Welcome to STEERJOCK DEVELOPMENT SITE

Figured out how to make the stars on the forum toggle and record to the database.

I don't want to mislead folks on the status of this site.

Priority

To be very clear, developing this site is in no way whatsoever, a priority at this time. I'm not pushing it and not promoting it.

The last time Showcattle made as much in a year as Livesockjudging.com made in the first two weeks of this year was in 2019. It is where my focus is and it is where my focus will remain.

This game is currently a way for me to change gears from time to time and learn C# .NET Core development.

Current Status

It's not even close to being within reach of being ready to play. You pretty much can't do anything at all in the game.

Game Model

All I know is it won't be a feedlot game. There might now be payment for sending cattle to town at all.

You're going to see site ads for a while until I get it configured properly.

I started writing these sites with VBScript back in 2001, about the time that started going out of style.

Rather than being lazy and staying stuck to that programming language, I'm going to start over from scratch on this site and switch everything to C#.

All this really means it's another month or two added to development time.

Updated the chat a bit.
