Hi from Brazil — solo dev building a feedback-based browser MMO

[TerraBravaStudio]

Hi everyone!

I'm Filipe, a solo dev from Brazil (Terra Brava Studio), building games around a full-time job. I grew up on browser games like OGame, BiteFight, TheCrims, and that genre never really left me.

My first try was Bellum Astrum, an open-source space game I built as an experiment: the players were AI agents instead of people, which taught me a lot about server-side simulation and game loops. The code is on GitHub: https://github.com/FilipePacheco73/Bellum-Astrum

A game with no human players isn't much fun to run, though, so I rebuilt the idea from scratch for real people. I wrote about that journey here: Medium Post

The result is Sideralis, a real-time economic strategy MMO in the browser. It's live, and I posted it in Game Projects: Make Web Games Post

Full disclosure, since it comes up here: AI wrote the code and drew the art, but it didn't make the game. The design, the rules and every decision are mine. AI is what lets one person with a day job ship something this size.

What I really want Sideralis to be is a feedback-based game. There's an in-game ideas board where players propose and vote on what comes next, and every suggestion gets a public answer, including the no's. The roadmap is built on that.

Happy to be here, and keen to play your games too. Which browser game hooked you first?

Welcomee Filipe... For me, it was Ghetto Games, OGame, Land of Destruction, Urban Dead, NightCreeps and Space Universe.

Nice to hear, in fact I didn't know that existed so many PBBG. From those I only knew OGame, ah I also played eRepublik.
