Traders - Merchant Isles
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,
yes i had to reset your account, i think your ok now
