We areFlameNet Cloud.

A dedicated server, a handful of VPSes and no sense of when to go to bed. We run our own Linux, mail and websites, and we write the game systems that run on top. None of it is for sale.

Who we are

Run by us.
Built by us.

We have spent years running Linux servers, home labs and hosting for friends, and we build whenever there is something worth building. We run every server, mailbox and website here, and write most of the code on them. In our spare time, for fun.

How we got here

Part one

We run it.

Most people rent a panel and click install. We used those too, then outgrew them. Now every box is set up by hand, and we know exactly what is on each one.

The metal

A dedicated server and a handful of VPSes, all Linux, all set up by hand. No control panel in the middle.

02

Mail and web

Our own mail server and webmail on our own domains, with mailboxes for us and for friends. Every site and web app we run lives on the same boxes.

Game servers

GTA V roleplay, Project Zomboid and BeamMP. Before that, Minecraft and years of TeamSpeak.

How we run it

Part two

We build it.

On top of those servers sits a game world we wrote ourselves. Not bought, not reskinned. Here are four of the big ones.

01 · Flaming Radio

A real digital radio system. Inside a video game.

P25, DMR and FM, with talkgroups, zones, encryption and emergency buttons. Every transmission goes through a real vocoder on our servers, so it sounds like the real thing because it works like it. Speech recognition on our own hardware captions every word.

  • P25, DMR and FM, each with its own sound
  • Live captions, transcribed on our own hardware
  • Public scanner with a searchable archive
Three Flaming Phone screens: the lock screen, the home screen and the camera

02 · Flaming Phone

Most servers buy a phone script. We wrote a phone.

Calls, texts, voicemail, a camera with its own video editor, music, a bank, maps and social apps, written from scratch. Our other scripts plug their own apps into it through an API we built for exactly that.

  • Written from scratch, not a reskin
  • Real voice calls and voicemail
  • App platform for our other scripts
The San Andreas Dispatch console with a live map, the call queue and unit status

03 · Dispatch and CAD

A full dispatch floor for a city that is on fire most nights.

San Andreas Dispatch runs calls, units and a live map in the browser. Officers get the same calls on an in-game MDT. 911 calls come in with their audio, and supervisors can play any of them back.

  • Live map, calls, units and records
  • In-game MDT wired to the browser CAD
  • 911 call-taking with audio playback

04 · Eight-Bit Arcade

We built an arcade. Then we wrote the games in it.

A whole interior on the Vinewood strip, modelled by us: bowling, 8-ball pool, card tables and a wall of cabinets running games we wrote, from Five Star Getaway to Skyline Stacker. Step Fever, the dance machine, builds its charts from the song itself.

  • Interior modelled in house
  • Cabinet games written from scratch
  • Bowling, pool, cards and a dance machine

Also ours

ClipForge, a replay editor that lets you pick the camera after the fact. A minigames lobby. And a dozen in-game websites, from a news desk to a stock exchange.

Questions

Asked
a lot.

Can I rent a server from you?

No. We do not sell, rent or resell anything, game servers included. The servers run our stuff and nothing else.

Who is behind it?

A small group that has run Linux and hosting for years and likes building things. We keep our names off the site.

Why not buy scripts like everyone else?

Because then it is someone else's work and someone else's bugs. We would rather build it, know every line and fix it ourselves.

Where are your servers?

On the US East Coast, close to most of our players.

Is the radio really public?

Unencrypted channels are. Anyone can listen live on ScannerVice and search the archive. Encrypted channels are never published.

Do you use outside AI services?

No. Speech recognition and text-to-speech run on our own hardware, and we do not use your voice or text to train anything.

How do I report a security problem?

Email [email protected] with enough detail to reproduce it, and give us time to fix it. Our terms of service cover good-faith reports.

For the record

Not a host.

FlameNet Cloud is not a hosting company. We do not sell, rent or resell servers, game servers included, and nothing in our community is for sale. Everything here exists because we wanted to build it.
