California Digital Age Assurance Act AB 1043

• New Requirement: All downloadable programs in California must be capable of requesting an age signal starting January 1, 2027.
• Penalty: Non-compliance can result in fines up to $7,500 per download.
• My Concern: Updating free games that generate no revenue is not worth the time or cost.
• My Plan: Removing all my games from itch.io before the deadline.
• Future Plans: Interested in releasing new games with age signal compliance but still researching.

Notes

• My long-term goal is to recreate the casino experience in VR. I would like to add multiplayer too so you can play with friends.
• My 11th game. 

V1.0

• 7-17-2021
• No known bugs

Technical

• Unreal Engine Version 4.23

Design

• I converted Epic Games Blackjack from a fixed 3D user interface to a movable first person interface.
• The scale of objects in Epic Games Blackjack, such as the table, cards, and chips are larger than the scale of the mannequin. For example, the cards are about the same height as the mannequin. In this game I fixed this by increasing the scale of the mannequin; however, this method causes problems in the movement of the mannequin. I tried to decrease the scale of objects to the mannequin but so far I was not able to get that to work.
