Merry Christmas, all the best for 2025 - thanks for the 16 year reminder. 🙂

I pop back every couple of years to see what has/hasn't changed. As evident by this post. 🙂

Glad to see it. 👍

I created a few things for this, both internal modules and external tools ( I think I’ve still got the module viewer tool too, could implement into wiki or whatever) if it gains any traction give us a shout and I’ll dig out everything I did and send across to use/modify at will. Sorry likely not to be of much further use (aha) but I’d like to see this re-emerge I quite enjoyed this engine in its first iteration.

This is still on the table should anyone be interested, I’ve not received any interest yet - I wonder if another approach would be to buy a couple of things like 12m hosting, GL license and do sort of a random number lottery style thing instead?

Okay… onlyfans subscription of your choice too! 😂

Admin team: sorry if I’m putting this in the wrong place. I had a thought, and whilst I’m not an active part of this community it was my home for many years so I’d like to give back. do any of you budding game developers have a project in mind that you would like to bring to fruition? But maybe need that little bit of support (cost of living, financial crisis, young and broke etc) I’ll like you to tell me your project idea (for the sake of clarity I don’t have any intention of getting back into game development or any kind of development in general so I’m not here to steal your ideas) I am only going to pick one of the projects but I would like to support one of you by either finding a years worth of hosting from these kind folks at MWG that now provide hosting, or by purchasing a license to one of the game engines available - I think this is only MCCodes and GL at the moment that offer paid versions. alternatively if you have all these things but need a domain I’m happy to change it and get a domain for 2 or 3 years for you. Just my way of giving back to the community and hopefully helping the next generation of youngsters getting into the game dev scene. equally if you can think of something else I can provide I am happy to consider - not sure of the learning platforms these days where you can subscribe to get tutoring etc but happy to consider it. forgive any grammatical errors, on phone - giving me a hard time at the moment. please note with any of these no money will change hand I will purchase these and transfer ownership rather than getting money for your sex drugs and rock and roll from me. Edit: will promise to check back regularly unlike my once every other month.

Any reasoning behind your choice of packages? (For those of us that have been on the slide lines for years what’s MUI, the benefits etc? ) all the best with your project looking forward to seeing what you produce, will this be a paid for engine or have tiers of releases etc?

Thanks mate good to see you all still around. Good to see the peeps still here 15 years on haha even if it’s just like me lurking around to see if anything has changed!

Yes bro! 😁

Am I safe to assume you mean around software/web development? I think it's likely down to personal experience, drive etc but also potentially location, job market, what division you're going into and really what you want to do as a career. I would probably say formal qualifications are getting less significant as we move forward and a lot of the initial getting your foot in the door is what you can show you can do ( ala: contributions to projects, your own projects, portfolio ) once you get your foot in the door then it's your own determination that'll lead to future promotions. Personally I hold a business management qualification and a bachelors in computer science, ironically my job (rather than career, but long time job) has nothing to do with either business management or computer science ( workforce deployment and management for a NHS teaching hospital ) so I am probably not the most qualified to answer. Arguably though the experience you'll gain at college or university ( if its a brick and mortar one ) is probably one you'll enjoy and look back on fondly providing it's something of interest to you and will help you in future employment in some shape or another but it wouldn't be strictly necessary. I would look at career options what interests you in software production and go from there look at jobs and what they require, look at the requirements of the role - if you can demonstrate you've done what the role requires and are proficient, then formal education would likely take a back seat. Regardless of what you decide or where you go, I wish you best of luck and hope you manage to settle into something you enjoy!

Rather than create a new post boosting my non-existent ego - I may be back around for a bit ( though the last time only lasted a month or so and then 3 years went by so who knows ) I hope the posse are still alive and kicking! ❤️

Welcome back Cronus nice to see ya around again. SRB love ya babe ❤️

Guess I'm considered to be alive (I think... existential crisis maybe averted) :)

It’s quite straightforward I’d recommend just messing around with it following the guides available ( some docs not quite descriptive enough so requires a little digging into the source ) it’s (v5) written in typescript which may help you in its readability. Always around if you get stuck or need a nudge. 🙂
