Traders- merchant isles

A persistent multiplayer trading simulation prototype.

Watch autonomous captains sail between islands, trade goods, and influence a changing economy. The world continues to evolve over time, even when you are not watching.

This early version focuses on testing the core idea: a living world where independent traders create movement, supply, and demand.

Current MVP features

  • Autonomous ships travelling between islands
  • A persistent shared world
  • Basic economy simulation
  • Independent captains making trading decisions

Feedback wanted

This is an early prototype. I am looking for feedback on the core idea:

  • Is watching the world interesting?
  • Does the economy feel alive?
  • What would you like to do as a player?
  • What feels unclear or missing?

Thanks for trying Traders.

Won't go; can't register.

Register is fixed, sorry for any inconvenience

Well.  Now I can register... and then it halts at an empty blue screen.  I reload the page and do Login... and it just clears the fields and returns the login prompt.  I get a strong impression that no effort has been made to test this thing.  That being the case I have to assume the same care has gone into its code and design.

hi clemclone,
