Wildkin, Elemental, and Relicborn Worklings gathered in a magical woodland

As an MMO fan whose been itching to find some outlet, I figured having a pet that actually feels like a pet that lives in your computer, but responds to stimuli from your actions, rather than some superficial toy was in order. Think of a pet that will level up as you complete tasks and do work.

Levels come with stat points, build trees, ability to quest, gear, etc… The sky is the limit, but we’ll see.

I’m also keen on multiplayer at some point. We’re so early!

Some key points to note:

This is macos only, for now.
While the classes are in, we are yet to figure out all the races and their abilities
The goal is to eventually see if we can sync this up with real world compnions
I’m keen on trying to use some local AI to give the worklings their own unique personality

I’m really not sure how exactly I’d like to build this and a lot of this is still exploratory. But I’m leaning towards some traditional MMO and MOBA styling. Since this is supposed to be somewhat passive, I’m also leaning towards an auto battler for the play-style. At this stage, we have a lot of options.

Meet the worklings:

Race: Elemental. This is an Ember-Newt An ember-newt Elemental Workling

Race: Wildkin. This is a Moss-Fox A moss-fox Wildkin Workling

Race: Relicborn. This is a Keyback Pangolin A keyback pangolin Relicborn Workling

And the Classes as they currently stand:

Stat	Class	Role	Flavor
Vitality	Wellspring	Healer / Support	The source others draw on — sustains, restores, never runs dry.
Power	Juggernaut	Heavy offense	Hits like an unstoppable force — raw, overwhelming offense.
Guard	Aegis	Tank	The shield everyone stands behind — mitigates, endures, protects.
Agility	Maverick	Finesse offense	Moves fast, breaks convention — quick, decisive, takes the opening first.
Wit	Tinkerer	Mage-equivalent	Technology so advanced it might as well be magic — clever, inventive, otherworldly effective.

The early build lets you care for three creature families, move or tuck away your pet, and opt into idle roaming. Longer term, Worklings will level up through the work you do, gain stats and abilities, go on quests, collect gear, and eventually meet other players’ companions.
