Project Initiated

Ah, yes – slurping coconuts in Thailand and enjoying fantastic street food here and there. I spent my days walking around the city and checking out interesting places. Weeks passed by, and although working remotely is nice, I found myself growing bored. Playing my beloved Apex Legends with my buddies in Europe is impossible due to the high ping.

Then it struck me: there’s a browser game I used to play back in the day! What was its name? T... the? The Dark Millenium. Oh, and I almost forgot—it was taken offline because the developer got drunk a bit too often. So, why not make my own game? Besides, I need to learn Symfony anyway.

And with that, my browser game was born! Right now, it’s running on my trash domain, faccs.de, and on my €3 web service, but I’ll move it to my Hetzner root once I make further progress.

I decided to go with Symfony 6, PHP 8.1, and nginx. The initial progress includes:

• Basic Layout set
• Galaxy buildup & formula set
• Construction mechanics
• Research mechanics

Stay tuned - Gruss and STS - Star Sheriffs und Eiswolf!
