I wish you success! And hopefully you don't end up disappearing like SpatialOS. They tried very hard promoting its capacity for large scale MMO, even published a game (Scavenger IIRC?) made with it.
There are Chinese patents on "A Drag-Type Submarine Cable Cutting Device and Its Cable Cutting Method" and "A Deep-Sea Optical Cable Submarine Shearing and Salvaging Device"
In 2021, a Chinese MMO 天諭 (Revelation Online) introduces an "Elvish" in the game as the language of elves[1].
People later discovered that the "language" was actually not a newly constructed language but Chinese in plain Bopomofo (Mandarin Phonetic Symbols).
It is said a Taiwanese member in the development team came up with the idea. The difference of transliteration system between China and Taiwan made it a viable and interesting idea.
As the main remaining user of Bopomofo, many Taiwanese found it amusing thus it went viral and became a meme in Taiwanese internet culture.
Today, justfont, a type design studio in Taiwan, took on the meme and released Elffont, a Bopomofo font which turns Bopomofo symbols into fancy Elvish characters.
This font is free to use without further notice, and can be used for commercial applications. The font itself can not be modified, sold or re-released.
I was working in a a 2-3 men group, which the manager of the tram directly reports to the big boss for the company.
The so called "tech dev team" are responsible for all sorts of tasks, for example exploring new tech, prototyping, supporting product team with optimization or content production.
We had been supporting system design and development in a new Unity (game) project for half a year, things were fine, and then the project got frozen/archived/cancelled.
And the reason was simple, our big boss wanted to svalr new heights! Something just like the one he made ~20 years ago and still feeding the company. He wanted to concentrate resources on this new ambitious project of his.
So that was it, the end of a 10+ men project, we got assigned to different task then. And then again. Then again.
Sometimes we just experiented techs. Sometimes we worked on projects that is not promising at all from our view. Sometimes we took over a good project and altered it into a abomination.
As my first job in my career, I'd say it certainly harmed my passion. I really really hope I can works on something poilsitively meaningful and impactful/useful to the world or even just certain audience.
I am probably only qualified as junior go/.net developer, but if there's such opportunity please let me know.
So after checking thoroughly on MS account site I confirmed that it tells you go to billing@microsoft.com for these kind of issues and the mail address is not receiving mails.
I will be very surprised if it's not something wrong on my end that the billing support is not accessible for such a big corp.
