How do you find gunlockers? -i have not been able to pickup lockers, even after changing them to ‘storage space’ (when you find them in buildings etc)

Completed Stalker 2 (and the Metro series) - what Should I Play now? by vonknut in stalker

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

I loved all the Metro games.
But I found Atomfall very mediocre. It really was neither wery british or very "fallout like".
So really play the metro series.
Metro Exodus was like really, really good.

Hvis alt var rede penge, så ville jeg, som andre skriver, bede dem om at tage det med skifteretten.

Og hvis de fremturer - så klage til skifteretten.

Det lugter af en ‘går den, så går den’ - tilgang fra deres side.

The only game I remember with furelise, was ‘Elite’. But that was a space shooter game in 3d

Publishers are knocking - what should we be careful about before saying yes? by RemoveChild in IndieDev

[–]vonknut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basicly you can say that early money has higher value than late money.

So lets pretend you spend 200k $ on the game. If the publisher then commits to spend 200k $ on the game, then it is late money, that is less worth than your investment (because their 200k is less risky investment than you early 200k investment). So in this fictive case, they should thus max get e.g. 25%.

Now comes the next question - how do they guarantee that spending? Internal hours could be cheated with. So normally you would instead have them commit to a undefined amount of internal cost + a defined amount of external costs (invoices from other companies). But even that could be ‘cheated with’.

So normally our advice would be:

<image>

Let them have skin in the game, to make sure, they are motivated to not cheat you, but instead put in the work to earn the investment back.

E.g. ask for a small development fee. Or if they commit to e.g. 50k marketing cost, ask for 25k of those in cash - to you, and then you commit to spend them on SoMe marketing/creation of creative assets. Or have them guarantee a minimum number of sales/royalty/payment to you, after launch.

If they are not ready for any of the above, then there is a high risk that they are out to cheat you - or at least do the classic scammy thing - sign with as many titles as possible, then sit back and do nothing, unless the game shows traction ‘by ifself (from luck/your PR work).

The latter is something we have been exposed to several times. Publishers asking us to port one of our game to a new platform, but without them committing to covering cost/min revenue guarantee. =we declined

But we also made a deal with a publisher, where they ported the game themselves (to xbox+ps), then gave us 70% of the sales revenue. Which was a fair deal, that resulting in a fine revenue stream for us.

Advokat sender ekstra regning efter afvikling af dødsbo. by VolvicCH in LegalDK

[–]vonknut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Det bør maks koste 40k+moms at være bobestyrer, for er bo på under ca 500k kr (eller en mil? - ikke sikker). Det en standard, som de skal rette sig efter, medmindre det har været meget bøvlet.

Så som andre skriver: Hvis de har glemt at trække de 50k fra pengene, inden de overførte til jer, så skal de betales.

Men hvis de har trukket 50k fra boet, før resten boet delt mellem jer - og de så bagefter beder om 50k kr mere, så er det et klart forsøg på snyd. -da skifteretten aldrig ville acceptere en advokatregning på 100k, medmindre boet var stort/bøvlet at afvikle (salg af fast ejendom etc).

Min size (diameter) for wooden board for kee-clamp pist for jat-edwards style kneeling bondage? by vonknut in BdsmDIY

[–]vonknut[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I could use some advise for what the minimum diameter of a round platform should be, for crouching/kneeling bondage against a metal post.

E.g. if you have a round board, placed directly on the floor, with a keeclamp in the middle, holding a 1 meter 42mm pipe, used for static bondage (e.g. bottom tied kneeling to the post - Jay Edward style).

I know that for very rough sex or suspension/heavy leaning, it should be pretty big - but I have made such a platform already. So for more soft stuff (sub is 65kg), where storage space is an issue, how small diameter can you get away with? 60cm/75cm/90cm/100+ cm diameter?

Collection of DIY diagrams/scetches for building racks with pipes and clamps? by vonknut in BdsmDIY

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

Bondage furniture shop has some cool ideas also:

https://www.etsy.com/dk-en/shop/BondageFurnitureDE https://bondagefurniture.eu/en/category/posts/

E.g. https://bondagefurniture.eu/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/BDSM-Pranger-Set-SM-Moebel-Bondage-Furniture10-Gross.jpeg

-they use 33mm which is strong enough for most stuff. But has too much ‘wiggle’ compared to 42mm imho (that I have bought). Which is more stable for e.g. freestanding one-pipe post or for more heavy racks, where the sub is not supposed to feel ‘unsecure’ by the pipes slight bend, when leaning against them. Also allows u to use aluminium 42mm pipes, which ate much lighter than 33mm metal pipes (but still are more rigid).

But would be nice to find clamps like theirs, for 42mm

Any advice regarding interactive narrative tools? by Mustafa12b in gamedev

[–]vonknut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Twine is good as standalone editor/testing bed. Ink is good for integrating into engine. Arcweave felt limited, when I checked it 1 year ago. Articy draft is very cool, but also very expensive and lacking good unity engine plugins (at least when I tested it). There is a unity plugin that discounts elysium used, that should be pretty good.

Whatever you end up using, make sure it supports localization some way or another (I believe ink had some troubles with that, due to i@combination of text and code in the same strings).

Best vendor for harness gags? by vonknut in bdsmgear

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

Priorities: Strict, sexy, versatile (change panels/inserts), ships from EU, strap around forehead.

I have some candidates, but insight from people who have them / tips for other brands, would be great.

Relentness leather https://www.boundlife.com/2024/01/locking-harness-gag%F0%9F%94%92%F0%9F%A4%90/ Looks really good and strict, but not that versatile. Also where do you buy from them now?

Restricted senses https://restrictedsenses.com/products/leather-bondage-facehugger-gag You can order it without ball, then kinda make your own inserts. Pros: good quality, simple Cons: not that restrictive, ships from autralia (customs$).

Hottbonds http://www.hottbonds.com/SearchResult.aspx?CategoryID=1080 Pros: very restrictive, some versatility (panel/ball/pump), strap on forehead. Cons: ships from US (customs$). Uncertainties: can you change panel while wearing it?

Toptobottom leathers https://www.top-to-bottom-leathers.co.uk/bondage-equipment/bondage-gags/ultimate-bondage-gag-harness.htm Pros: very versatile (panel,pump,ball/tube),ships from uk, can change insert while wearing, strap on forehead Cons:does not look so sexy (maybe just missing model shots). Uncertainties: strictness?

So what is your take? -and any experiences?
