Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (April 2026)

I'm leaning heavily on simulation, economics, towns with real economies, and interweaving progression systems. It's a custom engine. I finally have the foundation built, it's multiplayer ready, and it currently loads in under 200MB. The idea is to be hyper efficient to simulate multiple towns that grow by themselves and you can trade and interact with.

It's a free-time project, but I will happily take investment and make it my full-time project. :) I have a game design-doc that I have built out, and I personally like it a lot. I believe in it's potential.

"The irony of Backstage is that it was created to prevent teams from having to reinvent the wheel every time, building and maintaining their own developer portal. But that's exactly what everyone does with Backstage."

We wanted something you configure,deploy,update. thats it.

service catalog, GitHub crawler, K8s entity discovery via k8s-push-agent, Forge + molds (scaffolding/workflows, like Backstage templates), governance, scorecards, cloud provider resources, license management, event based notifications, team-context aware, API keys with scope auth alongside session RBAC. CLI and Terraform provider too.

We're aiming to release Beta end of April.

I also make small games with Godot.
