Looking good from the screenshots! Keep up the good work!

Connection resets are 90% of the time a bad connection locally. The other option is pay attention when the server seems to go down, because connection reset could also be caused by server overloading (which would cause a very slow response from server causing connection timeout/reset). If it happens to be every hour or something I'd start at hourly crons if you have any. Could have an infinite loop causing a server decay over a timeframe or some sort of cleanup is failing to work thus taking up memory and causing a degradation

Never ran ads on reddit but have posted on the pbbg and webgames subreddits which have still to this day been the #1 player bringer Ads have been a pretty big dud in general but I'm probably just bad at creating attractive ads. 99.99% of my impressions were from one country and after some research were all bots. Just click farming costing me money. That was about a $300 experiment. Meta and Google ads

Isn't this way over thought? Couldn't you just have a basic users table with just username, email, password, whatever other basic stuff. Then it's done since both would have completely different data outside that? So essentially it's just one master login shared by both sites but they use whatever tables the engine did originally. Hell you could even prefix tables with gl_ or mc_ to guarantee uniqueness

Stripe is by far in my opinion the best. Supports so many languages and it's easy to work with. Webhooks are easy to set up. The testing stuff is a lot simpler, no dev account needed.

So I actually use docker too and on almalinux. You can install with through dnf the same as apt. The two package managers are basically a 1 to 1 conversion

For those of you have released a game, what did you find helped most to reach new players? So far my thoughts would be: Voting Websites On this topic too, is there a list anyone has of voting sites? Advertising Meta Ads, Google Ads, etc What other options have you explored to help your game grow?

Active players? Engine? Price? Literally any info?

Personally I still work on my projects and have a blast. Still love developing text based games BUT. If we are being honest I think losing marketplace here completely defeated the purpose of this forum. There's no updates to GL, MC, Spade, or anything because there's nowhere to publish them or even download them here so I think a lot of people gave up. I know there's the second site that's just a marketplace but that doesn't feel the same. I miss the one stop for everything that MWG once was

First just because it's driving me crazy: please please please check or clear those discord notifications ROFLMAO Second: if you're doing a SPA and worried about data refreshing (which is what I'm interpreting you are struggling with) I would suggest a websocket. This will make it stupid easy to keep data live in 2 ways: 1. You can either use a ping pong system and use that to get live data every second or whatever 2. You can use a message on the websocket to update data anytime anything changes. So for example. I have a user class that has all the getters and setters then whenever a setter is called it send a message to websocket to update. This works for both user driven actions and other player driven actions. 3. (This is what I actually use and recommend) A mixture of 1 and 2. The message that sends data on change (#2) will reset the periodic check (#1). So specifically I have a periodic check every 10 seconds but any live data message resets that timer Hopefully this makes sense. If you need any help let me know

Did you create a database and user for the database then update the config?

Oh of course! I didn't see he already fixed his issue. I was just trying to help him get through the check. I should've read his post a bit closer!

So I don't know anything of this engine, but usually if you right click the image then click inspect element there's a title or alt attribute in the element with the code

Good morning/afternoon! I am looking to have 3 images made: - Icon (1200x1200) - Landscape banner (1200x628) - Square banner (1200x1200) I'm very open to the style and contents of these, and do not really have anything in mind. If you do graphic design and you're interested let me know and we can discuss pricing/content of the images. These will need to look somewhat professional as they'll be used in advertising.

There's a lot to it but I'll give you the general outline to help you. 1. You'll need to create or append a settings table with the value you want for interest for donators and non-donators 2. You need a place to store the "last run" timestamp...id highly recommend a new field in the users table and handle all users individually, but you could also have one global timestamp (I'll be explaining as if you're doing the user table route from now on for ease of explanation) 3. Whenever you fetch the user run checks against the last run timestamp. For the timestamp if you have a 0 set the original to floor(time()/86400)*86400 to make it happen right at midnight server time. Want it every 24 hours? Do the following check for example if(timeNow-timestamp > 86400{ //Run it but store the above different so you know how many times to run it. //Increase the saved last run by 86400*timeToRun } 3a. If you have a users class it's best to put it there. If not put it in the main file (not sure what it's called) where you fetch the user id cookie or whatever or wherever you fetch the user information. You can fetch just the timestamp with a query and run the checks mentioned above Hopefully that makes sense and helps (Sorry on mobile don't know how to delete quote k meant to edit) Edit: I meant to mention I recommend you store and handle each user separately for the sake of speed. Easier to update one at a time as needed vs 300000 at once when there's only one user online if that makes sense? Only do what's needed rather than have one handle everyone
