Queue #0.97 · Island incremental

Grove Drift
It wasn’t guarding anything. It was just waiting for someone to help it finish.
A deliberately simple, single-asset-pack incremental — built as a learning project. Travel island to island via bridge or boat; each island is a finite level. Meet a dormant drone, reactivate it, click-gather to fill a progress bar, unlock the crossing to the next island. The mystery: these drones were left by “Old Gardeners” who built this chain not to guard or conquer, but simply to tend it.
Island loop
Tend, don’t conquer
Land → meet drone → click nodes to fill the progress bar (drone deployment boosts yield) → task completes → one lore detail revealed → cross to next island. No prestige reset, no offline ticking — 3–8 minutes per island.
Variety from island shape, resource mix, and task flavor labels — same Survival Kit tiles throughout.
Scope
Genre learning exercise
Single asset pack + custom drone sprite. Recommend 4–5 islands for first build. Drones stay on completed islands — tending, not owning.
Quiet warm ending — a garden chain, not a colony. GDD v0.2 · $0 additional asset spend.
