GoonStreet
Closed testing
The online stock market MMO where the players are the market. Vote the price up, trade against your friends, and settle it in 1v1 and 2v2 battles.
- 4market types, from Index Fund (10% players) to Meme Stock (70% players)
- 7battle abilities, plus hidden events and paid intel
- 1company per player, with managers, departments and private chats
02How we build
Fast markets need a serious engine.
- Real time
- .NET 10 and SignalR push every price tick to every player the moment it happens.
- Money that sticks
- Every trade is flushed to an append-only journal on disk before any balance changes.
- Everywhere
- Blazor in the browser, plus a desktop build from the same code.
- Small and deliberate
- One issue per change, small pull requests, and a shared wiki updated alongside the code.
