Conuco

Farming sims let you optimize a farm into an empire. That is not what a conuco is. Conuco borrows Stardew’s structure and gives it a Caribbean soul: you farm, fish, and cook, but the point is reviving a fading coastal pueblo. The festivals come back, the colmado stays open, and when the resort developer arrives with an offer, the town repaints the sign: NO SE VENDE.

PixiJS renders the world, but the game never knows it. Logic imports no rendering code; the Pixi world and the DOM overlay are both pure views of one typed store, communicating through a typed event bus. Content is data: crops, fish, recipes, NPCs, and festivals are declarative definitions, so a new festival is an entry, not a feature. Randomness is seeded and the seed state persists inside the save.

Saves are versioned with additive-only migrations, a deep default-merge, and a backup slot: a save from the first playable build gains every later feature seamlessly. The cultural layer is engineered with the same seriousness. A kept-terms glossary resolves identically in Spanish and English, so sancocho, morir soñando, and the Carnaval’s diablos cojuelos never get translated away, and first-use gloss toasts welcome players who did not grow up with those words. The core holds 126 unit tests; the vertical slice is complete and human-playtested.
