StealNow IO

A multiplayer game where income and theft are the same system. You build a base, buy things that generate money over time, and can walk into anybody else's base and carry their generators away — which means every player in the server is simultaneously an investor and a target. The interesting tension is the split of attention. Time spent raiding is time your own base is undefended, and the players who do best are not the most aggressive but the ones who time raids for when they have least to lose. Defences can be bought, and they buy time rather than safety — which keeps the pressure on rather than letting anybody settle. A base left alone for long enough always gets visited. Sessions are open-ended, progress persists within a server, and the arrival of a stronger player changes the whole lobby's behaviour. It needs a keyboard and mouse to move comfortably, runs on modest hardware, and fills with real players. Chaotic in the way that a game where everybody can take everybody else's things has to be, and better designed than the premise suggests.
