My new game Chromon! Draw a monster on a canvas, AI turns them into Chromon, and then you can battle with other players' drawings. Still WIP but here is a sneak peek! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #PitchYaGame

I got some comments saying the monsters in my dungeon crawler look sad and miserable. What do you think? #gamedev #indiegame

Small experiment that’s working weirdly well: I started including GPT-generated UI mockups in Reddit outreach. Now I turn the mockup into a shared HTML review link where we can annotate/chat, then feed that back to Codex. Less abstract, much faster alignment.

Built a small travel-planning tool: Reddit thread to map of the places mentioned. It resolves recommended spots to Google Maps for me before a trip.

Today's update: turned my private Reddit lead workflow into a public opportunities board. If you’re hunting for product ideas, use it as a research feed: scan real Reddit pain points, open the source threads, and look for repeated jobs-to-be-done. umutoz.com/opportunities

Added an event flow view to my Reddit Opportunity Finder. Now each lead has a visible timeline of all the steps from initial AI qualification to outreach. Each individual AI-assisted step I made in the past weeks are now connected in one UI.

Take a real pain point from Reddit, turn it into a product mockup, then give the person a simple way to say “yes, build this.” Yes, it is an AI-generated mockup image, GPT-image-2 is awesome! Would you try this as a way to validate ideas?

I kept getting annoyed by the last-minute travel math before appointments: when do I leave, should I bike, is public transport better, what happens if I miscalculate? So I made Routes #014 to pre-calculate the best option directly on my Google calendar.

Routes #014: umutoz.com/labs/014-routes It's something I built for myself. Just sharing it for inspiration.

Generate images with gpt-image-2 for faster early conversions. Instead of pitching an idea in paragraphs, I generate a focused mockup a simple shareable page around the exact problem.

I built a Reddit lead finder for myself, then decided to make the shortlist public. It looks for concrete pain signals in public Reddit threads and turns the useful ones into reviewed leads. Free to browse: umutoz.com/reddit-opportunit… #buildinpublic

Added autobattling mechanics and exploration to my game. In Chromon, players draw creatures, AI gives them life. Then, you battle with your own creations! #aigamedev #indiegamedev #sologamedev

I'm working on a game where you battle with creatures that you draw. Paint legendary creatures, bring them to life with AI and battle against other people's creations! Try the tech demo and paint your own Chromon! #indiegames #AIgame #ChatGPT #gamedev

Chromon: A game you play with creatures that players draw on a canvas! It is coming along nicely, I've drawn or evolved 40 of them already. Working on a closed alpha now. #indiedev #gamedev made with #ChatGPT @cursor_ai
