Morterra base building in the 2016 alpha, at 4x speed

On June 7, 2016 we posted a time-lapse at 4x speed of a player building their base in Morterra, an online survival sandbox that was then a Java game. We wanted it to show the creative side of the game, where players build a base exactly the way they want it.

Everything in Morterra could be destroyed, so nothing was permanent, and players could place every construction object where they liked. A secure base was where you slept while you were offline, so building one mattered, and we wanted players to be able to do it freely.

Players could also grow plants and harvest them to reduce hunger.

The first trailer, Land of Death, had come out three days earlier.
