Early Minecraft was made by a single person and was in development for 2 years before it released (and had a fully playable game loop even before then).
SC has $700 million dollars, hundreds of devs and still hasn’t released anything as feature rich or playable as MC in 12 years. It’s fair for people to expect more at this point
I think you’re cooking here, maybe you can get a government grant to fund this
It’s very easy to make a mechanical clone of the game if someone wanted to play it.
This is purely about greedy crypto bros trying to grift off of Flappy Bird and using legal loopholes to steal the trademark
I think this is the patent IBM is suing over
Seems to be about pre-loading ads to a user’s device. As with most software patents, it sounds like the vaguest possible wording that covers about a million things
Posted in the fandom thread but MTGZone.com is around if you enjoy Magic the Gathering
!MTG@mtgzone.com - main community
!Spoilers@mtgzone.com - new card reveals
!art@mtgzone.com - MTG artwork
There are also format specific communities for Standard, Modern, Pauper, Commander, etc… but they don’t see as much use
Man, what a mess. This site was doomed to fail
MTGZone.com for all things Magic the Gathering
!MTG@mtgzone.com is the main one but !Spoilers@mtgzone.com is hopping with Duskmourn reveals right now
Edit: also !art@mtgzone.com if you just want to see some pretty pictures
Even after Automattic acquired it, the site continued to lose money at a rate of $30 million each year, the company’s CEO Matt Mullenweg had said.
I still wanna know what they’re spending all that money on, because I’m sure it’s not developers or even servers. The idea that they can only be profitable if they’re constantly growing their user numbers is an investor idea that’s doomed to fail eventually and why so many social media sites are crashing right now
Wait, a solo dev with no experience other than RPG Maker games is making a highly detailed first-person 3D open world tactical strategy RPG with character customization, romance options and branching narratives? Sounds a little too ambitious to be true
I still crave shooters but don’t seem to have the time for online multiplayer anymore. I want to try stuff like Ultrakill and Selaco nowadays
Does anyone really want another generic hero shooter though? It’s not like we’re at a loss for options
C’mon dude, cartoon animals doesn’t cover the amount of suspiciously similar Palworld color schemes and proportions we’ve seen compared to Pokemon like Cobalion/Lilligant/etc
I can only assume that the issue is that they’re trying to reduce the number of calls to the original instance. If you’re just scrolling by, you only see the post that’s cached on your own server, and it doesn’t communicate with the original instance until you open the post. Making it so that every time some scrolls by a post it contacts the original instance sounds like it massively increases the amount of traffic to the original instance which goes against the idea of software that supports smaller, self or community hosted servers.
And then they’ll cancel anything they didn’t spam the front page with and blame it on low viewership
It was originally given away for free
Pixelfed is the federated alternative, not sure if it’s open source though
Aside from the fact that this is IGN, this amount of consolidation is really bad for the industry
Because those pages had information that wasn’t on the new pages?
Just from my own experience, WotC migrated the Magic the Gathering site to a new one, and while some articles were brought over there were a whole lot of stories, strategies and event coverage that were lost or are only available thanks to Archive.org
Is Signalis considered cyberpunk?
