un:safe

Launched the product finally! 🙌 After the first weekend I had only 17 sales, which for sure is not good enough. But I need to learn more about how to make more of a "splash" online. Possibly some paid promotion or similar. Soon I will experiment with other monetization tactics as well. 💰

While in pre-order, and on the first day i saw my first pre-sale! 🙌

Sure, its only $1.69 after apple takes away their "take" and who knows how much i will lose in transfers once i start moving the moneys to my account, but you gotta start somewhere, and i am grateful to that 1 person for starting this whole thing 🙌

I posted the app on the AppStore as a pre order.

I kinda thought, i need some time to contact journalists and create some "hype" around the app hopefully.

I am not too good at this AT ALL, but you cannot get better unless you give it a go! So, sent some emails, posted a bit on Twitter, and plan to do a countdown before the release which is scheduled for 5th of November 🙌 🚀

Seeing how Apple always announces their products with a nice promo video, I thought, "Why not me as well?!"

I found an AWESOMe software called "Rotato" to help me with this.

It is SO easy to get started, and I really had a blast making the video. 👌

Decided to make a nice website and make a press kit ready for and IF some journalists decide to check out the game.

I saw that most "popular" apps have this, and even though I am not sure how BIG un:safe can get, it's better to be ready than to fail to deliver when it matters!

Decided to post the app on testflight and see what others think of it. I posted the app on Twitter and on app.airport.community.

I very quickly gained about 200 testers! It was amazing to see so many people installed the app and played it!

Then it was time to wait for the bugs to start pouring in 😂

spoiler alert, there weren't too many of them 🙌

Made it to the first "playable" variant of the game. I still have loads of ideas on where this could go, but for the first time in my "idea making" process, I decided to really go for the MVP.

I chose the bare essentials this game should have and only applied those.
You open the app, you listen/feel for the main haptic and when you find it, you progress. That. Is. It.

While playing with the wives new Apple watch, I noticed how awesome it is to control the crown. It provided a nice haptic feedback and kinda seemed like magic.

Haptics especially reminded me of the safe cracking "gag" in movies, and so, idea was born!
