Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Hi! As a sucker for web-based games (don't mind text-only games), I am always looking for new games which can be played in browser, but recently I found it hard to keep up-to-date with decent games, most lists in the internet compile the same 20 browser games with launch dates from 2009, where the playerbase is mostly dead. And yes, I am aware that browsergames are just dying out and this is one of the reasons for the dying playerbases. But, if you found any quirky (not the standard 4x-strategy games) web games, that deserve more love, I would love to try them out!

Here are some of my preferences:

  • medieval / fantasy genre (optional)
  • economic simulation (optional), but a simulation to some degree needed
  • micro management (1 person rather than a village; optional)
  • preferably long-term gameplay (see: Torn e.g.)
  • preferably released (new worlds/servers work too as "new release") within the last year

Games I somewhat actively play: Torn, ZedCity, MMArmy, GeoGuessr

Games I used to play a lot: Tribal Wars, The West, MMATycoon, SimCompanies

I know browsergamers are similarily smiled upon like mobile gamers, but I do hope you answer my call for help regardless! ;)

Any help is hugely appreciated!

Prosperous universe might fit the bill depending on how deep into economy sim you want to go. Beware that you have some limitations as a completely free player, that are removed (last I checked) after you've made at least one purchase. So think of playing "free" as an infinite demo.

this game seems very promising, I'll check it out later today. And I don't mind spending a coin or two to help the developers. Thanks for the recommendation!
