State of the Game

Table Of Contents

This page is a snapshot of where things stand right now — feature by feature.

Everything here is Phase 1 — the first version of each system. Some of it is rough. Some of it might change completely. That’s part of building a game like this.

These gifs and screenshots are early, messy, and temporary by design. We’re sharing progress, not polish.
