There's an old thread for this, but it's still reproducable on the latest WIP version: https://www.gamedev.net/forums/topic/715649-assertion-failure-const-string-asdf-10/Here's a minimal case that reproduces the problem and doesn't rely on any bindings:class Foo {}void Main() {const Foo f = 10;}

Amoriax is a tactical game based on Roman board games. The objective is to seize the crown in the middle of the board by tactical maneuvers. Classical board games of the ancient Roman type are based on the principle of simplicity. They are usually played with simple stones, have a minimum of rules and are easy to learn. Behind this apparent simplicity, however, there is usually a sophisticated and complex logic.Since there is no material disproportion in the game, as p

2024 had a lot of great movies of all stripes: Sci-fi! Action! Comedy! Animation! Thrillers! But there was one micro-genre that had a particularly noteworthy year: the primate picture.At least five movies about primates or with a primate in the title made it to theaters in 2024, and quite honestly most of them were worth watching. So it is on us to document the year in primate pictures, and play everyones favorite game: How primatal is that picture?Gladiator IIWhere to watch: For digital rental/purchase on Apple TV, Fandango at HomeThe picture: Ridley Scotts belated sequel to one of his most well-known movies, Gladiator II brought a star-studded cast back to Rome with mixed results.The primate: Dundas. A pet of Emperor Caracalla (Fred Hechinger), Dundas is eventually named (spoiler alert) first counsel by Caracalla, making him an extraordinarily powerful politician in Rome.How primatal is that picture? Not very. Dundas is a surprising minor thread Gladiator II pulls on, but not for long, and not in a major way. He also cant compete with Gladiator IIs killer baboons. (According to Hechinger, Ridley Scott has a thing for monkeys.)Monkey ManWhere to watch: Prime VideoThe picture: Dev Patels directorial debut is an interesting, if uneven, revenge thriller. But it hopefully launches the start of the taekwondo black belts action star career, as well as his career as a feature director.The primate: There is no literal primate in this movie, but Patels character Kid wears a monkey mask while competing in an underground fighting ring.How primatal is that picture? Also not very, but it ekes out Gladiator II by having the monkey be (a) the star and (b) in the title of the movie.Godzilla x Kong: The New EmpireWhere to watch: Netflix, MaxThe picture: The fifth movie in the Monsterverse franchise has Kong teaming up with Godzilla to fight fellow giant ape Skar King and the ice-breathing Titan Shimo.The primate: Kong is on the marquee, and the big man delivers (this time with a giant mechanical contraption on his hand all the better to punch with, my dears). But there are other primates: Antagonist Skar King is another giant ape, and Kong and the gang meet plenty of apes in the Hollow Earth.How primatal is that picture? Very! The big guy has to share top billing with Godzilla (which is an honor for anyone, to be sure), but this is definitely the most primate-centric entry in the franchise yet.Better ManWhere to watch: In theatersThe picture: The Greatest Showman director Michael Graceys biopic of Robbie Williams depicts the British pop singeras a CGI monkey. According to Williams, thats because they wanted the movie to stand out from the relatively stale genre of musician biopics, but it has some thematic resonance as well.The primate: Robbie Williams. Williams is not a primate in real life, but the device makes for both an excellent technical showcase and a handy metaphor for the isolation and infantilization of being a pop star.How primatal is that picture? Extremely. This movie has a primate on screen at almost all times, and looks damn good doing it. This was my personal favorite primate picture of the year.Kingdom of the Planet of the ApesWhere to watch: HuluThe picture: The fourth movie in the consistently good Planet of the Apes reboot takes place many years after Apes have taken over Earth, and follows an unlikely partnership between a human girl and an ape.The primate: Noa, the movies protagonist, is our lead primate. A chimpanzee and heir to his clan, he teams up with Freya Allans Mae to try and rescue his clan and take down the brutal bonobo leader Proximus Caesar.How primatal is that picture? The most! You cant get much more primatal than an entire kingdom of apes. And as has been the case with the entire reboot franchise, the apes look fantastic the legendary Wt FX, best known for its work on the Lord of the Rings and Avatar movies, worked on this movie as well as Godzilla x Kong and Better Man. They know primates.
