Right, I'm planning to launch my API-based, multiplayer online, space exploration game this weekend.
There is no client UI - this is a headless, build-your-own experience. I've been playing via a Postman collection and love it so far.
It's been 5 months in the making, and now I need to find some nerds that enjoy space-based simulation games where you mine for resources, build from a growing set of blueprints, and contribute to a humanity-saving exodus mega-project.
Where will I find some nerds who like hacking stuff to playtest this?
I'm struggling to playtest it myself. I keep getting excited by building networks between systems and end up hyperfocusing on some complex trade route setup that I forget I'm supposed to be testing it

@mercutio I make no promises, but it sounds interesting and I'd like to take a look if there's a place I can do so.

@mercutio
Up for the playtest

@mercutio It's an idea I've had in the past, and I'm very curious about it ! The only games I've known with API (on top of the web interface) are Nationstates (but not everything is doable via the API) and Neptune's Pride (but it's read-only).

@mercutio I think @pathunstrom and I have discussed this a few times

@mercutio I'm definitely thinking webhook to couchdb for advanced querying

@astraluma @mercutio yes, confirming "api based idle game" has been knocking around my to do pile for years. Happy to come experiment.

@astraluma Ooh, that's good thinking, plug a bot in to send yourself custom alerts. I was thinking of doing a terminal client where you can play and watch webhook notifications in real time

@mercutio if it's REST, I'd love to take a look.

@mercutio will/is the server code open-source?
-

@mercutio yeah, as soon as it's in couch, you get a lot of options for streaming and querying and processing
-
@mercutio will/is the server code open-source?
@16af93 Not in its current state, no. There are a few surprises in place for players when they reach the mid-game experience, and seasonal story content is built into the engine.
It's 100% on a path to being open-source eventually. I would love for people to take it in different directions and host themselves.
Everything I've done technically so far supports that with the dockerised environments and so on.

@jrdepriest It's REST in the popular sense of the term
Head to https://replicant.space/docs/quickstart/ and follow instructions. We have some players working on their own client interfaces, although I mostly play/test through Postman

@mercutio what tools are you using for development?
