Re: Show HN: MoneyGame – Browser-based business simulation game
#12seems interesting and I've just signed up, but am I right in thinking that rent is automatically taken every day but money is not automatically earned? So if I have $100 and a $10/day rent and take 10 days without playing, I'll have $0 when I come back? If that's the case then it's a shame as it's rather offputting, which would be a shame as the concept is very appealing. Just asking for clarity.
Yes, that's how it works. Making $10 isn't that hard though, just check back a little more often than once every 10 days.

#13> realistic, fully player-driven economy. Got interested, but don't have time to play it right now or in the next weeks, so I'll probably never play it. --- A question: I've thought about "fully player-driven economy" (not necessarily realistic) games in the past, and my problem was that I wanted to have a nice and beautiful way to have winners and losers and concrete goals. The best solution I could imagine was: mak…
Tbh it's not really "fully" player-driven, there's still the magical government aspect in the game that sucks out money at one part and spits it out in another.

#14A short description: in this game you are on a quest to make as much money as possible. Income sources including regular pleb level jobs, speculating currencies/shares, running your own business and gambling. If you have any questions or proposals, I'm all ears!
If you add the ability for plebes to drink beer after work, I’d basically just be playing my own life haha

#16This is so similar to Football Manager simulation series. God knows how many years I wasted on it. No, I can't do that anymore...shouldn't do that...let me just try once....I'll eat dinner later....Washing your underwear inside out saves on game time.

it's not the difficulty that concerns me, it's that your game is arguably punishing me for not playing it every day. I know it's a common practice to try to maximise DAU on games these days but I won't be playing it if I'll be penalised for not being super-active. I still play http://urbandead.com/ because I can drop in every now and then casually.

#18Can I start the game with a small loan of $1million, so it can more accurately simulate real life?

#19I'd play with this if it had SSL enabled so I'm not passing info across the wire unencrypted :/
That's a bit of an embarrassing shortcoming for now. I'll try to get it fixed in the near future.
I'm curious, why lighttpd and not nginx?
Also certbot doesn't directly support lighttpd but you can still automate the whole Let's Encrypt renewal process with a brief script on top of it.

Been running this lighttpd server for ages for small sideprojects. One day I will have the motivation to switch this server to nginx as well.
