I’ve been building termcraft, a terminal-first 2D sandbox survival game in Rust.

The idea is to take the classic early survival progression and adapt it to a side-on terminal format instead of a tile or pixel-art engine.

Current build includes: - procedural Overworld, Nether, and End generation - mining, placement, crafting, furnaces, brewing, and boats - hostile and passive mobs - villages, dungeons, strongholds, Nether fortresses, and dragon progression

This is still early alpha, but it’s already playable.
