My brother decided that he wanted to try something new, the Google Play Store or the "Market" as it was known back then. He came across a game called Growtopia, a indie game that was a MMO open world "farming simulator". It was basically a farming simulator.
I mostly grinded getting the multiple different items in the game and just talking to random people. I even had my own virtual family, with brothers, sisters, and a mother lmao.
Growtopia was started by 2 people: Seth Robinson and Mike Hommel. Growtopia started in 2012, when Seth made six mockup screenshots outlining the premise of the game of which he originally called Buildo, and sent it to Mike Hommel to entice him into helping with the project. The game's user interface started to take shape with Hommel's mockups.
