Games worth idling in, mods worth installing.
Built with AI as a tool, not in place of the work: hosted models (GPT, Claude, GLM) and local ones (Qwen) for demo art, code audits and documentation. Funded out of pocket, never from your support. How AI is used here.

A free idle MMORPG built in Godot, drawn in pixel art from your inventory out to the open country of its world map. Build one of 17 classes, collect 100 companions, gather and craft by hand or on idle, raid with a faction, or play the whole thing offline. It comes two ways: the full client for desktop and Android, and a Discord bot that runs the same game from slash commands and adds three classes of its own. Link once and the same hero plays in both. No pay-to-win, ever.
Two ways in, one hero
The full client: a world map you walk, boss duels you can fight by hand when you feel like it, and a hero who keeps swinging while the window is shut. Never sign in and it still plays all the way through.
The same game as a bot, in any server or a DM. Slash commands and buttons keep a check-in down to a few seconds while your hero fights, gathers and levels around the clock. Nothing to install.
Not sure? Pick either. Linking is one step, /link in Discord or Settings then Cloud in the game, and after that the same hero, inventory and progress follow you between them. A Discord-only class still plays in the game.

Sixty seconds, rendered frame by frame out of a real save. Every number on screen is one the engine produced.
Highlights
Glimpse the realm
A handful of the cast. All 1356 pieces of AwayWard art, from the game and from Discord, are in the Compendium.
Supporter badges
Profile flair for supporters, on your hero in both places. The badge is cosmetic. Patreon-linked Discord tiers also carry the optional boosts listed under Support.
This is the Software Inc corner of Thromblo Creates: four mods that add a bigger catalog, a real command center, consequences for the tools your teams work with, and a peacekeeper for your mod list. ModernInc carries the catalog from the 1980s into today. ModernInc+ adds a configurable command center and a stack of company operations, pairing best with ModernInc but working on its own. Tool Quality Inc makes the tool you pick for a project actually matter, and shows you why. GDMCT is separate from all of them and sits underneath every data mod you have installed, sorting out the conflicts that stop mods from switching on. Each one runs on its own, and together they cover content, control, consequence and compatibility.
The lineup
Software Inc starts in the 1980s and mostly stays there. ModernInc keeps the catalog unfolding all the way to the present, with connected product families and rivals that grow with you. Featured in ConflictNerd's modded playthrough.
A native-style command center plus a stack of company operations, so a busy company stays legible. Every major system has its own master checkbox, and it drops into a save you are already playing. ModernInc is recommended, not required.
Every project asks you to pick the tools it depends on, and right now that choice barely matters: a brilliant editor and an ancient buggy one do the same work at the same speed. Tool Quality Inc gives the choice consequences, and shows you what they are before you commit.
Global Data Compatibility. Install enough data mods and one eventually refuses to enable, with a dialog that tells you nothing. GDMCT reads every installed package, works out who owns each shared software type, sorts the load order, and prints the real error when something truly cannot be reconciled.
Playing, reading, sharing or just dropping by already helps. If you want to do more, Patreon-linked Discord tiers add optional perks, recurring bundles and profile flair. AwayWard stays free, and its separate $2.99 Supporter Pack is convenience and cosmetics only.
No card, no catch. Following along costs nothing and still gets you plenty.

The legend tier.
Every Patreon tier shares the same 1.25x XP, +50% gold and +5% drop-rate boosts. Higher tiers increase storage and the recurring 30-day bundle, not those rates. These are optional progression conveniences, not exclusive combat stats, gear or leaderboard access. The in-game $2.99 Supporter Pack has no XP, gold, drop-rate or combat boost. Prices are monthly and set on Patreon. You can change or cancel any time.
