Update on the game: progress on the login server has been made, not tested but according to the way python works it should run (will test it later today after I make a DIR for the main game server and a game server to communicate with and update the account client to send a login request).
I have decided on psuedo-kerberos security for the server, wont get much into it but I know what I'm doing. Packets so far are not encrypted but sensitive info will be (need to research python network supported encryption keys).
Partially related:
The game and my motivation to complete it (plus a few features I havn't made public yet) have gotten me admitted to a reputable university for a 1 year masters study (even without showing anything, and no prior bachelor).
Though the game itself will be relatively free-to-run due to my friend with his own server (and the fact I can actually run the server on my own computer too as I made it 'light wieght' [a benefit of not using Game Engines built for specific game types]) there is the fact that college costs dough. I'm not necessarily asking titan to donate (I hate asking friends) so if people here could help spread the indiegogo page to other online social networking sources I'd be greatful.
Remember the donations are for my masters degree, not the game, I have opted to "rent my self out" in 3D perks to donors (projects completed after my master's is finished and hopefully an alpha release or 2nd issue).
The game and my master's are combined now, so they will take priority over 3D perks but donors have been notified about that in story and perk texts.
Anyways I will be publishing the indiegogo page later today/tomorrow, heres a quick look at it:
http://www.indiegogo.com/project/preview/594e56b0suggestions are welcomed.
In addition my girlfriend has also been accepted for study at the same college, and her family can't cover her tuition or dorm fees so, yeah, I'm going to try and help cover it with the indiegogo page.
As for my work in China, I went through several jobs getting bumped to part time and then not getting called, I barely have any savings. My billionaire friend has decided not to continue the business for which he'd need my help so I haven't been in contact with him for a while. So I'm not able to afford the masters course as of now. will edit again or post later with the published indiegogo page, if you don't see it I haven't published it, so feel free to comment on changes.
