Worldstart

The summer island in the game: a sandy beach, palm trees and the Start ring

Adventure with friends, build the world.

An online action RPG where pixel, low-poly and anime players share one bright world. Hunt monsters together, grow turnips between fights, and dress up in whatever you earn.

Early playtest. Expect rough edges, and tell us what breaks.

One world, three looks

Pick pixel, low-poly or anime. Everyone plays in the same world, so a mixed party looks like a party, not a glitch.

Hunt hard, live easy

Fights with weight, chores with calm, and a plaza full of people in between.

Hunts with weight

Monsters telegraph, attacks commit, and weak points are worth climbing for. Bring friends, or call up a party when you're on your own.

Meet up in Start Plaza

Portals to the Hunting Grounds, your Home Farm and community worlds, with Pip's Produce on the corner for whatever you grew.

Cozy life that matters

Farmers grow the turnips that keep hunters alive. Water your plot, sell to Pip, catch a fish. Nothing nags you. After a hunt, bring the whole party home to your campfire.

Looking good is the endgame

Cosmetics come from play, never from a store, and every one works in every style.

Who you'll be

Human, elf, zombie, rabbit or dog, in whatever colors you like.

What's new

Updates land most days, and the game updates itself when you open it.

  1. Version 0.22.10

    A smoother crowd

    • Start Plaza runs smoother when it's packed. Everyone's spare outfits, hats and gear no longer get dragged along behind the scenes as they walk around, which cost a surprising amount. In our tests with eighty people about, that was a quarter more frames a second.
  2. Version 0.22.9

    Run tall, rabbit

    • The low-poly white rabbit (Body B) stands and runs upright: her chest over her hips, her head over her shoulders, and a clean new neck rising straight out of her collar. Before, she hunched, her head hung forward on a long neck, and the back of her shirt stood up in a point behind it.
  3. Version 0.22.8

    Come see what I built

    • Friends who visit your farm now see your block build, and anything you add or knock down while they're there shows up for them right away. They can admire it, but only you can build on it.
