How I did it: i was shooting around an idea for a words game based off of Urban Dictionary. i know. this is rather disturbing. but anyways -
so i had this chat a few more times with other friends later on and especially while we were drunk. this was just too funny to pass up. so anyways, that's when i decided to start making a hangman game with Urban Dictionary words.
i actually met this other guy that helped give a lot of mental support and inspiration. just the ability to sit down at a coffee shop every friday night for 4 hours really helped me work on this project at least once a week.
so i started developing the app on Android some time in March. and then i just kept up about once a week until i quit my job in August.
then, i picked it up almost full time when i came back to Texas in late August. i got a designer to help me with some of the designs. i paid about $500 to a college Industrial designer student. he was a good friend of mine. plus, he had never seen Seattle before, and i basically gave him a free tour of Seattle :)
around October, i had tested the app with several people, and i had found some pretty damn hilarious words to use as part of the app. then after i was pretty satisfied, i published the app, which you can find from my website:
