Progress
My first Instagram reel had an 87.6% skip rate. Here’s what I learned 📉
Drop Rivals update 🍂 (a cozy marble-racing game with pets) ✅ Found why people skipped: the video lagged, the first second was a slow start screen, and I couldn’t add music to it ✅ The lag wasn’t the game: Claude (the AI I build with) had recorded it in real time while encoding the video, so frames got dropped. For the new reel I just screen-recorded real gameplay on my phone and posted it on Instagram and TikTok ✅ Fixed blurry graphics on iPhones: in Low Power Mode Safari runs at 30 fps, and my “auto quality” thought the phone was slow and dropped the resolution. Now it measures how long a frame takes to draw instead of how often frames arrive 📣 Sent 11 outreach messages to YouTubers and TikTokers, mostly small and mid-size creators who play different games Next: comparing the new reel’s skip rate with the old one http://droprivals.com #buildinpublic #gamedev
