The valley is born in pixels
Before the 3D existed, the valley began as a 2D farming RPG. On the first day there was already a plot, Pedro as guide, backpack, field and the map redrawn over the real plan of Bom Jesus dos Pobres.

How it went
The first day belongs to the 2D game, the valley's older sibling. That's where everything the 3D would later inherit was born: the premise of the inheritance, Pedro waiting at the pier, the wattle-and-daub house and the fenced field.
The map was redrawn over the plan of Bom Jesus dos Pobres, cut by a river and with depth in the woods. Every piece of land got an owner, because in the Recôncavo of 1887 no ground belongs to no one.

Sprites and audio were generated with AI and the tutorial was rewritten from scratch, already with building projects, talents and faith. It was 75 commits in a single day, most of them small, each with its reason written in the message.
