I never said that any birth rate was good or bad. I only said that if population increases, and currency supply does not increase, you will experience deflation (and that slight inflation is easier to achieve than aiming for balance and ending up too low).
Tell people to stop having more than 2.1 kids, then. As long as the population increases, without making changes to the currency supply, money is going to become more scarce. Keeping it exactly in line is impossible, so it’s better to keep a small amount of inflation.
That is, in fact, how game engines work, if the game logic and renderer are decoupled. Usually they’re not too tightly coupled in the first place, but Unreal is specifically designed to be used in more than just games.
Not really. The user has full control over the PC, and they could completely image and restore the whole drive. There’s no way you could detect that without an outside reference point.
Probably not the only one, but there’s not very many of you, because there are plenty of engines. Unreal, Unity (rip), and Godot are the big general-purpose ones, for good reason: they’re modern, powerful, and most importantly easy to work with. But there’s also Source, CryEngine, Frostbite, id Tech, and many more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_game_engines
No, that would probably be Valve. Several fan mods became full games in their own right (Counter-Strike, Black Mesa). Others were mods of non-Valve games (Team Fortress, Dota 2 (sort of)).
It took me a long time to realize that dying and respawning with extra lives was part of the main game loop. In most other games, dying is to be avoided.
Once I realized that, the game was honestly too easy.
If you invented a new and novel method of painting, like Jackson Pollock’s, you could potentially patent that. Directionally brushing has imperial buttloads of prior literal art.
The dev studio name is Reburn, since they buried it all the way down in the fourth paragraph.
