[Math] “Spec” of graded rings

ag.algebraic-geometrydeformation-theorygraded-rings-moduleshochschild-cohomology

From the discussion at Hochschild cohomology and A-infinity deformations, it seems that general Hochschild cohomology classes correspond to deformations where the deformation parameter can have nonzero degree.

So I have some naive and maybe stupid questions:

How can I interpret this geometrically? What is the "base space" of the deformation? What kind of object is it?

In other words, what is the "Spec" of a graded ring or a graded algebra (e.g. $k[t]$ or $k[[t]]$ or $k[t]/(t^n)$ with the variable $t$ having some nonzero degree)?

(… maybe what I'm really asking is: Is there a theory of "schemes" where the "affine schemes" correspond to graded commutative rings rather than commutative rings?)

maybe these notes by Vezzosi can be helpful for some
