Fight evil LawyerCats and engage in Player vs Player battle. Features 100% Player Built World - The entire world is built by players. Build your own house, town, voxelart, or dungeon.

You'll have an array of management tools for overseeing your town. Interactive Development - The entire game only has one full-time developer, and development is still ongoing.

MegaMap - The world is huge, so the MegaMap interface (based on Google Maps API) is a handy way to browse the world and share your creations with friends.

Press Quotes
“The most randomly awesome game I've played in a while” MMORPG.com “... generation upon generation of user-made structures dot the landscape, and oversized shapes and enigmatic letters mystify like Nazca lines. It feels free, like playing with Legos as kid. You have agency. There are all sorts of weird ways to play. You can transform into a zombie if you want, try and spread a plague, mix things up. Oh, and beware of LawyerCats. They’re out for blood.” Indie Statik…
