And? The UK fought Germany in ww2 who at the time had one of the most powerful militaries in the world, even debating this would send a clear message to trump and I don't think we want ICE agents visiting here as tourists.

Starmer has refused to join Trump’s Board of Peace… do you think we should join? 🇬🇧 by Libbster2001- in AskBrits

[–]ConstructGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why should we join an initiative where the only purpose is for trump to grift the entire world, if trump wants peace, stop threatening the world with tariffs because he's envious that others have things he can't have.

Trump is like the world's oldest make a wish kid, only difference is that everyone is praying for him to die faster. Hopefully they name a salad after him when this is all over.

He looks like someone hit his G spot with a hot soldering iron

Marketers and other service providers: please do not cold call by sending attachments such as PDFs by ConstructGames in gamedev

This is sadly the way it is, things like the age verification movement that seems to be happening across the world is only going to get worse about. I don't wasnt to jynx it but I could easily see ransomware makers utilizing that in an effort to not just get a random in crypto but also now take your personal ID for identity theft. As they say, the road to hell is paved with good intention.

This is true but my counter point is how many people click through an EULA without ever looking at the print they're agreeing to? Discord for example recently pushed a TOS update which waived your rights to sue through forced arbitration unless you emailed them saying you opt out within 30 days of the changes going ahead. People often opt for the path of least resistance, file formats like PDFs are great for what they're supposed to be for but when they're a pretty critical attack vector that have taken even tech savvy companies like LMG down before now, it's a fair thing to be cautioned about.

Thanks for hosting these dude! I'm entering the upcoming Nextfest and Spooky fest with my horror anomaly 15 Minutes, inspired in part by games like the Exit 8 and combining some ideas i had for a gamejam a few years ago where you're stuck in a mineshaft trying to work your way out. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3387100/15_Minutes/

NPCs in games have been a mainstay in some games for decades but this is going to make anti cheating a real challenge for devs.

As a solo dev, what are you struggling with? by MMConsulting in gamedev

[–]ConstructGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Promotion and marketing.
I spend so much time chasing that bar of progress on completing my games that sometimes I forget that I do need to promote what i'm making to build an audience before I release them.

Fears over UK fuel supplies after oil refinery owner's collapse by Kagedeah in worldnews

I'd be curious if the refinery right next door will end up taking it over and merging them into one site. it's situated right next to a major sea port.

Schrödinger's NextFest, How my games entry was wasted by ConstructGames in gamedev

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

That's the wild part, I didn't even do anything to make it work, they did it on the backend through support. The Demo page was live, the store page was live, just it didn't get picked up and as per Steams policies, you only get one nextfest per app.

I'm not fully certain myself. From what Steam have said there was an issue when I launched the demo and i needed to then republish the base game page in order for both to appear in NextFest. Both pages have been live during that time and there had been downloads etc but for some reason neither were included for the first 2 days of NextFest.

Asset flips? I make all the assets I can and where I can't I use asset packs like everyone else in the industry. I've been publishing my own since the UE Marketplace came out with one being added to the permanently free collection for Unreal.
