A Hustlers Way

About This Project

🎮 A Hustler's Way — Beta Season 1 A fully functional multiplayer text-based mafia browser game with real-time economies, city-based travel, family wars, and a live stock market that reacts to player activity. Built with Next.js + Supabase + Discord bot integration. Playable on web, mobile, and Android (Capacitor-wrapped). ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💰 WHAT TO EXPECT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • 30+ criminal activities (pickpocket, shop robbery, car theft, drug lab, murder) • 7 heist tiers from convenience store to Fort Knox — with 4 tactical modes (standard, demolition, silent, getaway) • 5 US cities with unique drug prices, properties, and local flavor • Stock market (HSTLRWAY, HEISTX, CASROY, PHARMA, RACERZ, FAMPOW, TAX) wired to live game systems — crimes feed HSTLRWAY, heists feed HEISTX, drug labs feed PHARMA • Family system: shared bank, family power, territory wars, mercenary hiring • Laundering pipeline: 6 channels from laundromat (5min, 10% cut) to offshore (5h, 2% cut) • Real estate: buy houses, apartments, agencies — collect rent per hour • Business empire: grow houses, warehouses, underground labs — each with hourly income • Red Light District: hire bitches, place on streets or windows — hourly passive income per city • Casino: coinflip, blackjack, roulette, rock-paper-scissors, lottery, chip bank • Garage: buy/sell/tune cars, fuel system, junkyard for parts • PVP: murder system with detective hiring for intel, kill ledger, bounties • Police raids on drug stashes, heat decay, jail time with breakout skill • Friends, inbox (The Wire), online players, most-wanted boards • Achievements, rank system, rebirth, login bonuses (daily streak up to 30 days) • VIP store: gold bars, starter packs, boosters via Paddle checkout (live payments) • Fully bilingual: English + Dutch ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🧪 WHAT TO TEST ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1. NEW PLAYER EXPERIENCE - Sign up, complete the onboarding tour (10 steps including scroll-to-confirm policies) - Verify starter kit: $10K clean, $5K dirty, 500 bullets, 5 crypto codes, +5 strength, +5 defense, free car - First crime, first heist, first travel, first laundering batch - Does the game explain itself clearly? Where is it confusing? 2. ECONOMY BALANCE - Crime income vs laundering capacity vs spending — is the loop satisfying? - Street dealer drug prices: are they interesting enough to travel? - Bank interest: 2% after $5K or $10K? Does saving feel rewarding? - Stock market reactions: buy/sell, does TAX track government payments? - Gold bar pricing: €4.99-$19.99 packs — value for money? 3. GYM TRAINING (NEW — just landed) - Strength/Defense/Breakout at Gym: $1K + 25 stamina + 15min cooldown - Breakout is chance-based (60% base) — does it feel fair? - Jail exit: breakout training at Gym vs breakout attempt inside Jail 4. PROPERTY & BUSINESS SYSTEMS - Buy property in current city only, collect rent, manage businesses - Weekly business performance income — does it trigger correctly? - Grow house: water plants, watch % grow, harvest or destroy - Drug lab: demand model — is the 4-hour drug route interesting? 5. MOBILE RESPONSIVE - Play on phone — does everything fit? Drawer menus, HUD, modals - First-visit guides: do they appear, are they dismissable, do they render on mobile? - Pull-to-refresh behavior 6. DISCORD INTEGRATION - Bot commands: /me, /status, /launder, /heists, /crime, /stocks, /market - Does the bot show correct info from the live game? - Onboarding: new members see rules + policies, must confirm before accessing channels 7. PAYMENTS (Sandbox) - VIP store checkout via Paddle — gold bars, starter packs, boosters - Does the webhook fire and credits land in-game? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ KNOWN LIMITATIONS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Dutch cities (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Den Haag, Groningen) are PREPARED in code but NOT yet released to players. All systems are wired — waiting for testing at scale. • Paddle checkout may occasionally hang (checkout-service client-token issue with Paddle's API — under investigation) • Some edge cases in family war settlement when both families log off simultaneously • Supabase free tier: 5GB egress + 1M edge requests/month — optimizations deployed (visibility-pause, CDN cache) but heavy traffic may trigger rate limits • Season reset: planned for end of Beta Season 1 (4 months). Currently no data wipe scheduled. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎯 GOALS FOR BETA TESTERS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1. Break the economy — find exploits, inflation loops, dirty→clean bypasses 2. Test every system — crimes, heists, drugs, casino, garage, laundry, families, war 3. Try multi-device — does it work on phone AND desktop simultaneously? 4. Stress the Discord bot — 50 concurrent players, does it keep up? 5. Report bugs in our Discord server → #bugs channel (or in-game /report) 6. Suggest balance changes — what feels too easy? Too hard? Too slow? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔗 LINKS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Play: https://hustlersway-ten.vercel.app Discord: https://discord.gg/7gkYEbcc3T GitHub: https://github.com/Ghosty35/mafia-game Policies: Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Refund Policy, Beta Policy all available on-site. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📅 Beta Season 1: August 2026 – December 2026 Players capped at 250 during beta phase.
