The Adventure Begins!
Welcome to "Terrafort," a procedurally generated universe of pixels, where every game writes its own story. By day, the world is yours to shape. Gather resources, trade wisely, and build your stronghold amidst the wilderness. Every decision, every action, shapes your journey in this pixelated realm. As dusk falls, danger awakens. Bandits emerge from the shadows, transforming the terrain into a battlefield. Your survival hinges on your strategy – build a fort, outwit your foes, and stand firm against the night's onslaught.
