https://i.redd.it/y47wx4iuadsd1.gif A few yr in the past, I created a every day riddle recreation and posted it on Reddit. The sport gave the impression to be a success, getting tens of 1000’s of performs in a single day. Pondering that I could have stumbled upon the following Wordle, I refined my recreation over the following yr. The plan was easy. I’d polish the sport, get a whole bunch of 1000’s of every day customers, then promote to the New York Occasions for thousands and thousands and trip off into the sundown. Sadly, actuality isn't that straightforward. I used to be capable of get 1000’s of every day gamers, however the pure trajectory was all the time downwards. No one was discovering my recreation organically, and the gamers I had would slowly depart. I heard again from the NYT, and so they weren’t interested by shopping for my recreation. What I discovered is that there’s critical energy in platforms. NYT has the identify recognition and the attain, and can preserve a big viewers even with mediocre or low-effort video games. As an example, Spelling Bee could be programmed as a weekend venture and the every day problem is well mechanically generated. So I assumed – I might create a brand new every day recreation platform, one which options high-quality video games with handcrafted content material from impartial builders. The devs are on the market, however they don't have the attain. And thus I launched Puzpop, a collection of every day phrase/mind video games. For now, PuzPop has 6 video games I constructed. However sooner or later, I intention so as to add new video games from different indie devs that present promise. I’d love to listen to any suggestions on the video games or the platform total. Additionally, in the event you developed a recreation that you simply assume can be addition, please shoot me a DM.
