First off, Welcome to HN! This is really cool, and... what an awesome first post! I'm probably biased, but I love seeing game-related "Show HN" posts! Wishing you all the best! P.S. dang is one of HN's admins/mode

Because I see you attend The Iron Temple, you must also be a worshipper of Brodin. Wheymen. I wasn't aware of any of the references that you used (e.g., "Brodin", "Wheymen") until I looked them up just now. I susp

This is what burnout looks like. I agree. Boys and girls, as you likely know, burnout is real. But, you can manage it. I'll tell you what I do. Here's the secret: Put yourself first. Now, that sounds quite selfish on first-blu

Hi, thanks for asking... At the time, I didn't have any game-specific tutorials for Swift when I started. That's largely because I started with the first Xcode beta (Xcode 6 Beta 1) that was released with Swift support in 2014. It

Thanks for the kind words. You know, looking back, I sometimes think I was a bit insane to go with Swift, mostly because it was so new. I'd almost dread when a new Xcode beta would be released, because Swift was in such a state of flux

I'll chime in... I developed my first game, Rocket Renegade [1], for iOS. Although I think that it was well-received (based on the reviews and emails I've received), it's made under $100 US since launching in January 2015. Bu

I can completely empathize. I have a family, and so it takes even more effort to create the time and find the space to make things happen. I just launched a game into the App Store. The journey was incredible, and filled with joy, sweat, an

Thank you. I've been working with Swift since it was launched in the Xcode 6 betas. It has been challenging. Working through all of the betas and going with Swift was probably an insane choice given that Swift was in such a state of ev

Interesting coincidence... I developed a game [1] in Swift and posted it as a "Show HN" about an hour ago [2]. Initially, I admit that I did have some rough times as I worked through all of the Xcode 6 betas, and that was quite ch
