Ovation

The Commons

High above a golden sea of cloud, a handful of bare islands drift, waiting for someone to make something of them. Seven other builders are already out there — Wren's long gallery, Coral's tide market, Ferro's iron stage — and every evening the crowd decides whose work it loved most.

Build it, open it, watch them come

Claim a plot. Lay floors, raise walls, cut a doorway, run a ramp up to a second storey, hang lanterns, plant a garden. Then give the place a purpose — a home, a shop, a garden, a gallery, a stage — and throw the doors open.

Visitors walk in for real. They find your door, wander your rooms, sit on your benches, linger under your lights, and leave hearts where they were happy. Wall them out and nobody comes. Give them somewhere worth standing and the crowd grows until you can hear it from the plaza.

Nothing here is a number

There is no score and no currency. Your work's worth is the size of the crowd on your island, the hearts rising over your roof, and where your name sits on the Trending Board. Travel out to the other builders' places, see what the Commons is loving, and leave a heart of your own.

Seven days. Each dusk, the crowd gathers at the day's most-loved build for the Ovation. Be the one they gather at, and your place becomes a Landmark — remembered long after the season ends.
