Hi there, i am now a retro indie game developer for a long time (>15 years). Beside other things i developed a real-time browser game, a card game and more. I did it all without a contracts to publishers (which is pretty hard - and naturally without any monetary payoff).
For the last 6 years i worked on a fully libre-open-source textbased, sandbox-style, storydriven, retro-style cyberpunk network-sandbox game.
The game is text-based, so… there is no much to show, but i post a screeny below(https://retrolemmy.com/pictrs/image/c6442b29-988d-432f-8a9b-91706540aea5.png)
The game is ready for deployment and a real gem (i am very proud of it!). It just depends linux and some super-basic command-line tools.
It is 100% libre-open-source and very cleanly written and it has a tranparent build-system (means: the user builds an chroot-app on his/her computer) - which makes as safe, as your system. It runs in a isolated cgroup-enviroment via bwrap. It should build on any linux distro and run “on a toaster” (sbc is enough)
To host this, a git repo would be the best solution. (A static html-page would be enough for that - check the style of the suckless static git-pages: https://git.suckless.org/dmenu/log.html)
BUT… i have no phone (and i don’t intend to get one) -> it looks like, that it is impossible to host a git repo without a phone.
I am searching for a hosting solution, without the need to have a phone.
Or better: I search for a partner that would host this project with me. The project itselft is (naturally) free of charge and libre-open-source. Could be part of a git-page-presence or a simple static html-subdomain.
I really think that this is a really cool underdog indie game which will bring some prestige to the hosting partner.
Pls. tell me your thoughts and suggestions.
PM me if you have interest in a cooperation.
thx in advance


Good luck with the game!
… the game has just begun…
edit: … first comes first, happy hacking 😜
