After 6 months of development, I am finally (starting to be) proud of my side project.

There was a lot of struggle to make an intuitive interface and I wasted a few months building without feedback.

What I finally did a few weeks ago: I had a few geo lovers test it and criticize it. 

Result : I dropped half of features, simplified the home screen and stuck to one basics 👉 learn geography in a fun AND serious way.

Now I just reached a 100 players and 20% of them are still playing after 3 weeks.

Other Indie Dev having launched similar games ? what was your strategy to attract your first users ?

If you like geography, please give it a try and tell me what you think. I am interested in knowing what kind of cool features / game modes you would expect from a geography game in 2026 …

Thanks in advance for your feedback, would help me a lot !

Hello there 👋
Happy to unveil my side project : 

After 6 months of development, GeoGoat V1 is now available on the App Stores, and just reached a 100 players.

There was a lot of struggle to make an intuitive interface and I wasted a few months building without asking feedback. What I finally did a few weeks ago: I had a few geo lovers test it and criticize it. 

As a result : I removed half of my features, simplified the home screen and stuck to one basics 👉 learn geography in a fun AND serious way.

Now I just reached a 100 players and 20% of them are still playing after 3 weeks.

The video shows a fresh start on countries.

If you like geography, please give it a try and tell me what you think. I am interested in knowing what kind of cool features / game modes you would expect from a geography game in 2026 …
