https://0n1studios.com/journal/ Notes from 0n1 Studios — building privacy-first games in public, and how it’s done. en-us Sun, 12 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://0n1studios.com/journal/name-the-game https://0n1studios.com/journal/name-the-game Sun, 12 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT An AI will build a game the moment you ask — the question is whose game. Before the core loop, before the GDD, there's one word that decides everything downstream: the type. Here's why naming the genre first is the cheapest, highest-leverage decision you can make — and a 3D atlas of the types to steal from. https://0n1studios.com/journal/meet-the-team https://0n1studios.com/journal/meet-the-team Fri, 10 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT A game studio usually shows you its games. The other half of what gets built here is the toolchain that builds them — twelve studio-made AI tools that generate the art, post the dailies, run the releases and remember the lessons. The new Workshop page is that team made visible — commit activity and all, honestly, and without a single thing to sell you. https://0n1studios.com/journal/from-letterbox-to-lineby https://0n1studios.com/journal/from-letterbox-to-lineby Fri, 10 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT I renamed my quote puzzle — not because the old name was wrong, but because it was crowded. "Letterbox" is a film site, a mail slot, an aspect ratio, and a hiking hobby before it's ever my game, and I got tired of searching for my own app and finding everyone else. Meet LineBy — same game, same one-time purchase, a name you can actually find. https://0n1studios.com/journal/the-only-constant-is-change https://0n1studios.com/journal/the-only-constant-is-change Sat, 27 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT Two games changed shape this month. LineBy went freemium with a free daily puzzle, and a one-time library that now grows every day. Worldwright is expanding past the phone with a Unity rebuild that adds desktop and Android while staying on iOS. Why I moved both, and the render-free core that made the rewrite cheap. https://0n1studios.com/journal/if-you-build-it-they-will-come https://0n1studios.com/journal/if-you-build-it-they-will-come Thu, 18 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT Building the game is the fun part. Getting one stranger to notice it is the hard part nobody warns you about. No formula — just table stakes: be findable, show up, and beg your friends. Notes from the cornfield. https://0n1studios.com/journal/why-you-need-a-gdd https://0n1studios.com/journal/why-you-need-a-gdd Tue, 16 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT An idea isn't a game — it's a mood. A game begins the moment you write the mechanics down. Here's why every repo I touch has a plain gdd.md, and why it matters twice as much when an AI is building with you. https://0n1studios.com/journal/building-0n1-in-public https://0n1studios.com/journal/building-0n1-in-public Mon, 15 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT I make small iOS games on my own. This is where I write down how it's going, how bits of it work, and the things I got wrong along the way.
