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.

Low-poly
Anime

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.

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 0.19.31

    Cleaner low-poly faces

    • Human Body B's and Zombie Body B's low-poly faces are a few flat planes of clean skin, lit or in shadow, like our low-poly concept art, instead of patchy, muddy shading, and your skin colour drives every one of them.
    • Zombie Body B has his eyes and scowling brows back in low-poly. Human Body B stays faceless, as we drew him.
  2. Version 0.19.30

    Symmetrical low-poly faces

    • Human Body B's and Zombie Body B's low-poly faces are symmetrical now: each face is one clean half mirrored, so it no longer looks lopsided and rough, in every size and every style from far away. Their hair is left as we drew it, swept and spiky, and hats still sit right.
  3. Version 0.19.29

    Low-poly characters that look like our concept art

    • Low-poly characters now look like our low-poly concept art, starting with Human Body B and Zombie Body B: in the low-poly style, and in every style from far away, they're now built from our own low-poly drawings, with big flat facets, clean flat colours, spiky, blocky hair and clean faces under the fringe, instead of a simplified copy of the anime model with its smudges and tears. Small and large sizes too.
    • Your colours look the same on them as on the anime model, and hats sit on top of their new hair.
    • A rabbit's long ears flop with a jump instead of whipping over its head at takeoff.
