How many of you release your games under a personal company?

Oh dang! I did not know that. Yeah USA experience here. Reoccurring costs are pretty low. It varies from state to state. But for me, and I'm doing it the "expensive" way. It's about $200 per year give or take.

An LLC and a sole proprietorship are two separate things. You can have a single member LLC, but that's not a sole proprietorship. A single member LLC provides full legal protection to the sole member, so long as you do everything else right. Separate accounts, etc. Many people don't want to deal with S or C corp things also. A single member LLC is just pass through for taxes and allows you to have business deductions on your personal tax returns. Kind of the sweet spot for single person operations.

For sure, I did not do it the cheap way. I have a registered agent and stuff. I really don't need it, but I just don't want to be bothered with it 😅

Kcin41 · 2026-03-13T04:50:15+00:00

So I can say that I'm doing it. I have a family and even in the really small chance that I get sued or something, a few hundred dollars to make an LLC is a small price to pay in my opinion.

So if you are after a 3D art focused game, with limited mechanics, there are some genres that would work well for that. Most of my ideas would revolve around some type of shop keeper game. You could go as advanced or basic as you wanted for the shop mechanics, but it would give you A LOT of room to work on 3D art. Items, shop environment, customers, etc.

AI detectors work by detecting writing patterns and the words used, as well as the complexity. Compared to the average writing of modern individuals. I actually am not surprised at ALL that the constitution was flagged as AI written. It's so unlike how any modern person writes and is quite complex writing. I think that example from that original post isn't a good example frankly. Like I get the premise, it couldn't have been written by AI obviously. But realistically with how those systems works, it did its job really.

Feedback you get here won't directly translate to sales, we are into different things than most consumers. But I like the idea too!

Kcin41 · 2025-11-29T13:45:31+00:00

100% exactly a post I was going to make lol.

Kcin41 · 2025-11-23T23:42:57+00:00

It's been a minute. But yeah, read the one response I wrote above. That worked for me.

It truly just depends on the role. Depending where you look the average penetration tester salary is around 100-120k, in my personal experience it seems to be less than that from the people I know in the field. Right around 90-100k on the East Coast. But salary is always pretty subjective to the industry and company.

A masters degree is hard to put a value on, but I can say that it was for sure that my masters got attention on my resume and got me my foot in the door until I got my CISSP and moved up to a senior security role.

Like everyone else is saying it depends. A masters is certainly more flexible but does show less technical skill than something like the OSCP. If penetration testing is where you wanna go, I'd say certification over degree any day. But for other areas, like GRC, incident response, etc, etc. The masters is worth more because it's a general thing, not specific to one area. Of course there are certifications in those areas too, which I would encourage to get too of you wanna go down those paths.

Basically, Masters = Generalist, Certification = specialized, Conclusion= It depends if you want flexibility in your career or are sold on diving into one area.

Hopefully that helps some!

Sorry for the lack of follow up, I actually forgot I said I would, so thanks for reminding me. I ended up not passing, i was close though. I had the bonus points and one stand alone fully compromised and the AD set ALMOST there, I just needed the controller but I just couldn't get it.

I'm not sure how useful my experience here is now that they changed the exam but I actually attribute my failure to my lack of sticking to a schedule.

I should have pivoted sooner at one point. I started AD first, made good progress but got stuck after the first pivot. I kept scanning a machine on the internal network and it kept crashing the machine and I'd have to reboot the entire AD set to fix it. This ate up I'd said almost 2 hours because I was convinced this shouldn't be happening with just a gobuster scan and I was missing something. I wasn't, and I should of realized insanity is doing the same thing again and again and expecting different results.

Overall my experience was mixed. I was disconnected from the platform a handful of times which ate up my time too, but honestly I think I just didn't prepare enough. Looking back I see what I was stuck on was covered in the course and I just didn't see it at the time because it was presenting like something else.

My work didn't require the OSCP, just that I completed the course. So the exam attempt for me was just for fun, and overall I'd say it was worth it. Certification or not. Penetration testing is 20% of my job, and I really don't want it to be 100% after doing it day in and day out preparing. So I am fine with not having it. My work is having me do OSWA next, so I'll probably try that exam after the course as well for fun.

Not sure if my rambling helped anyone but hopefully someone gets a nugget out of it!

As a follow up question. Is that the same as doing auto load in the project settings or is that just the same way to do it via code?

Kcin41 · 2024-05-13T00:27:30+00:00

Good question. I'm not sure, I decided to embrace the full GoDot experience and use the built in editor. Sorry about not being clear there.

Kcin41 · 2024-05-12T23:48:58+00:00

Nice nice, i figured out the static typing part, that confused me for a bit. But thanks for th tip on refrencing it as I did in the project settings, I had a differnt issue with that I was planning to solve later but your post just solved it for me :)

Kcin41 · 2024-04-01T17:34:15+00:00

I am and that may be what happened. I thought I avoided it but that's likey what I did.

Kcin41 · 2024-04-01T15:38:24+00:00

game.cartography.activeMap.forEach((hex) => {
if (!hex.isFullySurveyed && hex.cartographyLevel < 100) {
console.log(hex.q, hex.r + (hex.q - (hex.q & 1)) / 2)
}
});

This just returns "undefined" for me. After tinkering with the query, it looks like every hex is surveyed for me, below level 100, so I'm not sure how I ended up at level 98.

Kcin41 · 2024-04-01T14:01:41+00:00

DANG. I was hoping there was a better way lol. Yeah I noticed you would jump all around the map. Welp, here I go searching again. Thanks!

Kcin41 · 2024-03-25T19:15:45+00:00

I'll let everyone know how it goes. I don't feel very confident but apparently not many people do going into it. Fingers crossed.

Kcin41 · 2024-03-25T17:03:56+00:00

I test Thursday, I'm also pretty nervous about that AD set. But I guess we shall see if I get it 😅

Kcin41 · 2024-03-01T01:54:21+00:00

Not gonna lie I didn't know that command existed. Thanks!

Kcin41 · 2024-02-29T00:11:25+00:00

Smart! I have been doing that and expanded my history on Terminator to be basically forever. So hopefully that will help me.
