+# sojourn
+
+There's nothing to see here yet. I'm using this project to teach myself Rust.
+
+## Roadmap
+
+My current idea is to write an idle game in which a character explores a galaxy generated by a given random seed, making contact with alien civilizations, gathering resources, building trade routes, and completing quests. Possibly with multi-player components (shared galaxies) via an online API down the road.
