The Founding Era

Work. Craft. Trade.
Build your place.

01

A Living Browser Economy

Ronks City is a mobile-first browser economy game. Explore an illustrated town, guide your resident between destinations and build persistent progress that remains waiting when you return.

New residents begin with 500 Coins, 100 Energy, a level-one resident, a Starter Home, empty resources and Season 0 progress.

02

Work the Land

Choose a profession and earn exact server-owned rewards: work as a Lumberjack in the Forest, a Miner at the Mine or a Farmer at the Farm.

Jobs consume Energy and grow your city life. Your Resident Profile tracks progress through Novice, Apprentice, Specialist and Master profession ranks.

03

Craft and Manage

Resources become useful through trusted recipes. Craft Planks, Meals and Tools, inspect everything in your Bag and consume a crafted Meal to recover up to 20 Energy.

Storage matters across jobs, crafting and market purchases, making every resource and upgrade decision part of the economy.

04

Trade at the Market

Buy and sell Wood, Stone, Iron and Food against bounded dynamic prices. Each successful trade earns 10 Merchant XP and advances the daily trade quest.

Prices respond to supply within clear limits. A 5% fee is rounded upward, with buyers paying the fee and sellers receiving their proceeds after it.

05

Build Your Property

Your Starter Home is the beginning. Reserve construction materials without overfilling storage, then permanently upgrade through House and Workshop Home tiers.

Reserved materials leave ordinary inventory space and become permanently committed to the exact final upgrade requirement.

06

Complete City Missions

Visit Town Hall to complete Repair the Old Bridge once for 180 Coins, 40 XP and 15 offchain Founder Points.

Daily quests, rotating Town Hall orders, weekly streaks and achievements create new reasons to return while preserving a clear history of Founder Point earnings.

How it is built

The economy has an authority.

The browser presents the world. Persistent economic actions are validated and recorded on the server.

Persistent
Coins, Energy, inventory, property and location are saved so progress survives reloads and sign-ins.
Server-owned
The database calculates rewards, costs, prices, fees, recipes and upgrade results—not the browser.
Scarcity-aware
Bounded market supply, storage capacity and committed materials keep economic choices meaningful.
Built to measure
Economy versions, ledgers and activity metrics create a foundation for transparent balance decisions.

The city loop

Every action builds the next.

  • 01Create a resident and enter the town
  • 02Work jobs to earn resources and experience
  • 03Craft, trade and manage limited storage
  • 04Reserve materials and improve your home
  • 05Complete quests and earn Founder Points

Founding scope

A game foundation first.

The Founding Era establishes the resident, town, jobs, crafting, market, property, quests and server-owned economy.

Wallets and blockchain functionality remain intentionally outside this release. New systems can grow from a foundation whose rules and progress already persist.

Work.
Build.
Grow.
