Hello TIGers
I'd like to talk a bit about what I've been working on lately but before doing so I would like to talk about Hotline Miami.
When Hotline Miami was released I really wanted to play it but I only had a Mac, no WinPC. I knew that a Mac version was announced and being developed but I didn't know when it would be released. So I ended up having to check Steam every few weeks because I was really unsure there will be no news about the release of the mac version. This drove me made because this is something I always had to keep in mind *check Hotline Miami on steam*
The solution nowadays is simply to ask users to follow twitter or facebook or register on a mailing list but if I don't want to do that I will just miss great games. It's like I'm stuck between Fear of Missing Out and Information Overload.
Recently I thought I should really seat and work on a website to try to solve this problem.
And here is it:
http://whenitsd.oneThe idea is pretty simple:
- You subscribe to a project
- You receive an e-mail when it's done
I've made a quick tour video to actually show how the website works.
This is a pretty simply and straightforward idea but I really to make it as polish and useful as possible.
So for example, one focus was to be up and running for a subscriber or a project creator as fast as possible. So it literally take just few seconds to register a project.
This is the first time I talk about it outside a circle of friends which mean no one is really using it at the moment and this is still in alpha so stuff will change but I really really want to have your feedback. So if you think it might be useful to you, use it and tell me what you think.
