29th day after quiting my job - calculate Income vs Expense

Okay, so it almost month end, so I can start clearing those bill


lets see

Expense:

Home bill:

$200 for parent
$500 for morgage
$40 for Cable TV
$70 for electricity
$60 for internet
$30 for mobilephone
$70 for insurance
==========
$970 for house bill

Offline Shop bill:

$50 for electricity
$12 for water
$500 for employee
$400 for rental
=============
$962 for offline shop
I owned 20% so is $192.4

food I estimate around $200
Transport I estimate around $100

so total expense for the month is $1462, give or take around $1500

Income:
offline shop: $100
ecommerce: $20
games: $2
youtube: $0.18
blog: $0.05

total around: $122.23

not even 10% of the expense

Blender how to create a character from scratch

So, I got comment saying my character in my game is UGLY..... well of coz, I am noob, not pro, but I will try my best to make my character look better, so I am trying to look for some tutorial to build my character from scratch,

below is one youtube tutorial I found that is very good, around 18 episode, each episode 30 minute

Create new game or improve existing game?

Well, there is always a time when you finished your game, you got 2 choice

1. create new game from scratch
2. improve your existing game

Since my existing game is not really fun yet, probably I will add more gameplay into it, including:

1. Happy indicator: where if you work overtime your happiness level will decrease, maybe if drop to -100 then you will suffer hyper depression and commit suicide

2. During overtime, maybe wife will calling
"honey, will you be home tonight?" [YES], [NO]
then maybe show wife happiness, if wife happiness drop to -100 then maybe
"Your wife leaving you " -30 happiness

3. add weekend?
- I am not sure about this, but probably will

(but on the other thought, when i am working OT and fast forward the speed by 160x, i do not like to be interrupted by those message box popping out and pausing the game)

28 day after quiting my day job

Nothing special today

still looking for idea what to do or what games to code

update
games:
- kongregate(1600 view, revenue $1.16)
-newgrounds(2700 view, revenue $0.45)

Seem like kongregate pay better even though newgrounds have more view

offline shop:
nothing

ecommerce:
nothing




income: 0 (cannot add in the game revenue unless i successfully cashed out)
expense: daily default USD60

27th day after quiting my job

Okay , so today nothing special

update report

games
- submit on kongregate - get 1400 view (0 revenue) (report not yet update)
- submit on newgrounds - get 1700 view ($0.19 CPM, so total is around $0.26)

offline shop
- nothing

ecommerce
- nothing

youtube
- nothing

ebook
- nothing




income 0
expense: daily default USD60

26th day after quit my job

Okay, so total planning is

1. game
- add mute button to the game and reupload to kongregate
- try make an iphone version
- think of new game to write

2. offline shop
- not doing anything

3. ecommerce
- research new product to sell

My First Games after quiting my job "Programmer 9-5 day job"

So after 25 days, I managed to finish my first game

"PROGRAMMER 9-5 day job"

where you have to work your way up from level 1 to level 10, I played it myself it took me 60 minutes but for new people it might take them longer

Here is the link

http://www.kongregate.com/games/fundurian/programmer-9-5-day-job





How I came up with the idea: Well, I notice there is no 9-5 day job simulation games on the market so I just try my luck to build one, seriously, business is more fun than the standard "9-5" day job, LOL

So there you have it, give it a try and let me know what you think

Marketing tactic I will try use
1. Spread my game using blog, this blog LOL
2. using reddit
3. using facebook

I will update the status including how many people actually played my game and what is their comment, so hopefully the experience can get me going further ahead.

25th day after quitting my job - PUBLISH MY FIRST GAME ON KONGREGATE

So today planning is

ecommerce:
- Beautify the product description, add more photo
- I got 2 interested user that asked tons and tons of question, but they refuse to buy due to no trust

programming
- I finish my game and publish it into kongregate, just wait for user to scold me

http://www.kongregate.com/games/fundurian/programmer-9-5-day-job



offline shop: not doing business today


income:0
expense: daily default USD60

24th day after quiting my job

Today update

offline shop: serve 18 customer making USD10.8

ecommerce: sold 1 item via FORUM 1 - made USD10

programming: did not touch today


income : USD20.8
expense: daily default USD60

Thought about quiting job but not able to generate income

Okay, so almost 1 month have passed, and generally I am not successful in several business I tried to get in, but do I regret????? To be honest, a bit, but think of this way, if I would never try in my entire life? All I would do is just do the 9-5job(more like 7am to 9pm job due to traffic jam and stuff) all the way until age 70 when I retired, and I would have never try anything else, so even though I am not successful right now, at least I have tried, and I have gained some experience.......


so??? just continue trying until my last penny, then I will go back find a 9-5 job


summary of experience so far

youtube: learned how to build 3d cartoon, just not skillful enough to generate traffic and like
unity games: learned how to build unity games, just not fast and not skillful enough to finish it
offline shop: learned how to set up everything, just not able to get the permit and license from the local council, also not able to market it to make it profitable
ebay shop: learned how to import stuff from china, just not able to sell anything yet

So people would say I try too many stuff and not focus, yup, you are correct, I am too greedy and try too many stuff end up I am not focus, and seem like will fail in every ventures....But I will keep trying at least for 1 year

23th day after quiting my job - timetracker app rejected again by apple due to PIXELATED

Damn, seem like the only way is to redesign the entire thing if I really want my app out....

JEEZZZZZ


okay, update for the 3 things that i am doing

1. Offline shop
everything is ready but marketing suck, the only thing i do to promote my shop is using groupon and the profit generated by groupon traffic is just enough to cover the rental + electricity + staff salary leaving me ZERO profit

PLAN TO IMPROVE:
What I learned from this is, YOU NEED TO DO MARKETING....but how???? holyshit

today I got served one group of customer in 2 hour so earning is USD46, i owned 20% so is USD9.33

2. Ecommerce
FORUM 1 - 108 view 0 sale (got 1 query from customer but he did not buy)
FORUM 2 - 32 view 0 sale
EBAY CLONE 1 - 10 view 0 sale

PLAN TO IMPROVE:
I guess I will just reduce the price, or beautify the sales letter
- OR, try sell it on the street, damn...

3. Game programming
- APP REJECTED BY APPLE
-- I guess I will have to recode from scratch

Life programmer Game
- not yet finish, just try to finish it

21 day after quit my day job, EBAY stuff arrived

Okay, after few weeks of long wait, the stuff I plan to sell on ebay arrived, of course I bought it from China , no doubt about that, where on earth can you find cheaper stuff right?

So the first thing to do is to post it on 3 forum and 2 ecommerce site and see what happen

result:

forum1: haven post, got 2 competitor
forum2: posted, 0 view, 0 customer
forum3: haven post, need preparation
ebay: haven post, need preparation
ebay clone 1: haven post need prepartion

I only bought 10 item from china, because I dont want the item in bad condition or being scam, so it is normal to order small quatity first, also I am not sure if I am able to sell any, if you would think doing business is easy, it is not , absolutely not

Okay, so the update as below

offline shop: pending license, business is not profitable
ebay stuff: item arrived, start posting ad
games programming: 1 app rejected by apple, another games still in progress
youtube: I did post 17 video but it bring around 1 sen per day if lucky, not many view, you can search for "Bitcoin Cartoon" , that is my channel, at first i thought people would like it, but they dont , so I would have to think of something else

Guess no one will read this "LOSER BLOG" everyone wanna read successful people blog who are able to earn tons and tons of money so that they can learn something from it

below is the programming DEBUG, AND TEST LOG

BIG PROJECT     12500 work 264 hour (15 working day)suggest 50000
MEDIUM PROJECT   2500 work 100 hour (4 working day) suggest 10000
SMALL PROJECT     500 work  10 hour (1 working day)


First days:
after 10 hour of work = 800 work + $800

UPGRADE 50% work speed (left $300)
work = 120 , money = 120 per hour
work = 1200, money = 1200 per day
end of day: $1500 , 2000 work


in 2nd days:

UPGRADE 100% work speed ($1500 - $1000 = $500 left)
work = 160, money = 160 per hour
work = 1600 per day money = 1600 per day
end of day: $2100 , 3600 work

in 3rd days:

UPGRADE 200% work speed ($2100-$2000= $100 left)
work = 240, money = 240 per hour
work = 2400 per day money = 2400 per day
end of day: $2500 , 6000 work

in 4th days:

work = 240, money = 240 per hour
work = 2400 per day money = 2400 per day
end of day: $4900 , 8400 work

UPGRADE MONEY ($0 left)
work = 240, money = 480 per hour
work = 2400 per day money = 4800 per day
end of day: $4800, 10800 work

(ALREADY MAKE 40K REPUTATION) in 5 days
competitor work 8 hour per day
so they work 40 hour per day

40000/40 = 1000

in 6th days:




assume we max out all upgrade
say :

BY DEFAULT 1 HOUR = 0.5*60 + 0.5*60 + 0.3*60 + 0.15 *60 + 0.6*60
                  = 30 + 30 + 18 + 9 + 36
                  = 123 work per hour

max out: 1230 work per hour, 1230 money per hour

max out money 1230 * 8 = $10,000 per hour

one day = 10k work no OT, $80,000 per day

max project day = 220,000 work no OT



total work 250000 , success 1 million, failure 200k
total work 50k, success 170k, failure 34k
total work 10k, success 30k, failure 6k
total work 500, success 1000, failure 200

Unity easiest sort algorithm

So I am using selection sort , the easiest among all, if the item you want to sort is little, let say 10 item, then you can use the below sort, it will loop N x N, so if you have 3 item, it will loop 3x3 = 9, if you have 10 item, it will loop, 10x10 = 100





//ranking say john 80 , peter 70 , you 60, 
//so ranking[0] = 80, ranking[1] = 70 , ranking[2] = 60
//rankingname[0] = John, rankingname[1] = Peter, rankingname[2]= you
var ranking = new int [3];
var rankingtemp:int;

var rankingname = new String[3];
var rankingnametemp: String;

//for for loop
var i : int;
var j : int;
var iMin: int;
//number of people in the ranking
var n: int = 3;

function sortranking()
{

    //selection sort
    
    for (j = 0; j < n-1; j++) 
    {
    /* find the min element in the unsorted a[j .. n-1] */
 
    /* assume the min is the first element */
        iMin = j;
    /* test against elements after j to find the smallest */
        for ( i = j+1; i < n; i++) 
        {
            /* if this element is less, then it is the new minimum */  
            if (ranking[i] < ranking[iMin]) 
            {
                /* found new minimum; remember its index */
                iMin = i;
            }
        }
 
        if(iMin != j) 
        {
            //swap(ranking[j], ranking[iMin]);
            rankingtemp=ranking[j];
            ranking[j]=ranking[iMin];
            ranking[iMin]=rankingtemp;
            
            rankingnametemp=rankingname[j];
            rankingname[j]=rankingname[iMin];
            rankingname[iMin]=rankingnametemp;
        }

serve customer
- today have 1 customer booking so need to serve them later(done)
total profit is USD7.5 but i only own 20% so is only USD1.50 and i spend like 3 hour serving them
sigh....

code game
- need to brainstorm the idea detail from start to finish then code as fast as possible
- normally, i would not share my game idea here before the game is finish to prevent people stealing the idea, but after thinking a while, this game is absolutely suck, not only it is boring like hell, there is absolutely 0 way to monetise, if you steal it, good luck , LOL

so I am not able to start coding before i get the idea down
so i want the programmer to have 10 level to progress starting from level1

level1-3 (normal programmer)
- so he work , nap, work , nap

level 4-6 (team lead programmer)
- so he work, assign work, nap

level 7-9 (manager)
- so he check employee, assign work,

level 10 CEO
- so he need to manage advertisement, hire and fire employee, kick out the chairman

7th day after quit my job

Ok, one week have pass, seem like the progress is not good

the game i plan to code i totally have 0 idea how to make it fun, but i already code it halfway, so even if the game is absolutely suck and not fun i think i have to complete it, i cannot just halfway abandon it, if i do like that, then everything will be halfway abandon

today objective is just 2

1. find a place to print my discount voucher for the offline shop
2. finish code my stupid game

about game idea
============
I have never thought that inventing game is so freaking hard, it is so different from playing game, the idea that make it fun is sooooooooooo freaking hard that it almost explode my brain,

okay, lets get through it, my game is about programmer life

so the stupid programmer will code whole day, 4 button to press "work , nap, gift, upgrade"

so he work nap work nap, then promoted, then work nap work nap gift gift promoted

then upgrade upgrade work nap work nap work nap gift gift promoted

end of story

just finish it and dont care if it is boring

Coding plan
==========
Okay, so i want to finish my first game "programmer life" i am not sure if this is a good idea seem like it is an extremely extremely boring stupid game

so i will make a programmer over there work like hell, then player can press "work, sleep", then once the work bar if finish , the programmer get a dollar salary
then when 5pm, the programmer got a choice between go home sleep or continue working

I just dunno what to do, BORING!!!!!!

but i need to finish it anyway, just make it simple stupid

so the next step is ??????

Hmmm, maybe i let the blog reader see some screenshot so that maybe, just maybe, someone can tell me how to make the game fun to play, so below is the screnshot for you to see, enjoy

5th day after quit my day job

Okay, so today i wake up late around 12 noon, becoz i was working on my offline retail shop till 3am yesterday, I was promoting my shop using groupon, and so far got 12 sale, the first sale will come today at 9pm, so later i will need to cater for the sale

spending on the offline shop so far
renovation USD28,000
but I only own 20%, so total spend is USD5600


the monthly cost of the offline shop is around USD1500, but since i only own 20%, so my monthly cost for the shop is USD300

we need around 100 sales per month to break even, so it is a very tough business


since i need to update this blog on daily basis, so i better break down all expense per day

normally my monthly expense is around USD1500

offline shop around USD300,
so total monthly spending is around USD1800, if divide by 30 days, so is USD60 per day


just now 8pm to 2am i am serving one group of customer at my offline shop, their total spending is USD74.666
but i only own 20% so is only USD14.8
so can say is 6 hour of work for USD14.8


income for today: USD14.8
expense for today: USD60

now is 3am, i cant think of anything, just go to sleep

4th day After quiting my job, Publish "timetracker" app for review

Okay, so today i got some event to go out from morning to evening, so i am not doing anything productive,

i reedit my "time tracker" app and republish

(check back 10 August 2014 post on how to publish)

nothing special for today

income: 0
expense: USD20(breakfast, lunch and dinner)

3rd day after quit my day job

Ok time now is 10:14am, i woke up late due to yesterday night i code till 2am

today planning

morning: beautify my app
afternoon: 3:30pm fix and service car
night: prepare offline shop


ok, so I need to focus on 3 thing to bring some income
1. iphone app
2. ebay store
3. offline shop

update:
iphone app
=========
so I finish my app"timetracker" and submit to ios approval so hopefully within 7 days can be up, I am selling for 0.99 each, expectation is not much, I am 6 years late into the iphone market so I really dont know what to expect

the next stop is to code a new game "life as a programmer" a stupidly boring game, hopefully someone can enjoy


ebay store
========
ok, i have eye on some product i want to sell, so I will buy 20 unit from the wholesaler and try to sell it first

offline shop
=========
ok, for this, i have put my ad on groupon, groupon will take 50% , but to put on groupon you need to give your customer 50% discount

say : discount 50%, only 50% left
groupon take 50%, only 25% left

so to make money you make sure your stuff is cheaper than 25% of the original selling price, say example,
if your product original selling price is $100,
for each item sold in groupon you only get $25, so you make sure your item is cheaper than $25 to make a little profit

so far groupon up for few hour and 0 sale, oh well....darn





income: 0
expense: USD100 (fix and service car)
               USD5 (food)

Unity ongui all image become square and unable to stretch?

Blender tutorial on how to build a clock

Okay, so I need to build an icon for my app, so i need to build a clock

below is the tutorial i found on youtube , i follow step by step

after going through the tutorial, below is my work 

not as good as the tutorial, but i will take it

Unity how to save and load game

Say if you want to save and load game you do as below,
let say you have 2 variable, 1 is the arraytimer1 (an array containing float), another variable is a String variable Category1, so first you create two function as below.
Do note by default you can only use PlayerPrefs but if you want to use PlayerPrefsX you need to create a new java script "PlayerPrefsX.js" and you copy paste the code from http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php/ArrayPrefs2

function saveall()
{

        PlayerPrefsX.SetFloatArray("arraytimer1",arraytimer1);
        PlayerPrefs.SetString("Category1",Category1);
        
}
function loadall()
{

        arraytimer1= PlayerPrefsX.GetFloatArray("arraytimer1");
        Category1 = PlayerPrefs.GetString("Category1");
}


To call the function, I would recommend you put the loadall in the function start, meaning when you start your app, it will load all the data into your game, and you only save your game when your application quit , so you put the saveall() in your function OnAPplicationQuit()

function Start () 
{
    loadall();

}

function OnApplicationQuit() 
{
    saveall();
}

Second Day after Quit my job

- what kind of item i can sell on ebay?

income for today: 0
expense for today: USD300( paying 2 credit card)

my account balance is running very low only USD2500 left, I might need to sell stock soon to get some money to cover the bill
