The Making of TP Games

Long story short, it took a long time.

The project started back in May of 2022. A vision was born of having simple web accessible party games quickly turned to a fun side project to something more. The idea was to create a platform where people could play games together, no matter where they were. The goal was to make it easy to play games with friends and family, even if they were miles apart.

Initially the project was going to just be games that we created internally and at no surprise we learned a team of 2 could not achieve this in a reasonable time frame. We decided to pivot and allow users to create their own games. This was a huge turning point for the project. We were able to focus on the platform and let the users create the content.

Luckily Justin had the foresight to build the platform in a way that allowed for this pivot. The platform was built with a system that allowed for games to be created and added to the platform with ease. This was a huge win for the project.

The project was not without its challenges. We had to learn a lot about web development, game design, and user experience. We had to learn how to scale the platform and how to keep it secure. We had to learn how to market the platform and how to get users to use it. Along with that, P2P is a hard problem to solve. We had to learn how to make the games work well over the internet across different devices and operating systems. iOS still is a huge pain point for us.

Justin worked at Garmin at the time of the projects inception and left his job to work on the project full time. He is hoping this project doesn't flop and wasn't a waste of time and a waste of a good job.
