First, make some space
The creator’s starting goal is a backyard cleanup. Dig and mine the piles, then turn the recovered materials into better tools. The tea party gives that expanding patch of ground a purpose beyond collecting another resource.
Let the tools change the pace
Crafting connects the cleanup to farming and resource production. The page also describes summoned helpers that can work while the game runs in the background. Start with the small loop before deciding whether you want a longer incremental project.
Choose the right version
This is a pre-demo rather than the finished game. The browser version is listed alongside Windows and Linux downloads. A separate desktop companion mode keeps the game in a corner of the screen; the creator’s F5 shortcut is for that desktop mode.
