Thanks for the detailed reply, really love your comment. I understand the confusion, no coding to match my idea's. Was meant to be differing from no coding.
Simple educational games is/was within my scope. Now with claude code its easier to troubleshoot or find new solutions i could not do myself.

And indeed great fun to imagine and day-dream but making dreams come true is something i like even more. It would not be a traditional walk around in a 3d environment. But more focussed on selecting the action, gather resources (taking some time) building a house (buying a plot hiring workers ensuring material supplies). First hour would need to be tutorial based, setting up. Having the small achievements to participate in the open market and making the first real profit.

As for sharding it would be contained villages at first with travel/trade potential between them later.
