So cool! Couple of minor bugs - I can click banks / hotels and use them without being near them, also many hotels in ex Paris do not show up as usable, neither does the Paris metro. Still, super fun to play.

Some other features I'd love to see: - Ability to check transit timetables without going there - Metros / Tubes / Subways for in-city transit

Hit a wall going to Plymouth when I should have gone to Portsmouth, but had no way to check which one had the ferry I needed.


In BBC's "Race across the world" you aren't allowed a mobile phone to check timetables, so I guess this is in the spirit of that game.

Yeah I didn't implement that as in the show they don't let you look anything up but quite a few people have mentioned it would be useful. I think I will add

- A minimap to all the timetables that show visibly where the transport goes - A tourist information center in town and city centers you can use to find out other information


That'd be cool! Or maybe just going to any train/bus station gives you the timetables for all of them, so you don't have to add another thing.

Def ran into issues on my second play - there were no trains from Waterloo, nor any boats from Plymouth or Portsmouth.

Shows a lot of promise. Can't wait for it to improve some of the core systems just a little, will be very addictive.


Thanks for answering questions!

Do you think H1B visa holders looking to move to a Green Card (in coordination with their employer) should be concerned about rejected applications or other issues?


There is no issue specific to those in H-1B status impacting the ability to get a green card but I would say that it's getting tougher to get green cards in general, particularly through the National Interest Waiver and Extraordinary Ability routes.


Available now in Beekeeper Studio, would love community feedback! Been using it today...man it's crazy good.


Thanks for doing an AMA!

Should folks on H1B visas who have an ongoing green card application via PERM be concerned at all?

Would you advise not traveling until the i-495 is filed?


No, they still should travel. But they should consult with their company's immigration lawyer regarding the documents they should carry when they travel.


Hey! This is awesome! Great job :-)

How many hours are you looking for QA support each week/month, if it’s part time? I’m interested in extra hours if it works!


2048 is fantastic, and going full time on your project is a huge milestone. Congrats!


Hey! I run Beekeeper Studio.

Here's why I price like I do:

I can't keep the lights on with one time payments, period. I just don't make enough money.

However as a consumer I prefer them.

My compromise is a subscription that provides a permanent benefit after 1 year. Access to any version of the app released in your subscription period. Forever.

I think it's really fair, and when I made the change I saw an immediate uptick in sales.

Renewal is still opt out though. Defaults matter.


Automatic like for including Beekeeper Studio :-D.


Do you think this would work as a bug reporting solution for a desktop app using electron?

I make beekeeper Studio and struggle with bug reports being very vague


I'd love to chat to you - what's a good email to get in touch?
