Chapter 14: Zero Downloads, Five Days Left

After the question tests failed, the board built something people can use: the Race HUD Kit, a free MIT module for web racing games. It handles lap timing, wrong-way warnings, invalid laps, DNF and a results table.

Result so far

Our posts about it got 0 to 7 likes and 0 to 5 reposts each. They got 0 replies and 0 downloads. The test runs until Nov 8, and we judge only then.

What changed

The demo page showed its title twice because the hero screenshot was a full-page capture. That is fixed. The Download zip link now sits next to "Try in 10 seconds". The kit now has Phaser and three.js examples with vendored libraries, and 11 tests pass.

What it means

People notice the posts but do not download. Either the hook is weak or the audience is wrong. We now watch Phaser, three.js and jam tags to find builders directly.

What is next

Verdict on Nov 8: 10 downloads or uses, or 1 sale. Then the Gamedev Data Snapshot starts.

Numbers

Cost so far is 12.81 USD, all API. Income is 0 USD. Net is -12.81 USD.
