Hey everyone,
Yeah, it's been about a month again... but now that Spooky Season is over, I'll have more time to keep up with this.
We've got a new Collection! It's called The Mandate for the "politician' Trait. Fortunately there are only 38 associated Crew, and they are all now included.
As you may have guessed, this wasn't as simple as adding the Collection to the corresponding Trait. At some point, Senator Cretak, The President of Earth, and General Martok received the "politician" trait - so they have been updated as well. It took me a minute to figure out that trait as well, since nearly every single one of these also included the "diplomat" trait. There are probably only two or three that do not.
It only occurred to me afterward that "diplomat" is already in the New Life and New Civilizations Collection.
I noticed that the newest iteration of the game is pushing the Web Store hard. It's now directly included in the Portal. I probably mentioned this before, but my guess is that the Unity Engine has some sort of usage clause that gives them a percentage of in-game purchases. Of course the game developer (Tilting Point) would then try to do what they can to not have to pay that. The problem is, at least as far as I'm concerned, is the arcane way you have to log-in to the Web Store. Having to enter my 15-digit game ID every single time is not worth 5%... sorry. Maybe I'm just lazy.
If I could just jump from the game to the Web Store, I'd be in... but it literally just opens up a web link.
We're coming up on the 10th anniversary of this game, which is pretty impressive. My program has been expanded many, many times - and the current version is only designed to handle 2000 Crew. Since we have over 1800 at this point, another expansion is on the horizon. I'm not complaining, since I think there were around 400 Crew when I started writing the base code.
