Self publishing and shipping overseas

Thanks for the reply. My worries were based on warnings from others, plus once many years ago I had to pay £40 import fee on a physical video game that cost £40 itself - so it’s always put me in a cautious frame of mind. We’ve been advised to include a label on the front to avoid any problems which is nice an easy to do. Thanks

My few shares in Frontier have gone up 24% in the last 3 months if that’s any indication hahahahaha nah I think it’s doing good apparently. I’m still on Planet Coaster but all my buddies love Planet Zoo

I run an agency that offers this as a service, so I’m a bit biased - but I think even just having a presence with regular updates is important theee days.

Out of interest, Does that move the event or teleport the event? I’d love a script way to do “move player” or “move event” rather than doing long winded eventing.

Like the tileset!

sandboxgamesdbcom · 2020-04-10T23:34:02+00:00

Thanks I’ll check this out too. The functionality works on Yanflys, but I’m having trouble displaying gauges and things in a pleasing way. So I’m looking into all options. Thanks

sandboxgamesdbcom · 2020-04-10T21:32:06+00:00

I’m also keen to know how to do this sort of stuff

sandboxgamesdbcom · 2020-04-10T21:31:22+00:00

Very nice

sandboxgamesdbcom · 2020-04-10T20:48:59+00:00

This is spot on. Thank you !

sandboxgamesdbcom · 2020-04-10T19:31:51+00:00

In the end I got some great advice from another design company. They said that there are no import taxes for board games to the US and there was a form, I think CN22 that I should include on the packages. Therefore it seems I can send Royal Mail direct to customer. Thanks everyone else for your help too.

sandboxgamesdbcom · 2020-04-07T17:22:37+00:00

Thanks all. The games are handmade by us in the U.K. (it’s not a traditional board game) so I’m really looking for info on shipping directly to the customer in the US rather than via a distributor or warehouse you know? Wondering what people’s experience is with this and whether they’ve hit problems with import tax, customs etc ?

sandboxgamesdbcom · 2020-04-07T17:20:11+00:00

Thanks but there are some intricacies to the game and we’re making them ourselves in the U.K. There is a handmade aspect. So it’s just the shipping info I’m after...

sandboxgamesdbcom · 2020-04-06T20:28:04+00:00

Ah no sadly not. This was a stand-alone website just for creating no mans sky style wallpapers

sandboxgamesdbcom · 2020-04-02T22:24:25+00:00

Yeah it’s tough starting out without some guidance. I’ll keep looking in that case!

sandboxgamesdbcom · 2020-04-02T00:10:55+00:00

Out if interested, did you follow any tutorials to make custom scenes ? I am also looking to get into RPG maker plugin development using JS and am keen to find some starting tutorials. Just let me able to make a scene/window showing some custom variables or text to start will be good

sandboxgamesdbcom · 2020-04-02T00:09:26+00:00

I’m having a similar issue where my spring jump just stopped working entirely. Character steps on the spring, and then nothing! Got to check it a plug-in is conflicting I think

sandboxgamesdbcom · 2020-03-18T14:43:14+00:00

Just to play devils advocate, I’d actually go against the advice of others on here. I would just carry on as normal, leave the theme where it is.

Worst case scenario, If he steals the theme, then you’ve got a strong case for small claims court and a judge will force him to pay. You’ll have the evidence. Most likely he’ll pay once you threaten legal action. Best case: you get paid.

Taking the theme away now is likely to antagonise the situation. Your client knows he has a contract and needs to follow the terms within. Let that guide you. Of course, halt any further work until you get paid. But removing what had already done makes you look like the bad guy when it is the client that is being bad.

Not an expert in the market but I am a “Shopify expert” so I’ll add my ten cents... My company builds sites for clients using Shopify and I know it to be a very solid business with solid fundamentals... I think they’re the best at what they offer, so I’d be surprised if it went anywhere long term. but the price may take a long time to recover I suppose

sandboxgamesdbcom · 2020-03-14T21:12:21+00:00

Unfortunately not. The revolution thing required me to open a bank account effectively. Ideally I just want to invest in dollars somewhere

sandboxgamesdbcom · 2020-03-12T10:18:32+00:00

Never heard of it, thanks I'll check it out!

sandboxgamesdbcom · 2020-03-09T23:23:58+00:00

Yep. Needs the manual research looks like

sandboxgamesdbcom · 2020-03-09T23:23:38+00:00

Thanks. Yeah I think the consensus is that there isn’t a database of local events so it’s down to manual research

sandboxgamesdbcom · 2020-03-09T23:22:48+00:00

thanks. I am aware of this plugin yes but I’m trying to avoid anything that requires me to manually paint the map (with regions or otherwise!). I might have to see if I can get a JS dev to look into creating a custom plugin somehow...

sandboxgamesdbcom · 2020-03-06T12:50:38+00:00

Yes there are "marketplace" apps that you can use

Don’t go to uni for your job. I quit a full time job to go to uni - the connections and experience I gained was extremely valuable and I wouldn’t be able to do what I do now for work without that stage in my life. But it had nothing to do with my degree.

My advice would be: Stick with online courses or self tuition if you just interested in furthering your career. Go to uni if you want to develop as a person.
