## Gameplay
The inspiration for this game is my home country, Australia. I've tried to bring the landscape and
flora into the game of Minetest. Enjoy and think of visiting Australia next time you travel abroad.
You can choose to play in a “survival mode” in which you have to fight monsters and hunger for
survival and slowly progress through the various other aspects of the game, such as mining, farming, building machines, and so on. Or you can play in “creative mode” in which you can build almost
anything instantly.

This game is currently in **alpha** stage. It is playable, but very unfinished, many bugs are to be expected. Backwards-compability is *not* guaranteed, updating your world might cause small and big
bugs (such as “missing node” errors or even crashes).
