Received some feedback that events are quite limited… So here are some updates!

Feature 1: Shared Events

Some events, such as attending an overseas conference, could be an event that multiple people are attending. Hence, instead of creating one event per persona, it makes more sense to allow user to add multiple persona for events.

Feature 2: Multi Day Events

Following the overseas conference idea, events can be more than one day. That was something I overlooked prior and have added it in this version.

Overview

I started working as a team lead and realized that there were so many things going on that I had to keep track of. Being the goldfish, I couldn’t remember alot of things… One particular thing that was important for me as the team lead was the status of my team members.

My Results?

The results are out! Overall, my game ranked 16 out of 103 entries. Out of all my game jams so far, it seems that I have better reviews in terms of game play, which makes me motivated to continue this game development. The gameplay score was around 3.6 which is probably due to the poor execution in game feel, especially in the lack of target indicators / mini map which led to players finding it hard to navigate the game.

Announcements

Took a short break from game development to work on something different — a simple SaaS product!

I’m excited to share that Rough Track is now live! 🎉

Over the past two months, I’ve been prototyping a lightweight web app for creating Now–Next–Later roadmaps — a straightforward way to keep my team and stakeholders aligned.

My Results?

The results for my game jam submission were pretty average overall. Since my main focus has always been on making games that are fun to play, I never expected audio or artwork to be my strong suits — and I knew going in that those categories would likely score lower.

Looking specifically at the Enjoyment category, my game ranked 2992 out of 9651 entries. Not exactly a top-tier placement, but definitely far from the bottom.

Overview

This is my second attempt at GMTK game jam.

The first game I ever made “I am Bullet” was also part of GMTK challenge.

This time around, I managed to complete about 80% of what I originally envisioned — 4 days is still a short window, and there are definitely bugs and incomplete features in the submission. That said, it was a great learning experience! I’ve become more confident in development and picked up some new techniques, especially around working with 3D objects.

Note: This is my personal reference for setting up the product page on the Apple App Store.

You don’t need to create a new app version just to update your screenshots — doing so would require a new build number. Instead, Apple provides Custom Product Pages, which let you customize your product page without submitting a new build.

Creating Screenshots / App Previews

The App Store is quite strict about screenshot and video dimensions. Here are some ways to generate them correctly:

After two months of radio silence — and countless hours spent turning a game jam idea into reality — I’m excited to announce that Blob Bridge is now live on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store!

I definitely had more ideas and features I wanted to add — but those will have to wait for future updates. After all, it’s important to make sure the core concept works before diving in too deep!

Overview

As much as we love making games, we still need to sustain ourselves. That’s why monetization is a crucial part of our development process — it allows us to keep creating while making our games accessible to players.

For mobile games, we’re currently experimenting with a freemium model, combining advertisements (Ads) and in-app purchases (IAPs) as our primary monetization strategies.

Here’s a late update about my game submission for Gamedev.js Game Jam 2025! Before we begin, the game is available on Itch.io, check it out! PS: Please remember to read the description for the controls!

Game Jam Theme - Balance

This year’s theme for the game jame was “Balance”. Generally, my purpose for joining game jam is to test some of gameplay mechanics ideas. This would give me a rough idea of whether it is worth continuing developing on the game. For this year’s theme, some of the ideas I had were…
