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.

Updates at the time

Historical release notes as recorded on 30 October 2026.

  1. Version 0.20.1

    Clean low-poly

    • The low-poly style is now clean and modern: crisp flat facets in clear colours, without the old retro wobble, grain and dithering.
  2. Version 0.20.0

    Friends over at the farm

    • Bring your party home: walk through the farm gate in Start Plaza and everyone in your party is asked over (Y to go).
    • After a hunt with friends, the results have an "Everyone to my farm" button, so a good hunt can end at the campfire.
    • Visitors walk, sit, chat, emote and fish with you, and can water your thirsty crops. Planting and picking stay yours.
    • Everyone who comes over signs the guestbook by your front door.
    • When the host heads out, their guests go back to the plaza together.
  3. Version 0.19.37

    A smoother crowded plaza

    • Start Plaza runs smoother when it's packed: players far across the square animate a little more economically, so a crowd of 80 costs about a sixth less of each frame.
