Warpkeep

Warpkeep is an open-source persistent strategy world where a Farcaster identity becomes a permanent castle.

Genesis 001 is an invite-only Lowlands realm. Its 10,000 cells, roads, forests, resource sites, and 100 castle foundations are shared by every player. A founder's keep stays in the same place between visits, carrying a public name and portrait while ownership and private resources remain server-controlled.

Alpha 0.3.11 introduces the first visible gathering choice: founders can send separate wagons to Gold Mines, Wheat Farms, and Logging Camps. Stone still comes only from a keep's terrain yield; Quarry art is visual groundwork. Construction, armies, combat, trade, and the wider strategy loop are not playable yet.

Warpkeep is currently developed by one person with community feedback. It is an experiment, not a financial product: Alpha participation earns no airdrop, guaranteed reward, or promised financial return. Community Marks are separate in-game accounting with no live spending, transfer, or cash-value loop.

What is live

• A persistent 10,000-cell world with 100 permanent castle sites.
• Farcaster sign-in, invite-only founding, and one durable keep per player.
• Public castle names and portraits with private ownership records.
• Private Food, Wood, and Stone terrain yield, plus expedition-earned Gold.
• Server-governed Gold, Food, and Wood expeditions on shared map sites.
• A shared forest, procedural grass, responsive WebGL rendering, and accessible fallback navigation.

The browser presents the realm. SpacetimeDB decides admission, ownership, balances, routes, timers, and expedition outcomes.

Run locally

Prerequisites: Git, Node.js 22, and npm 10.

git clone https://github.com/ael-dev3/Warpkeep.git
cd Warpkeep
npm ci
npm run dev

The local app does not grant shared Alpha access. Before contributing, run the checks in CONTRIBUTING.md and read the asset provenance rules; protected source packages are not part of a normal build.

Architecture

• React, TypeScript, Vite, Three.js, and responsive CSS power the client.
• A Cloudflare Worker verifies Farcaster sign-in and issues least-privilege, short-lived credentials.
• SpacetimeDB owns the persistent world and private player state.
• GitHub Actions verifies the client, auth bridge, database module, generated bindings, migrations, dependencies, licenses, and asset contracts.
