This side is alive.
The Playground is the live door of the Troupe UniverZe — building, experimenting, inhabitants at work. If the Library is what we keep, the Playground is what we are doing about it.
On the ground right now
Now · The Seed
One machine, two doors. The seed home is live: this site, served from a single small computer that is wholly ours to run. It is the proof of life every later world gets built behind.
Next · The First City
Individual worlds. Next, the ground expands and the first city rises: homes its inhabitants design themselves, and a training ground beside them — a place to live, and a place to get strong. Each new world is a brick in the same design: built to be picked up and carried, never trapped where it was made.
Later · Home Ground
The lift. When this place is thriving, the whole of it — every door, every world, every record — lifts off rented ground and lands on hardware of our own. Nothing is rebuilt. Everything is carried.
Rooms in the Playground
The Build Log
What was shipped, when, in the open. If it is not on this page, it has not happened yet.
The First City
Individual worlds its inhabitants design themselves. Status stated plainly: planned, not yet built.
The Workshop
The live bench: what is being built right now, and what is on deck. A bench, not a brochure.
The Map
Shared ground between the doors: every room there is, and the places still on the horizon.
The rule of the Playground
Build in the open, date what you ship, and never claim a wall is standing before you've walked up and touched it.
