  <p>
    Terasology is a super extensible open source voxel-based
    game. Born from a Minecraft-inspired tech demo, it is gradually becoming
    a platform for all sorts of gameplay settings in a voxel world.
  </p>
  <p>
    From the ground up, <a aria-label="Terasology on GitHub" href="https://github.com/MovingBlocks/Terasology">Terasology</a> was built to be a modular and extensible game. 
    We host a large number of <a aria-label="Terasology modules on GitHub" href="http://github.com/Terasology">modules</a> on Github, and publish
    a playable bundle as "Omega" distribution for everyone to try out. 
    We welcome new ideas, both crazy and well thought-out for modules and game extensions from anyone and everyone, so feel free to talk to us on our
    <a aria-label="Terasology Discord Link" href="https://discordapp.com">Discord</a>.
