A world built entirely by players
There is no pre-made map here. Every house, town, dungeon and piece of voxel art in the world was placed by another player, and the world streams in as you walk, so exploring never hits a load screen. You claim a plot and start stacking: a modest home, a sprawling castle, pixel art, or a dungeon for other players to run. The world is massive, so there is room to build without a neighbor's wall in your way. When you want to show off, the MegaMap interface lets you browse the whole world from above and share your creations with friends. It feels less like playing a game and more like moving into a city everyone is still constructing.
Found your own town
Building a house is one thing; running a town is another. Start your own settlement, invite friends to live there, and use the mayor's management tools to oversee the place. Decide who builds where, what your town looks like, and how it grows. Other players can wander in and see what you have made, and the game includes anti-griefing systems so your work is protected from people who would rather smash it. There is a quiet satisfaction in walking through streets you planned and seeing other players' buildings rise next to yours.
What can you do besides building?
Is there fighting and PvP?
Yes. The world is full of enemies with names that sound like a civic problem: LawyerCats, Congressional Lobbyist Slugs and Hipsters. You swing at them for gold and experience, and you can also fight other players in PvP battle. There are quests and character levels on top of the building, so you can split your time between stacking blocks and swinging a sword.
Can you become a zombie?
You can, and it works exactly how you would hope: you need a steady supply of brains from other players. The upside for your victims is that once you eat their brain, they become zombies too. It is a multiplayer infection chain, and a good excuse to chase people around town.
Who makes the game?
The entire game has one full-time developer, and you can submit and vote on ideas for it.
