A co-op action RPG in a procedural world: one player hosts, the others join. The world has to be the same for everyone — the ground, the weather, the spot where a mushroom grows — and still feel alive: a village, crafts, beasts and dungeons.
A 16 × 16 km continent is computed from the world seed: heights, seven biomes, rivers, ruins. None of it is stored — the server and the clients compute the same thing in integers, without the engine's randomness. The world database keeps only what players changed: a felled tree, a forge they built, a cleared dungeon.
The player moves in 60 Hz ticks with rollback: the client predicts its step, the server confirms, a mismatch is re-simulated. So everything the next tick depends on — a slide, a wall run, riding down a snowy slope — is described as state that can be replayed to the same result.
Four villagers with names, a temper and requests; the relationship with each grows separately. Crafts are trades with their own level: alchemy, cooking, smithing, fishing. Metal is smelted from ore at a forge, an item is named after its metal, and its level comes from the metal and the smith's skill.
A beast can be tamed with food: trust grows with every feeding. A pet follows its owner, helps in a fight, levels up, can be hurt and healed. In the village there is a stable with three stalls — each with a bowl and a trough the pet walks to by itself.
Ruins on the map lead into dungeons: rooms and corridors are assembled from the same seed, each with its own theme and its own boss.
