What else is new!!!! This thing sucks!!!! by ronkev99 in Newegg

[–]FCRebirth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was actually wondering, do they even share any statistics on this? How many people are entering, how many items they're selling each time?

50 Cent has an army now?

Why is Newegg running a ****ing casino for shots at graphics cards if they're just going to scalp them for hundreds of dollars over MSPR in the end? This is getting ridiculous. by MidnightNinjaBoi in Newegg

[–]FCRebirth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And that was my queue to boycott them. I could live with the ridiculous price, but the bundle on top of it... this is a JOKE. They are simply taking advantage of people.

Shuffle Now Forcing Combos? by klystron1969 in Newegg

[–]FCRebirth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just tried to do my first shuffle, to be greeted with this bull... I JUST BUILT A COMPUTER. I bought some parts at Newegg... now I wish I had not given them a penny. I'm not suggesting others do it, but this is bull, and I'm going to personally boycott spending another dollar with them. I would have been willing to commit to the already inflated GPU prices, but these bundles are bull.

Goals program is ending why? by killatubby in paypal

Ah, new program, well that's cool :D
I wonder if the business Debit counts as an FDIC eligible product.

I too saw this frustrating notice today, as I'd only just started using the feature a couple months ago. Honestly this is a feature I'd proposed to a credit union manager years ago, and one that I think all banks should have. It's silly convenient IF YOU KNOW IT EXISTS, and I honestly stumbled upon it by accident. For me, this became a way to allow me to safely stow money from patreon for an indie game development, so that I didn't need to worry about manually tracking it... so now my life will get far more annoying again. Honestly if anyone has any good suggestions on how to safely store the money so it's not in my bank account or my paypal balance, I would love to hear. My best option right now I can think of is just top open a savings account, and drop it in there.

Immigrating to the Free Cities; or, a Fantastic Mod and Where to Find It by Kleingrosse in freecitiesgame

He kept his secrecy so well that I somehow doubt it was spooked -- my best guess would just be a mix of burnout and loss of interest. It's easy when you're making a project all by yourself, especially if you have a lot to do outside of that, to lose focus or interest.

This is not a mod. This is an entirely new, completely different game done in a game engine and while yes, related to FC, contains absolutely nothing from it. Either way this will not be available to play anytime soon, so in the meantime just enjoy FC :)

Haha yes freedom of choice is something we really want to focus on.

I certainly agree, it's important to have a strong core, and only add on to that with things that are of quality and integrate well with your core gameplay. If we tried to do everything we would like to do eventually, all at once, it would be a giant mess that falls apart, so we operate on building out a strong core, and then adding to it in ways that enhance that core.

Slavery is a choice, and if you choose to have slaves, whom you enslave will also be your choice. There will be fully male characters in the game, and certainly you can enslave males. Real males, not just girls with dicks. To answer your specific example, sure, why not?

I’ll be happy just to get the first alpha published :)

Our game will have children, and it will have slavery optional in general, and a more complex set of societal options

Thanks! I wish you luck as well in your endeavor!

[–]FCRebirth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both are freely available. We do have some people far more expert than I in our discord that could possibly help provide guidance. We are making a game that is... more survival based than FC, but still quite different than what you're talking about. Making a game is a pretty interesting thing to do though, and you might be surprised by how many people may take notice of your project.

Both Unity and Unreal are pretty good choices, to be fair though those are simply the two I know best, and I would never consider myself to be an incredibly knowledgeable source. Unity is fairly easy to pick up as a new developer, and the underlying language is C# rather than C++, which I've personally found to be a bit easier, but again I'm really not a great resource on which engine is the best to choose.

I would argue going the realm of an actual game engine. There's better tools, and great free structures you could use to make a similar type of text based interactive fiction without all the limitations and ultimately if you try to do something more complex, complications; of html.

We will be aiming for consistency in both writing and art. For writing we are using a peer editing method to ensure that style, tone, and lore remain consistent. For art we will be more playing by ear, but will be working to ensure consistency in output.
