Год разработки iOS-игры, 266 тысяч показов и $33: как я делал Vault и почти ничего не заработал

Я год делал iOS-игру Vault: the board game: онлайн, профили, друзья, локализация, сезонные ивенты, премиум-паки и нормальная страница в App Store. За последние 90 дней App Store Connect показал 266 тысяч показов, 6 тысяч первых загрузок и $33 proceeds. Это честный рассказ о том, почему хороший инди-проект сам по себе не становится бизнесом.

Я построила диагностику «стоит ли это автоматизировать» — и она трижды говорила глупости. Разбор ошибок

В страховании сейчас распространенный сценарий: руководству приходит гениальная идея «внедрить AI», оно спускает его на функциональных директоров — «придумайте, что у вас автоматизировать». Директор идёт к ChatGPT, описывает процесс, получает уверенный ответ «вам подойдёт LLM-агент». Идёт к вендору — вендор приносит презентацию и ценник. Идёт к консультантам — те делают аудит и тоже находят, что предложить.И ни один из этих советчиков не скажет «не делайте, не окупится». У LLM это... Read more
