They are all collectively the king and take turns wearing the crown every other day going from Zoq -> Fot -> Pik, except sometimes they aren't sure who is the Fot and who is the Pik.

Also what's up with "one word and we stop". Are you saying if I reply to the email you'll stop? What if I want to accept the offer? Is this a threat or a reward??? We could write better spam than this! C'mon!

Friday Finance Tip! Tired of replying "stop" or "opt-out" to relentless spam emails? Try responding with "Hold! What you are doing to us is wrong! Why do you do this thing?" It's just as ineffective but ten times as fun, and maybe you can poison a robot somewhere to regurgitate the phrase!

Stupid B2B spam email 1: Hi Dan,
Equipment fails at the wrong time, never the budgeted one.
The work does not pause while you sort it.
A line you draw on only when you need it covers that.
Can we put 15 minutes in next Tuesday?
Regards,
Willa King
Business Lines Desk
P.S. One word and we stop.

Stupid B2B spam email 2
Hi Dan,

Is Pistol Shrimp planning a second location before the next busy stretch?

Our partners cover the build out for businesses in your industry.

Can we arrange 15 minutes next Tuesday?

Kind regards,

Frungy is more of a megagame. The Ur-Quan Masters and Children of Infinity are really just a minigame in the Frungy megaverse. That's what the Pik said, anyway.

Supporting Children of Infinity (aka star control 2-2) is honestly an ideological issue now. If you believe in ownership of games that will not disappear at a platform holder's whim, you should support the games that put the players first.

There can be a sad, isolating factor to success or notoriety, where humility and “being human” is worn out on both sides. For the creator, you are used to people nodding your head at whatever you say. Likewise, someone working alongside may not be willing to offer contravening perspectives.

It's a quite old release, but there's an early version of Simple that you can play with too! Additionally, some wonderful volunteers in our community have built and maintained a procedural planet art generation tool we use as an addon in Godot.

Did you know how much cool tech makes our demo go? The game players see is all running from Godot, but we have a custom gdExtension which provides access to Simple, which is Fred's totally custom, multiplayer, gameplay building solution that provides serverless, peer-to-peer networking.

We are aware that many of our players wish to steer their ships with the joystick in the "classic" style. We are working on supporting this feature for the next build, but enabling it will play a short clip of someone who isn't used to it crying while trying to play The Ur-Quan Masters. Enjoy!

We cannot address everything because time is finite, we're only two people, and this is also a demo. By the time we have a full game, we will be able to put more features in because it's a full game and it's also supporting any continued work financially.

Yes and maybe! This is our first chance to collect a lot of data. We are working on the more egregious errors folks have been encountering and the most common feedback from people (e.g. alternate steering on controllers). Giving us feedback is the most helpful thing people can do right now!

Top reasons to check out our free combat demo: 1) frantic 1v1 top-down combat with 38 totally unique spaceships 2) play solo, local multiplayer, online, or on LAN 3) runs on windows, mac, and linux 4) be/shoot aliens from The Ur-Quan Masters & Children of Infinity 5) a bird will insult you in-game
