Sideralis — real-time economic strategy MMO in the browser (Earth to Io, player-driven market)

[TerraBravaStudio]

Hi everyone,

I'm the solo dev behind Sideralis, a persistent economic strategy game that runs in the browser, built at Terra Brava Studio in Brazil. It's live and free to play, and I'd love feedback from people who know this genre.

The idea

In Sideralis nobody owns the Solar System: the Concord of Nations grants operating licences. You run a corporation that starts on Earth and expands to the Moon, Mars, the Asteroid Belt, Titan and Io. You extract raw materials, refine them, manufacture higher-tier goods and ship them between bodies on cargo routes. The world runs 24/7 and keeps going when you close the tab.

What you actually do

- Build and upgrade extractors, refineries and factories across six locations
- Trade in a player-driven market where the price is set by the people playing
- Run logistics: permanent cargo routes between planets and moons
- List your corporation on the Exchange and buy shares in other players' companies
- Research, build ships, join an alliance, spy on rivals
- A short guided tutorial takes you from your HQ to your first sale in a few minutes

Monetization

No pay-to-win. Nothing on sale raises production, attack or score. The store sells time (an accelerator) and an analytics panel, and that's it.

Players shape the roadmap

There's an in-game ideas board: players suggest and vote on what comes next, and every suggestion gets a public answer, including when the answer is no.

Where it is now

Early days: the server is open and the population is still small, which makes this the best moment to shape it. I'm especially interested in where you lost interest in your first session, and whether anything made you want to come back.

Thanks for reading!
