☀ SOLAR STORM

SOLAR STORM

You buy dollars on Florida & Lavalle… and the sun goes out. 🌞🔌

open source · GPLv3 · nothing to install, runs in the browser

🤖 The AI chat is FREE

You chat with the bum-oracles (they drop hints, tell you about the solar storms and how AI rules over us) and we pay for the AI: you don't need any API key. It runs on our own self-hosted infra (Kubernetes + LiteLLM + GPU/NPU). If you'd still rather use your own OpenRouter key, you can — it stays as an override in your browser.

What's it about?

A 2D shooter with Buenos Aires humor. You start buying greenbacks in an illegal money cave, a solar storm hits and tears space-time, and the neighborhood turns into a glitched mess you have to survive and make sense of. You're el Carpo: a bum bluesman, bald, guitar on his back, zero glamour (a fond tribute to the bums of Florida & Lavalle — fiction/parody).

What you'll find

Bum-oracles

NPCs with AI and their own memory: they recognize you, remember what you talked about, and give hints without spoiling. Each with its own voice.

Story graph

Chained puzzles: what unlocks what, two routes to the Chinese shop, the bums' bunker, the final portal (time jump).

A world that reacts

Money changers, the card-game Hustler, the shopkeeper and his ninjas, the drunks. A survival loop and replayability.

Always alive

Data-driven model: characters, quests and moments get added without recompiling. Every release brings more.

Built on real hardware

It's not just a toy: the AI runs on a self-hosted Kubernetes cluster at home — HAProxy at the edge, Cilium Gateway API, a Let's Encrypt TLS cert, LiteLLM centralizing models, and inference on an NVIDIA GPU (shared via HAMi) and RK1 NPUs, with OpenRouter as the cloud fallback. Let me walk you through it, layer by layer →

Coming soon 🔜

A Telegram bot wired to Hermes (an agent already running in the cluster) to run the game from chat: administer it, generate new content and orchestrate the world from your phone.
