Planned

Overall Progress Phase 1 of 8

// Foundation Target: 1.0 Launch

PHASE 01 In Progress

Foundation

// Project Setup & Architecture

Engine selection, project scaffolding, and core architecture lock-in. Building the spine before any content gets attached to it.

Repository & folder structure established
Core resource classes scaffolded
Save system round-trip validated

Heat & counterintelligence

PHASE 04 Planned

Final UI & art integration
Original soundtrack & SFX
Balance tuning pass
Accessibility & settings

Open beta on itch / Steam beta branch
Telemetry & feedback loops
Critical bug remediation
Final balance corrections

Operational Notice

All timelines are projections. This is a solo development project — milestones may shift as conditions require. Phases describe scope, not strict calendar dates. The mission is to ship the game well, not to ship it fast.
