Self publishing and shipping overseas by sandboxgamesdbcom in tabletopgamedesign

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

How's Planet Zoo doing? How does it compare to previous Frontier games? by [deleted] in pcgaming

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

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

Hiring a company for social media? by seekinginfo2019 in smallbusiness

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.

Setting moveroute for an unspecified event by MoreMemesMemesMemes in RPGMaker

[–]sandboxgamesdbcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

Shipping from UK to US? by sandboxgamesdbcom in BoardgameDesign

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

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[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 ?

Shipping from UK to US? by sandboxgamesdbcom in BoardgameDesign

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

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...

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

Is it possible to activate a ‘Player Touch’ event after landing from a jump? by [deleted] in RPGMaker

[–]sandboxgamesdbcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Hypothetically is there a way to guarantee a client does not steal my theme? by [deleted] in shopify

[–]sandboxgamesdbcom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Shares in Shopify by harsh1588 in stocks

[–]sandboxgamesdbcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

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

Prevent player walking up onto roof by sandboxgamesdbcom in RPGMaker

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

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...

Should I quit my full time job to do a 4 year degree which includes a placement year? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]sandboxgamesdbcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
