Congratulations! I've been working on a browser-based MMORPG inspired by OSRS ( https://news.reconquer.online/ ) What method did you use to reach out to streamers for sponsorship? Was it through email or through some oth

Ask HN: Are YouTube and other Google services this bad, or is it just me?

Yes, game dev and developing software for personal projects. Corporate world is insufferable.

It's been pretty stable today since I fixed my email service.

Not much compared to just about any completed game, but hopefully the framework is there. You can talk to NPC's and do all their quests/tasks/riddles etc and do the goblin boss fight and quest. There is a lever-door puzzle in

Thank you for the offer on the short notice! I ended up getting verified with the other service and am happy to enter have a little stability now. I will check out mailpace though!

Chick and egg problem with email providers. Prove you're not spam by having actual customers, then we'll allow you to send more than 100 emails.

Just switched to an actual transactional email service so it might actually work for a bit. (oops, still need to get verified to send more than 100...)

We need more "fun" places on the internet. It feels so dreary and manufactured most of the time.

Turned out to be my email service blocking me for "suspicious activity". Error logs weren't helpful for some reason. I didn't realize my server would crash if it couldn't do an initial connection to the email server

Root cause of the issues: Trying to connect to an SMTP service to send OTP's that began to block me after "suspicious activity".

Decided to disable email in code and try again. Not too optimistic but we'll see. Signups will fail, logins might still work if everything is cached.

Giving up for today. I think I reached a SMTP email limit and that's causing failures elsewhere related to TCP connections. I'll look into it tomorrow. Thank you for all the feedback! There were 5000+ successful logins! I think I

Adrenaline rush from firefighting. Just changed some TCP settings. Let's see how she does now.

Thank you! I think, like you said, a good strategy will be to keep it fun and hobby-like as long as possible. I can definitely see the business-side of it sucking all my time and energy. I think doing some educational materials will be a wo

That's above my paygrade I think. All my logic is rule based at the 600ms tick level. If you pick a berry, each tick take one step closer, then do a pick animation, then add the berry to your inventory and remove it from the bush. The

Do you have any suggestions? Your game seemed very popular. Anything you wished you had focused more on?

Nice job with Genfanad! That looked like a really neat game. I don't have a good plan for profitability other than try to keep my expenses as low as possible and see if I can find some way to scrape by in a year or two.

Sorry about that. I think it's back up. I'm wondering if it hit a TCP limit for the cloud provider or something. My first commit was 15 months ago, but I spent some time doing 3d modeling before that, and lots of other failed proj

Strange. Both servers at the system level stopped accepting TCP packets. It might've been my cloud provider trying to mitigate an attack. I guess I shouldn'tve killed the server. Putting it back up now.

by onemandevteam 2y ago
Looks like there is some sort of DOS attack =(

by onemandevteam 2y ago
It definitely is. Although I think their development decisions have been really bad and so there's openings for competition.

by onemandevteam 2y ago
Yeah, one odd mechanic is that other players can block you. Since everyone spawns at the same point, it's possible some people are getting boxed in.

It's definitely not bang your head against a wall frustrating. Just a lot of different things to do to make it work. People have said mobile works but I honestly haven't tried it yet. All my devices are too old to work with webgl.

by onemandevteam 2y ago
It's a very self directed game play. You explore the world, defeat monsters, fight other players, solve puzzles, and complete quests. Some people might focus on leveling up skills, others might just want to do the quests. You can talk

Thank you. I'll add a todo item to add a webgl detector and error handling
