Little Wat

What is Little Wat?

• Build it one hall at a timeKutis, salas, the sermon hall and one day the ubosot (ordination hall). No instant build: your temple boys raise every building.
• Every monk is a personEach has a name, a Pali name and a calling. You give them duties; you never click to move them.
• The morning alms roundFood only comes from the villages. Each village's faith grows from caring for it, never from money.
• The Thai calendarHot, rainy and cool seasons, merit-making festivals, Buddhist holy days, the rains retreat and kathin.

No enemies, no game over. Calm, slow and beautiful.

Development

The full game has four eras, from a small monastery to the large temple of the district. The whole game has been redrawn in HD.

1. 

   Era 1 · Samnak song (small monastery)

   Playable in the free demo

   The first kuti, the morning alms round, a year of festivals and Luang Ta teaching as you go, until the temple receives its wisungkhamsima (royal land grant).

2. 

   Era 2 · The community temple

   Done · in testing

   Build the ubosot (ordination hall) stage by stage with the villages offering pha pa to help, hold the luk nimit ceremony to bind its boundary, then the villages ask to ordain their sons. Bell tower, rest salas, masonry upgrades and a duty for every monk.

3. 

   Era 3 · The large temple

   Beta · in testing

   Wood becomes masonry. A temple school where monks teach the village children, a meditation hall in a quiet corner, a meru (crematorium) and its rites shown with respect, and a visit from the district head monk.

4. Era 4

   In progress

   The temple’s final chapter.
