I’m building an async space opera throne room MMO with Replit Agent and I want to see how far I can get.

Current workflow:

* Using Claude (app) to plan and scope instructions for Replit.
* Replit to build and host and deploy the code and environment.
* ChatGPT for image gen (although I think it is not great— so looking for alternatives here, eventually would love to work with a real artist for the character portraits.)

Recently I played through “Yes, Your Grace” and it was the first game I’ve actually finished in a long time. It inspired me to pick up this old idea that I got stuck on.

For some context on my experience: I’m not technical. I’ve been around dev work for most of my career but actually writing code is something I was never able to get the hang of. My background is web design, filmmaking, and marketing. I can write the absolute basic HTML/CSS (thanks MySpace) and hack things together with copy & pasted solutions from Stack Overflow (R.I.P.)

Last year though, for work, I spend 4 months in Replit on the side of the rest of my job and built a functioning email tool. A competitor to MailChimp/Constant Contact for our niche— it’s now being used to successfully send 10,000+ emails a month and approaching $2k/m in monthly recurring revenue.

So I’ve been very inspired by what Replit Agent can do. Sometimes very frustrated by its limitations lol, but most of those can be worked around.

So this is my plan: try my best over the next few months to build a working version 1 of this space opera Throne Room MMO… and see what happens.

I’ll share the progress (the good and bad) here. 

Happy to hear ideas on what would make a game like this exciting to you (if anything at all). In a few days I’ll share a post with more details about the gameplay and setting + more details on how I built what’s here so far.
