Mars Themed Economy Game | ColonyConomy.com
I am working on a web-based economy game with simple yet challenging mechanics. The stack is based on Expo and React-Native supported with Gluestack UI components, with Convex on the backend side of course.
I would really appreciate any comment and feedback on it. Usually I have a hard time in taking criticism but this time it is for my personal development in both understanding user needs better and using Convex more efficiently.
For now only the development version is available until I have listened and fixed some initial user feedback: https://develop.colonyconomy.com
(Backstory and game mechanics have been intentionally left out here so that I can see what the site is missing for new users.)

Hey, Tried to play with it
1: doesn’t have a certificate. Should have a ssl certificate for security
2: i tried clicking different menu items but doesn’t work on phone
Hi Hmza,
Thanks for your time and feedback.
1) it does have a certificate but with "wrong" CN (colonyconomy.com), but I agree I should fix it.
2) could you be more specific which menu items did not work?
the menu at the bottom "Trading" etc.. when i click on one, it doesn't move or change the page.
Oh. Weird. I'll check it out on different devices then. (They worked in different simulators and iPhone.) Thanks for noticing.
I'm using Arc browser on a iphone. Didn't checked with safari or chrome. maybe i'll try with that again.
(Fixed the certificate issue. Thanks for remembering me. :))
Noice! Convex needs more game examples I rekkon
Heres some initial thoughts:
1. I really like this it reminds me of a game I used to play waaaaay back in the day.
1. After starting up the first colony I was given I couldnt establish it also had no stats for the planet, maybe a bug?
1. Could really do with some sort of tutorial or how to play as its hard to know what to do when you start
1. Having some sort of short term goals for the player would be good so I know what I should be aiming for
Keep at it tho mate, ping me when you have another version and want more feedback 🙂
Thanks for your time and your valuable feedback. Tutorials and initial (short term) goals are "must" - I'll put together them soon.
