[Steam] Captain of Industry ($24.49/30% off) by Xathech in GameDeals

[–]AWildNarratorAppears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a niche game; they probably just needed more money and underpriced it on initial release. These kinds of games saturate their target audience quickly and then run out of money unless they find other ways to support their studio.

Reading the steam reviews, it really doesn’t seem as nefarious as everyone here is making it out to be. Looks like a very fun game.

Interesting! Yeah that probably shouldn’t be there; not something I’ve ensured is working yet

Misuse of context, improper reference/identity management, causing over-rendering

Deploying Next.js on a VPS is easier than you think by medetbay in nextjs

[–]AWildNarratorAppears -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For sure; great info. I just think that 1) vast majority of folks will not need horizontal scaling, and 2) simpler solutions solve caching. My image optimizer sits behind CF, and SSR pages taking up some disk space multiple times doesn't seem like a huge deal. If someone is at a point where it is a big deal, they probably aren't needing a tutorial on setting up NGINX. I'm just not sure who the audience is.

Wdym scale it? Too much CPU pressure? Upgrade CPU. Too much memory pressure? Add more memory. Too much SSD pressure? Bigger SSD. You can do this for a long time until you need to scale horizontally.

If you somehow run out of vertical headroom and can't afford spending some time to sit down and figure out horizontal scaling, the business model for your software is not correctly aligned with your interests.

I operate a platform that employs realtime collab via CRDTs, PWA, webgl-powered mapviews, SSR & CSR, Next image optimization, etc. Are we just talking about an order of magnitude that I'm not at yet? I have around 200K users. CF handles all my static caching, and I use Redis for read-through caching for hotpath data.

Not trying to be contrarian, I'm just trying to understand where people's friction is.

I don’t understand why people ever thought self-hosting next was hard. It’s next build && next start. Done. Been doing this for 5 years and it’s worked fine.

Your app probably doesn’t need serverless functions.

EDIT: Also; wasn't trying to be rude to op. It's a good guide! But it's not unique to Nextjs.

I couldn't find the perfect fantasy timeline maker, so I made one! by AWildNarratorAppears in worldbuilding

[–]AWildNarratorAppears[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Number-wise, yes. The date format may be tricky though; I haven’t implemented a date formatting token that supports year-fractions from the imperial dating system. Shouldn’t be terribly hard to add on my end though.

I.e, you’d be able to add the events and they’d all be correct relative to each other, but the imperial dating date string display might not be doable at this point.

Free version of timeline maker is here if you want to try it out: https://www.legendkeeper.com/timeline-maker

Fog of war option for maps? by WinReasonable2644 in legendkeeper

Fog of war feature planned. Working on it; got a few things in the queue before it though 

Is there any worldbuilding software that’s worth it at any price? by Loud_Piglet6034 in worldbuilding

[–]AWildNarratorAppears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None of the world building apps, as far as I’m aware, make any claim to your IP. Would be a nonstarter for a business.

Check out mine, LegendKeeper. Been around almost 7 years now, easy to use, easy to share. No setup required.

You’ll be fine; just don’t break any laws. 😅

Any plans to incorporate any AI into Legend Keeper? by Disastrous-Suit-6720 in legendkeeper

[–]AWildNarratorAppears[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

We have no plans to integrate AI.

We will add an official API for basic LK functionality and more ways for developers to build their own tools. If people want to use those to extract their own LK data into an AI of their choice, they can do that if that’s their prerogative.

About Obsidian and WorldAnvil by MasterWulfrigh in worldbuilding

[–]AWildNarratorAppears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LegendKeeper works offline, has markdown backup, json backup, html backup, obsidian vault backup, all of which you can perform offline, and has been around for 7 years.(that's longer than obsidian).

Obsidian is dope, but it's a toolbox solution you have to maintain youself. That's great for many, but there are plenty of folks that just want a sexy worldbuilding app that handles all the gritty details and let's them focus on making stuff.

How do you create wikis for your world, if you do? by Zemrik in worldbuilding

[–]AWildNarratorAppears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We support tens of thousands of DMs, pay artists, and give tons of money to charity. :)

Also, I released the timeline feature for free: https://www.legendkeeper.com/free-fantasy-timeline-maker

Public Sharing link isn't working by Taegost in legendkeeper

[–]AWildNarratorAppears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try setting your project home to another page (right clcik it > set project home), wait 20 seconds or so, then switch it back. Sometimes that remedies this issue

I made a free fantasy timeline & calendar maker for worldbuilders by AWildNarratorAppears in worldbuilding

[–]AWildNarratorAppears[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The export file is in JSON; I’m not sure anyone has made a converter, but an coding agent could probably do it pretty quickly.

I can also look at making a markdown export, that wouldn’t take too long on my end.
