But Godot Engine "can do consoles" for a few years now. W4 Games isn't the first to provide a solution for this, nor will they be the last, due to Godot's MIT licensing.


Problem: nothing is really confirmed, no source has been provided. People just assume it is, because of the poster's status in the Godot Engine community.

There was a rumor going around based on a single screenshot from a 3D artist which in the mean time vanished.

We all can still make educated guesses as to what was Godot Engine's role in this project and to what extent it was actually used.


Someone has apparently extracted some of the game files and confirmed it. But let's wait and see.


Would it be possible to work remotely from Europe?


Always used it while ddveloping database connected apps in Eclipse. Never let me down.


Quality/higher-end cassette players for playing generally lo-fi music? Something's wrong here.

I mean, in the article one guy says that he managed to compress and put 3 songs onto 1 floppy and was satisfied with the listenable end result.


Maybe it was all 8-bit?


Dithered 8-bit is approximately the same / slightly better noise floor as a cassette anyway, so if that's the market they're trying to compare to it's "reasonable". (Still silly as hell IMHO, but whatever makes people happy!)


Thanks for this list. Am in the process of looking for contract work.

One interesting thing is that most sites target freelancers as single people. What if I have a team of coders/designers (ie. a small software house) looking for clients? That's my current problem. Maybe will start a new thread about this.


A non-trivial number of the "freelancers" on Upworks are in fact project managers for larger teams. They'll act as the face of the project and handle communications, but the work will be done by others.

But I agree it would be nice if this was made more explicit, and even touted as a feature. In many cases I might feel more comfortable hiring a team consisting of two developers a graphic designer and a UI/UX expert as opposed to one person claiming to be an expert in all those fields.


You can find a B&W laser printer/color scanner combo with duplex & wireless in the Brother 2500 series. Model 2560 IIRC.


I wasn't familiar with it. Thanks for the link!


That really depends on the bank's offer, amount to be converted, etc.

A general question to a very specific case :)


"Somehow the Americans don't like wire transfer in Euros"

I'm really not surprised. It's the same with EU countries having to wire money to some non-euro currency.

Why not setup a US dollar account? After receiving payment in your client's currency, you can rather cheaply convert it to your own currency.

In my experience, US companies are interested in PayPal or TransferWise or other such methods only when for some reason wire transfer is not an option. I don't think you are in such a situation. Depending on the amount, using those services could be more expensive than handling a US dollar wire transfer with SHA (shared costs).
