Ryan and Evan (dad and son, 10) are building TBB Island from scratch in Dinkum, an Australian-themed cozy town sim rated E10+. Think Animal Crossing meets Stardew Valley, with actual co-op built in. Both players contribute. Both feel like they're moving things forward.

Episode 2: John finally commits to moving in, so we lock in the shop deed and start turning bare ground into an actual town. Most of this one is laying out the workshop around a center windmill, running back and forth for tin and palm wood, and building a wall of storage crates because inventory space is a constant fight. Evan does most of the landscaping. I do most of the complaining about it.

🎮 In this episode we cover:
• Getting John to officially commit, then grabbing the shop deed from Fletch
• How town deeds and the debt system work before you can place another one
• Designing the workshop around a center windmill that speeds up your machines
• Why we leave a six to seven block gap with roads around the whole build
• Supply runs for tin, palm wood, gum wood, and nails to build John's shop
• Why early inventory space is brutal, and why storage crates matter so much
• Doing NPC quests to raise relationship hearts, and when to skip a quest you can't finish
• Wrapping up the day with the town finally starting to look intentional
