A Thomas and Seth Hansen Game

Jelling Stone

You are Harald Bluetooth, holding a young Viking village while the coast closes in. Visit the rune stone in the center of town to unlock buildings and make Harald stronger.

Expand with resource buildings and defense structures.
Recruit new villagers and train warriors.
Assign villagers to wood, fish, fur, hunting, or guard work.
Defend raids that get stronger over time. Eventually Jarl Skarde Red-Tooth comes ashore.
Be careful. If Harald dies, you start over.
Explore deeper into the woods and across the sea.
Defeat enemies to earn runes.

Seth and I started vibe coding this with Codex on April 26, 2026 as a father-son project. It is still a prototype, with raids on other players' villages, dungeons, bosses, and a campaign coming soon.

What We Are Making

Jellingstone began on April 26, 2026, a father-and-son forge of vibe coding, AI prompting, game design, TypeScript, Three.js, and many good laughs by the hearth.

It is a tiny playable Viking village where Harald Bluetooth can walk the coast, gather supplies, talk with villagers, study the Jelling Stone, build defenses, and hold the shore against raiders.

What You Can Do Now

A living prototype, not a trailer

The village already has movement, combat, resources, building, raids that grow stronger, a rune menu, creator messages, and a growing coast around it.

Guide Harald with click or tap movement.
Talk with villagers and use the Jelling Stone.
Gather wood, food, fish, fur, and Rune Points.
Assign villagers to useful work.
Build palisades, towers, and storehouses.
Defend the village from longboat raids and Jarl Skarde Red-Tooth.
Send feedback to Thomas and Seth for bonus runes.
Enter through the Vibe Jam portal route.

Roadmap

Coming Soon

The village is still growing. These are the next big dreams and near-term improvements we are shaping from playtests and the project todo list.

Share villages with friends, then raid, defend, and compare the settlements you build.
Trade with other villages, conquer rival settlements, and unite Denmark and Scandinavia under Harald Bluetooth's banner.
A single-player campaign with dungeons, boss fights, and new threats beyond the village coast.
Farms that grow barley, adding another resource to gather, protect, and spend.
A diary or journal where discovered guidance messages can be reread.
Clearer villager callouts, hint dialogue, raid readability, and resource-stealing moments.
More satisfying building controls, including better placement orientation before confirming.

The settlement grew real jobs

Build resource-specific stores for wood, food, fish, and fur, each adding a new villager.
Assign individual villagers to work, watch task bubbles, and train blue-clad warriors at the barracks.
Repair damaged buildings, restart cleanly from settings, and start over if Harald falls.
Hunt deer and wolves for food and fur while raids grow toward Jarl Skarde Red-Tooth.

Meet NPC villagers near a larger Viking settlement.
Explore a wider shoreline shaped by the first proto-Scandinavia world sampler.
Use early world editing tools that help the village grow beyond one small map.
