If I read the article correctly the first idea was some game, and as probably >95% of indie games it failed. Then a successful chat app (Slack).
Who has done what twice?
- 1986 7y agoAs noted in other comments, Butterfield had a similar failed-game-pivot that turned into Flickr
- pwinnski 7y agoHe has tried twice to create GNE: Game Never-Ending. The first time he gave up, he turned the image-sharing part of the game into Flickr. The second time he gave up, he turned the chat part of the game into Slack. Maybe he should try making GNE again.
- DonHopkins 7y agoGlitch was his attempt at making GNE again. Game Neverending is to Flickr as Glitch is to Slack.
