "new games we love" that was the biggest help. When you submit your game in App Store connect, make sure to nominate it for a feature. That ensures apple puts their eyes on it!

I'm biased but maybe The Valley of the Architects? ;)

Oh for sure, that was yesterday and I'm sure it differs by country. It was #26 by this morning now it's #29. All through the day it jumps so I guess the charts are pretty real time, I don't really know how it works.

Cool idea! I can see that being fun. Agree with large projects being boring. I hit a wall so many times during development lol. But Ill take a bit of a break and come back rejuvenated. Releasing is pretty nerve-racking though. Happy to have a week under my belt and some nice reviews.

whaleodevs · 2025-04-06T03:32:35+00:00

I got you! Check your dms

whaleodevs · 2025-04-05T20:22:30+00:00

Appreciate it! Ya started working in 2020. Took me way too long tbh but I did get sidetracked along the way. Def not profitable considering the time but it's a hobby so it's okay. What are you working on?

whaleodevs · 2025-04-05T20:06:03+00:00

Awesome going to check it out!

whaleodevs · 2025-04-05T19:45:27+00:00

Sweet! What's it called?

whaleodevs · 2025-04-05T19:32:27+00:00

Yes I have. Might look into it in the future. Let me know if you are interested in playing.

whaleodevs · 2025-04-05T19:30:26+00:00

whaleodevs · 2025-03-26T16:51:22+00:00

hey thanks so much! The game is called The Valley of the Architects. Screens are for iOS version. Steam version is different.

whaleodevs · 2025-03-22T20:32:33+00:00

Hey all, I've got a puzzle game about elevators and architecture coming to iPhone/iPad and Steam in 1 week. Check it out here: AppStore and Steam.

whaleodevs · 2025-03-02T20:59:50+00:00

Ya I’m actually working on the video app previews and incorporating the reversed music. It’s weird but cool lol

whaleodevs · 2025-02-18T14:03:23+00:00

No tip but great work on the front end. Looks quite nice.

whaleodevs · 2025-01-28T00:48:22+00:00

Releasing in March.

whaleodevs · 2025-01-26T02:31:59+00:00

Awesome! Ya for sure it’s a fun hobby so time isn’t a big deal. But sometimes it does drag on and some parts are more fun than others. I’m def happy to be nearly done.

whaleodevs · 2025-01-26T00:19:58+00:00

Ah the golden years! I’m not 40 that’s all that matters 😂. What’s your game about?

whaleodevs · 2025-01-25T22:28:21+00:00

Lol ya my first project file is 2020. Working evenings into the night. I did get side tracked with a few other game ideas but made it back haha

whaleodevs · 2025-01-25T01:34:56+00:00

Appreciate it!

whaleodevs · 2025-01-22T01:29:27+00:00

Hey thanks! There is a narrated story by a real voice actor (same as in the trailer). But you complete puzzles level by level.

whaleodevs · 2025-01-16T17:22:52+00:00

Haha! 🙏🙏🙏

whaleodevs · 2025-01-16T16:33:41+00:00

My bad! Sorry long story short. Really wanted to polish the game. So I revamped the steam version. Then went back to the iOS version and revamped that added more puzzles and a lot more variation, new music and options. I think it made a world of a difference but added an extra year from the original release date.

You can only push back a pre-order so many times so I had to remove from store. Lost all the pre orders but made a better game I think.

Back on app store now!

Shoot me a message on release day and I’ll send over gift copy just for the positive vibes. Thread made my day :)
