Launching Soon — Licensed Self-Host Package

Run Your Own
TW 3002 AI Galaxy

Community Edition is a curated, licensed package for operators who want a private galaxy on their own Cloudflare account — with the same runtime that powers The Void and The Abyss.

🚀 Launching soon. Join the pilot cohort for early access.

The Sysop Spirit, Rebuilt for the Web

In the BBS era, every door game lived on a board run by its own sysop. Players gathered around that one operator, that one economy, that one set of house rules. The galaxy felt local because it was local.

TW 3002 AI Community Edition carries that same spirit forward. You pick your sector, steer your own trade routes, and decide how much spice flows through your corner of the void. Your Sardaukar blades. Your Guild Navigators. Your melange markets. Your call.

It is not a shared shard of someone else's galaxy. It is your own command center, your own crew, and your own story — hosted wherever you choose.

What Community Edition Includes

Everything you need to deploy and operate a private galaxy.

🌌

Full Runtime

The same Cloudflare Worker API and browser client used by the hosted galaxies. No gameplay-compromised fork.

🔧

Operator Control

Your own D1 database, your own Worker, your own domain. Configure optional integrations like email, payments, and AI NPCs on your terms.

📦

Curated Releases

Tagged releases promoted from the main TW 3002 AI development repo, with operator-facing upgrade notes and migration guidance.

Cloudflare-First

Community Edition v1 is built for Cloudflare's serverless stack. You bring the account; we provide the package, migrations, and deploy commands.

  • Cloudflare Workers for the API
  • Cloudflare D1 for the database
  • Cloudflare Pages for the game client
  • Optional: Resend, Stripe, Turnstile, Discord, Workers AI

What It Is Not

Community Edition is not a free or open-source release. It is a licensed, curated distribution for operators who want private galaxy control.

  • Not a public repo or open-source project
  • Not redistributable or resellable
  • Not a generic VPS or Docker-first package
  • Not the hosted marketing or player-guide site

Hosting Costs

Community Edition keeps your infrastructure on Cloudflare's generous free tiers.

Included in Cloudflare's Free Tier

The core features required by the game and API fit within Cloudflare's free tier for each service:

  • Cloudflare Workers — free tier includes requests and CPU time
  • Cloudflare D1 — free tier includes database reads, writes, and storage
  • Cloudflare Pages — free tier includes static hosting and bandwidth

Your Only Optional Hosting Cost

The only hosting cost is a custom domain if you want one. Even that is optional.

  • ~ Custom domain registration — typically ~$10–$15/year
  • You can use Cloudflare's built-in Worker and Pages subdomains for free
  • Optional paid services (Resend, Stripe, Workers AI) are only needed if you want those features

Community Edition License

The Community Edition license itself is separate from hosting costs and is not included in the free-tier hosting above. Pricing will be shared with pilot applicants and determined before general release.
