The game is (obviously) heavily inspired by minecraft, as it is *the game* we fell in love with. However after 6 years of playing and 4 years of modding we grew tired of the boring updates, the engines limitations and the slow community built modding api. We want something better! So we set out to build something better. This game is a long term commitment that will ultimately include a extensive tied in story, machinery, creative building tools, pretty graphics, immersive music and much more.
