New Age Cartel — Solo Dev Project & Public Beta Soon!

Hey all! 👋

For the past couple of months, I’ve been hard at work solo-developing New Age Cartel — a modern PBBG / text-MMO designed with a slick, responsive UI, deep player-driven economy systems, and custom artwork.

AI was used extensively in the game’s design and development, including most of the game design and systems planning.

Core features are coming together, and Public Beta testing will be opening soon! 🎉

Feature Highlights:

  • Central Dashboard: Real-time character stats, profile tracking, syndicate status, and daily login rewards.
  • Tiered Operations & Missions: Scale up from petty street jobs to high-tier syndicate operations
  • PvP & Rivalries: Target lists, stat-driven combat calculations
  • Underworld Training: Upgrade facilities from underground rings to private compounds to boost Strength, Guard, Agility, and Precision.
  • In-Game Stock Market: Dynamic market charts, corporate ticker tracking, and interactive investment portfolios.

What to Expect in the Beta

Looking for active feedback to polish things before the full release:

  • Balance & Economy: Testing progression pacing, combat formulas, and market balancing.
  • Multiplayer Systems: Testing group mechanics, territory battles, and community features under load.
  • QoL & Player Feedback: Ironing out UI flow, catching edge-case bugs, and taking feature requests.

If you enjoy modern browser games and text-based RPGs, keep an eye out for the testing link dropping soon. Would love to hear your initial thoughts or questions below!

    thanks for the questiosn first heist are cartel based so you have to perform heist with your cartel members , cartels are unlocked at lvl 15 so players dont need to worry about that and hesit are also time based depending on the risk tier for now i havent really implemeted deep features in teh heist as i would like to get players feedback first before implemeting what players might not like and as for the game it has 3 paths depending on your playstyle if you are a pvp main then their an enforcer path but it comes with some downside like you cant earn lot of cash like other paths so each path is built to suit a players playstyle but with the beta testing ill gather suggestions to improve the game more
