Hey, space explorers and fellow gamers!


Imagine stepping into a universe inspired by the legendary BBS games of the pre-1994 era, like *Trade Wars* and *Ultimate Universe*. If those names ring a bell, youāre in for a nostalgic treat. And if they donāt, *Trade Realms* is your chance to experience the magic of classic space trading gamesāreimagined for a **24/7 multiplayer world!**
Think *Eve Online*, but simpler, more accessible, and **text/2D-based**. Itās a game where youāre the captain of a ship hired by the **Federation** to battle the **Cabal**āa faction threatening to dominate the universeāall while amassing wealth, power, and influence. And how you use that wealth and power? Thatās entirely up to you.

š Outfit Your Ship
Choose from **61 unique devices** (with hundreds more planned), including autopilots, warp-shielding missiles, fuel boosters, and planet production enhancers. Customize your ship to match your strategy.

Scout trading ports across the universe, **buy low, sell high**, and outsmart other players in the market.

Turn barren worlds into resource-rich powerhouses. But bewareāother players can **steal your resources** if you donāt defend them with cunning strategies and devices.

Use advanced tools like **plasma warps** and **gate flashes** to reshape sector pathways, create shortcuts, or hide your planets from prying eyes.

Venture into dangerous, **Cabal-controlled dimensions**. These high-risk zones promise incredible rewards for the bold and daring.
š Discover Specialty Ports
The first 10 sectors feature **Federation Specialty Ports** that offer essential services like buying attack drones, refueling, upgrading your ship, and even rescuing you if youāre stranded (for a price, of course!).

Pick up these mischievous stowaways, and youāll need to visit the **Galactic Teamsters** to deal with them.

*Trade Realms* is still in **alpha**, and I need your help to make it the best it can be. Whether youāre a fan of old-school space games or just love testing new indie projects, **your feedback is invaluable**. Let me know:


š What youād change

Together, we can shape this universe into something truly incredible!
