Hello, I am planning to develop a browser game that would be called Street War. The game is about training your gangster by improving skills and then completing missions and capturing buildings on the street to collect protection money. Players could furthermore join syndicates to compete together against others and defend dominance over the city. There could be several servers in the game, each server is a city with the street to fight on. The following points would exist in the game:
- Training camp: train gangsters (strength, defense, skillfullness and endurance).
- Street: Capture buildings or challenge other players in battle. In addition, you can buy improvements for your own buildings to make the building more resistant to other players who want to take it from you. The more buildings you have, the more protection money you collect. Money is important for other things like items or improvements for your buildings.
- Casino: In the casino you can send the gangster on a mission, which can also bring money.
- Item store: Buy new equipment for hands, head, legs, torso and feet to improve your combat skills for fighting for buildings
- Syndicate: The area where players join together. In the syndicate there is a chat for players, a locker for money and a storage for items. Also, as a syndicate you can bribe the police to get more advantages (e.g. in combat).
- Players can send messages among themselves
It would not be a classic text RPG, but a browser game controlled by a menu and buttons. Also, there are no premium options planned. The question I am asking myself now is if there is any interest in browser games at all.
Thanks a lot in advance for your answers. Manuel

this kind of thing
this kind of thing is better suited to an app, not a brouser. thewse datsm people playing games, most on the site anyway, would rather apps than brouser games I think. for me personally, i’d as well gravate to an app than a brouser for this perpose.
This kind of thing already exists.
I think the game was/is called mobsters?
What makes this unique?
My question is, what would be unique about this game?
there are already a lot of browser based games like this kicking around, mobsters, torn city maffia x, even http://www.vandettacrime.net/ which is run by a visually impared team and is especially accessible.
I'm certainly not against the idea, but there would need to be some unique mechanics or ideas behind this game specifically to let it stand out from the others.
I checked the manual of…
I checked the manual of vandettacrime and it sounds not very similar to my plans. But yeah, I think an app would be better for easier access to the game. I'll think about that and maybe I go for an iOS app.
I decided to turn this…
I decided to turn this project into an app in the future. However, app development is much more complex than making a browser-based experience. You have to develop the app itself using Swift and SwiftUI, implementing an HTTPS service for authentication, account mangement and transaction control between the clients (app instances) and the server with the database. The backend part is not the problem, but I'm not the best in SwiftUI and all the iOS-specifics.
