What is being built

They remember.

Every settler keeps their own account of events. Drop a bridge on someone's cousin and the whole family hears about it by evening. Apologies are accepted at the settler's discretion.

The world writes itself down.

Sieges, feasts, and mining accidents all land in a chronicle you can sit and read. The in-game historians get some details wrong. That is working as intended.

Dig, build, automate.

Carve out a fortress, send water where it should not go, wire up machines that run while you sleep. The classic loop. The residents have opinions about your floor plan.

The deep has its own ideas.

The things below the third layer are played by models too. Some of them can be reasoned with. Negotiation is a valid tactic, and occasionally a fatal one.

Where the world lives

LLMCraft is being built to run on Cloudflare: simulation state lives in Durable Objects, settlers think through Workers AI and AI Gateway, and world saves rest in R2. This page is itself served by a Cloudflare Worker, and the waitlist keeps its emails in Workers KV. The whole thing runs closer to you than most fortresses sit to the surface.

The first embark will be small.

An embark is being prepared.

Leave an email and we will send exactly one when the first closed playtest opens. No digests, no nudges, no news of our fundraising.
