This is the first ad in years to actually pique my interest, this would be amazing as an actual app.

[bumbomumboni]

I would love if you published this as an actual app it would really help alot of people not lose motivation

[TKontent]

This is the first ever ad I clicked on, and I do not regret it.

[rudro]

idea is just lit, cinematics are top notch, dev + film making
and also work flow is really good

[OneAndOnlyWilliamShort]

I feel betrayed. I thought this ad was for the app. My shock when I was brought to some random site was unfathomable

[swiftninjapro]

You should add the skill "waiting for things to load" :)

[thatpenguinguy]

Your ad is probably the only ad I’ve every clicked on. Great job with the editing and hooking me in man! I’d love to see this app I know I need it.

[akashinen]

I need this, I have a hard time feeling motivated and I get even more unmotivated if I don’t feel like I’m improving. This is perfect for me because I love RPG games.

[acursedhope]

This is the only shorts ad I've ever clicked on lol, such a cool idea

[Kiragi]

Legitimately the only ad that has truly piqued my interest.


This would help the loss of motivation that lots of people experience when doing tasks unlike in games when you can see the gains you make each time like an increase in strength for a stat, or maybe you level up a skill, but in contrast to real life: You don’t see the increase in ‘exp’ when learning something in real life feeling like you just don’t get anywhere but with this it could bridge the gap of actually seeing the improvements you make each time!


Or the short version: sounds like a really awesome idea bro 👍🏼

[flyingstonemon]

Was sad when this wasn't an app itself haha

[Thunderclap]

This video works surprisingly well as both an ad and a video. Good job!

[jaydenmoon]

I love this - I love watching people create fun and interesting apps - your enthusiasm is infectious - great work

[GreenKangaroo]

You should make sessions in the app. People can start a “coding with … “ session and end it and gain points that way instead of getting points automatically every day. This application honestly seems like it could become a big thing and I wish you luck🍀

[lavaking]

Not sure if hes made it yet, but i have an idea for an official app on this idea. As of watching solo leveling, it could possibly be like that, like.. a daily training, but also irl quest completing (based off chosen likes, almost like choosing classes. Choose a class, as in a like, such as language or coding) and not being able to choose a new class until youve completed all base quests, and then having the choice of doing mastery quests and start to learn those skills more, for language to be fluent or coding to be always in your head, and know how to problem solve code and perfect you craft. You create new "loadouts" when you choose a new class, and there can be some kind of pvp minigames or like actually fun and challenging dungeons or smth with players of different classes in real life on the game, so each loadout with each different class (element or special magic type, so you can think of it as all elemental classes as real things or smth like coding being "spacial magic" and stuff) can upgrade their own character with skill points earned from their class quests and masteries. When one class is mastered, it can combine with a new loadout to make a dual power loadout, with the mastered skill and the choses, unfinished or maybe even already completed one, and combine your skill points and max level counts. A fun way to keep people active if theres quick matches and gamemodes along with unique abilities for their class so not every player with the same class has the same abilities, even some unique quests. Keeps people active on games whole also doing their training and practice! (Physical would obviously be the easiest quests to do, just do a workout or smth, with some kind of phone motion tracking? If thats possible)

You make us very excited to be a Developers... just like you're 🤩

[aaronbcj]

Make it multiplayer and ability to add people to your party and use training/KT to level up as group..
make some mean boss for each level (questionnaires maybe) which you can tackle individually or with group

[cosmicgamer]

Just saw the ad and decided to watch the full thing then found my way here. Would love to see this further developed!

[veraci_ty]

Never before have I clicked on an ad. This is wonderful! I would love to see this made!

[hurgletislife]

Although I might not use this information (I am too scared) I'm still super glad you elaborated on what you were doing
and explained it thoroughly while keeping the cinematics and developing top notch. I often watch videos for game development
where the OP just says "Code in the Movement" or something like that, it's nice to see this! 🔥🔥🔥
