I'm making a game alone and it's hard (but also great)

Somebody has been a very busy boy!!!

:pbjtime:

A couple of spelling mistakes


The “status” page is not intuitive to escape, maybe a BACK button or similar


All in all a great little “game” , I can still improve my score, and know I can never get 100% but I’m happy with that.


ACHIEVEMENTS - LIFE is almost a sit down and do it once then forget about it

Have you considered:

Adults only?

Kids only?

etc.

You could also shrink to topics or occupations.

Coding

Write a …

Learn a new language and code a …

Tell people how HTML5 is superior to…

etc.

I think this will expand your uptake audience significantly.

Although, looking at your title

ACHIEVEMENTS - LIFE

I think you actually have, and my guess is, these will be coming soon ™

ACHIEVEMENTS - ADULTS ONLY :underage:

Thanks! I’ve been hunting them down!

Indeed I might add an X button

You read me like a book, in fact, the sex/adult one is pretty much written. There’s a vehicle one (ride all types) coming and I was planning on a parenting one (Achievements - My Baby or something).

The idea is that I coded the unity tools to produce this type of app and now all I do is fill in the texts. Even the menus fill in “procedurally”.

XD Coding is interesting. I never considered making them this specific… :thinking:

Anyway thanks for trying it out! Also did you ever get ads (banner or full on video)? Because I’m having issues with mediation and stuff

ads yes, in video, maybe every 5ish selections

I have the videos set to every 10 taps on achievements. I was planning on just having a banner ad on the bottom and that’s it but I found out there’s basically so much demand and so little offer in banner ads that they pretty much are never available… So I had to resort to the videos which I don’t like too much

Actually yeah, that sounds more like it, 5 would be far too many

Hehehe, done!

I’m taking suggestions for more achievements to add :wink:

And this one is done too:

I’ve been writing achievements every evening for a week! :sweat_smile: Can’t wait to see everyone’s score!
Also as a side note, the marketing for these Achievement apps I’m basing on people talking about them because they don’t really lend themselves to advertisement so… you know… tell a friend :grin:

77% on the adult edition - hell, I don’t wanna start smoking (or online dating^^)! :wink:
63,7 % on the basic edition, I’m blocked a bit because I’m not wanting to have kids :smile:
For basic, I’d obviously like to have a bit more differentiation in the field of bodymods - having a “tattoo or piercing” is far too easy :wink:

On the adult edition, I stumbled across a spelling mistake…

For “Kill Bill”, it says “You or your partner were beeding during intercourse” - bleeding or breeding? :astonished: :smile:

And I’d like to be able to zoom out, plus the usual exit button on my phone doesn’t seem to work - at least it doesn’t close the app.

Other than that, really cool things for gamifying life :wink:

Will do, let me know what you think the main achievements are. I personally only have implants :robot:

Bleeding. Thanks I will fix that in the next update :wink: You clearly haven’t seen Kill Bill , you should !

Will add the back button to close but probably not the zoom out. I want to keep the user exploring around as much as possible, capitalise on the “did I miss something?” paranoia :sweat_smile:

Thanks! I plan on making more of these as they don’t take too much time. Although my next idea was a parenting one so you might not be interested :man_shrugging: let me know I you have theme suggestions !

Haha - I love Kill Bill (like most Tarantino movies), and I’m into bloodplay as well… I was just intentionally misunderstanding it.

If you want to make the 100% reachable for people, I’d say piercings and tattoos - if you want to make it more specific (and a lot harder), you could add subdermal implants, scars, split or removed body parts, suspension, plastic surgery… :smile:
Or maybe just piercings / tattoos / other bodymods?

Okay, this one worked for me! :smile:

I was a bit sceptical about the “have sex with someone much younger than you” as well - there are people who might misunderstand that a bit, especially if the app is used by people <30…
Same with the achievements about having sex with strangers or (relatively) many people - maybe just add the word “safe” :wink: . At least in Germany, STIs are increasing… damn, now I sound like my own granny…

Damn!
Am quite late for this bandwagon!

First of all, congrats!! Doing what you love instead of a meaningless job might be hard, but it’s well fulfilling!! and sure demands courage!!

Now to what you asked for:

On improvements suggestions for the “achievements” series…

  • Text is too big. this shouldn’t be an issue in itself, but most of the achievements end up with cropped text for me. To the point where some achievements seem to miss a key word (easy enough to assume given the theme on most cases). Good example is “Who shot first”, which has the banner ad on top of the sentence coming after “Last at”… Banner! :sweat_smile:
    I can still see the top few pixels of the words there, and assume they say “least an hour”, but that took effort! (to read, I mean :smirk: :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:)
    Maybe add a way to scroll it? or auto scale down the font size?
    I even tried making the system font-size request to be smaller, but the app is ignoring that.

  • Banner add on the achievement screen is always on top of the text.

  • it’s not intuitive that you need to press and hold to register the achievement… maybe make a “progress bar” style border start to fill up when you press it…?

  • Some achievements are too open to interpretation. “Dedicated Fan” for example… Would a 100K followers pornstar class as famous? and a 10K that’s very recognized on it’s niche? or are we talking about worldwide fame? what about “nailed the producer of these 5 world famous bands”? here I’m mostly curious for your thought process (similar to you talking about wanting to get people navigating everything once more)

96.9% :sweat_smile:

I have no interest in smoking…
And not a fan of strip clubs…

random achievements for the adult edition, just of the top of my head
  • Travel at least 200 miles just for a hookup
  • Be scared by something your partner did or said during sex
  • use electrical stimulation
  • be blindfolded (you already have gags and ropes)
  • Something Armpit fetishy
  • Something foot fetishy
  • Something with a Furry
  • Something with Squirting/similar
  • Have sex during a truth or dare game
  • Have sex because of “Never have I ever”
  • Get or give Blue balls
  • Dry humping
  • have sex in the presence of a clothed audience
  • Edging
  • Have a complete stranger recognise you from someone else’s raccount of your sex life
  • Be caught in the act
  • Something Food Fetishy
  • Attend a sex convention
  • Be sought after for sexual advice
  • Have sex at a workplace, yours or your partner’s (not WFH)
  • Lose a sex toy in yours or your partner’s bum.
  • Accidentally ripping out a piece of clothing while undressing
  • Something Biting fetish
  • Participate in Strip Poker or similar
  • Skinny dipping

I’m intentionally leaving out any ideas which might be misinterpreted and cause people to end up in bad/risky/unconsented situations. I hope! :sweat_smile:

Probably this but also plastic surgery is a common one I didn’t think of

You’re right. I will re-word these to clarify :ok_hand:

Huh? Do you know your screen resolution by any chance? I’ll make the text scale

There’s supposed to be a little explanation when you first open the app but the bar is a good idea. I might make the achievement bubble inflate.

So the reason for that is I wanted as many people to be able to relate and get a cool score. It wouldn’t be cool if you had done one of these but it didn’t count because of a small technicality. Keeping them vague allows you to bend the rules to your advantage a bit and indirectly boost your ego. For example, in the vehicles ones I sometimes don’t specify if you have to be driving or just get in the vehicle because some of them are pretty rare and not having the achievement because you’re not a helicopter pilot kinda sucks for 99% of the users.
For the adult stuff I also accounted for the fact that people have different levels of tolerance for what is and isn’t acceptable so vague is safe (ie. the Professional Job depends a lot on your local laws and regulations same for all that involves weed or alcohol)

Wow I’ll have to make a Eyeux special easter egg at some point

Nice! Thank you so much!

Lucky I did my Adults one before @Eyeux added his list, or my percentage would drop significantly.
I could probably only claim 4 of those new ones

Ironically I have the lowest scores :joy: I seem to skip all the conventional stuff like driving a car or skiing

well… my current phone is a shitty chinese brand no one ever heard of (lucky who hasn’t. it’s terrible): Oakitel.
Even on their own specs I find a different value every time.
Should be either 720x1600
or… 1080 x 2460

There’s a menu to set it on the phone, but that menu doesn’t work, so I can’t see the value! :sweat_smile:

Oh… I did not see that!

Bubbles growing might be a good one!

:sweat_smile:
My life is a mess! :rofl: :expressionless: :sob:

Worse part is… I can’t even "blame my teenager years! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Now to the important stuff:
Thought of another update you can do, for all your achievement apps:

Share Button!

You click a button, it opens up your messaging apps to choose from, then it sends an image generated from your results.

Similar to the tiktok share button.

Or you can go next level and give each user a link to a webpage which they can share with their friends. Said webpage would show their achievements done in the app.
Could even add in a “comment” field on each achievement for the user and/or friends to add some details.

This last option would require a dedicated server, or a paid serverless architecture. But either of these options might be enough to keep the users engaged with the app for longer.

Indeed… adding a lot more of more specific ones does make it harder to get a higher score. Which might go against @Az_F 's concept.

Just tossed in some stuff anyway! :sweat_smile:
Which makes me think of…

Some more adult achievements
  • flirt with a bartender and get free drinks
  • do it on someone else’s bed
  • do it with a friend’s relative
  • do it quietly so other people won’t wake up
  • Sneak into a sorority/fraternity/similar your partner is on where you’re not allowed
  • Synch it with new year’s fireworks
  • give, or receive, Rimming (a.k.a. cunilingus or, as it’s known in some parts of the world: “the Greek Kiss”. honestly no clue why it is called a greek kiss)
  • have a non-sexual friend you regularly greet with a kiss in the lips
  • perform on a pole/sexy routine show (for 2+ people)
  • Try to repeat a sex-move you read about online
  • call (or be called by) the partner the wrong name, by mistake

Sharing is an option although it impacts the policy docs and some other google forms so it’s gonna take some updates.
A text field on each achievement is doable but I’ll have to think about the layout and esthetics of that
I’m not gonna do anything involving servers and online features just because it’s too much for an over the weekend app :joy: unless they become popular of course

That makes perfect sense!! XD
it’s also expensive to keep a server running.

Was just throwing it out there because sharing is a great reason to A: keep the app longer… and B: word of mouth advertisement

I selected ~20 of your suggestions. Now I need to find icons for all of them.

By the way for those who played the early Tiny Space Industries versions or want to play the final thing:
The big overhaul is pretty much done and I’m in the debugging phase. But before publicly releasing I need ads to promote it so if you know someone who has marketing and editing experience please let me know!
