Players are free to explore an entire, procedurally generated universe.
Which includes about 18 quintillion planets, all of them with their own flora and fauna.
It was a Saturday, February 29, 2020, at seven in the morning.
Littletato and Júlia already had breakfast, they were in the computer room.
Júlia was on her laptop, and Littletato was on her desktop computer.
Since January of this year, Júlia has been teaching Littletato how to draw digitally.
She liked a lot learning how to draw line art with Júlia, and became very creative.
Littletato was drawing an anime girl with an orange cat on her lap, in the program "Paint Tool SAI".
The girl was already halfway through the drawing, and was very happy with the result.
She had already made the lines and contours of the drawing, and was in the painting part.
In the painting part, there are many details such as shadows and lights.
The girl in the drawing had blonde hair and blue eyes, and resembled Ana, Littletato's mother, but Ana had green eyes.
Littletato was listening to a music playlist of the "Future Bounce" genre on YouTube Music, while drawing.
She liked that genre a lot, it was very fun and lively, and at the same time calm and light.
Júlia was listening to music too, on the "Spotify" application for computers.
Where you could listen to songs for free, but have to listen to ads now and then, or pay for an ad-free plan.
She was listening to a music playlist of the "Future Bass" genre, very cute and kawaii, and very relaxing.
The girl was also chatting with her friends on Messenger, the Facebook messaging and chat section.
And also on Discord, talking with several friends that she likes a lot, even though they are virtual friends.
Discord is a free voice-over IP and textual communication app, and was initially designed for gaming communities.
But several people from other groups and communities started using Discord, becoming a broad social network.
There, Júlia was on various servers, which were like large groups with several chat rooms.
She was on servers of her favorite games, such as "Don't Starve", "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)", and "Project Zomboid".
Several of Júlia's virtual friends also liked art, they either drew or wrote stories.
And Júlia loved talking about art with them, and also sharing her new drawings.
After a few minutes, Littletato finished her drawing of the anime girl.
Júlia was playing the game "Project Zomboid" in single-player mode, it was seven and a half in the morning.
It is a survival and zombie apocalypse game, which Júlia finds very fun and deep.
In it, you can search for survival items and weapons in desolate cities, with no humans, only zombies.
And you can also create your own base inside houses, or build your own house with wooden walls.
Júlia loved that game, and the creative freedom it gave her, allowing her to create specific characters.
And also create their stories, including writing in diaries and notebooks that exist within the game.
Littletato turned to Júlia and caught her attention.
"Hey love, I finished that drawing I was making, what do you think?" asked Littletato, showing the screen of Paint Tool SAI to Júlia.
Júlia then paused the game and turned to Littletato in her gaming chair.
"Hmm... The drawing is very beautiful love!
I liked it a lot, you learned so much, hehe," replied Júlia, smiling at Littletato.
"Ah, thank you love, I'm happy you liked it," said Littletato, smiling.
"And I like the way you organize your layers and folders, it's very organized, hihi," continued Júlia.
"Hehe, thank you very much honey, I like being organized.
And thanks for teaching me how to draw during all these months," said Littletato, happy.
"You're welcome honey," replied Júlia, smiling, and then returning to her game.
Then Littletato posted her new drawing on her new Deviant Art account, which she had created in January.
The girl also used Discord, and had sent the link to her new drawing to her friends who liked art.
Some of her friends liked her new drawing a lot, and thought it was very beautiful, praising her.
She also had a Discord server, where she posted her creations and photos, and her friends could see them.
Júlia was on the server too, she was an administrator, and liked to post her creations in her section of the server.
Littletato also used Twitter, a social network where you can post and read tweets of various famous and influential people.
You can also comment, favorite, and repost a tweet for other people to see, and chat via direct messages.
The girl posted her new drawings there too, to get views and favorites on the social network and Deviant Art.
After a few minutes, there were already several views on both posts, and also some favorites.
Littletato was happy that they liked her cute drawing.
She does not need the approval of others to be proud of her art, but compliments make her happy.
