Your hand can now sweep across the world, and the world remembers where it passed. Draw ridges and valleys, watch shores and rivers answer, see people turn toward your works — then open an illuminated page that tells what this age became.

Sculpt in strokes. Press and drag with Raise Land, Sink Land, Send Rain, or Warm Region to paint a whole course in one gesture. A clear preview shows exactly where your power runs out before you commit.
The land answers. New shorelines break in foam; growth wakes or parches; rain shadows fall; rivers glow along a new bed while the abandoned course lingers like a scar.
People bear witness. Nearby figures turn, kneel in awe, or scatter from calamity. A town's faith now changes both the number and grandeur of the shrines it raises.
The Saga So Far. Open the new book at any time to read the age as a Chronicle of turning points, named works of your hand, and the lives you chose to follow — living or dead.
An ending that leads onward. Victory and extinction now open that same Saga with an honest reckoning of what your hand changed. First Valley can lead into The Long Winter, and a winter endured long enough can lead into The Burning Age.

Ages you began before this update carry forward. Their next chapter is already waiting.

A well or a granary used to accumulate quietly until, one year, it simply existed. Now every work has a raising. When that day comes the…Game update31 Aug 2026The FoundingThis update ships early, and honestly: a save made while zoomed all the way in could fail to load in v0.44 — silently, so it looked like the Continue button did nothing. That is fixed, and it could not wait for the rest of the week's work. A save made up close loads again. If you saved while walking among your people and Continue seemed to ignore you, it was not your save — it was us. Loading n…Game update29 Aug 2026The World LivesThe longest gap between updates ends with the biggest change this world has had: it founds, it burns, and it endures the way it was always meant to. Towns return, for the whole saga. The world used to stop making places after its first century and a half — on The Long Winter the map emptied toward three lonely settlements and stayed there. New towns now rise across the entire age: about ten sta…
