The repaired isolated sample keeps the wooden gate underside dark while exposed steps retain snow. — 8 October 2026Packaged weather comparison · Work in progress
Snow beneath the gate: after
Unedited packaged v6 capture from the same city-approach camera under a controlled snow fixture. The three recorded underside faces are clear in this view; exposed steps remain snowy. This is a bounded sample check, not full-map or hands-on acceptance.

Weathered stone blocks and worn paving around San d’Oria’s original wooden gate and heraldic plaques. — 8 October 2026Packaged material sample · Work in progress
Aged masonry in the editable gate sample
Unedited 8 October capture from the isolated packaged sample, under controlled daylight inspection lighting. Original aged surface materials cover retained source geometry. The sample passed automated route checks; this is not full regional rollout or owner acceptance.

Ronfaure: the starting point for the texture upgrade
My unedited 7 October playtest capture. The East–West Ronfaure passage worked during the session. This is the current scenery before the planned region-wide texture upgrade, not an upgraded or fully accepted result.

A narrow blue strip of sky is visible through a joint in the stone wall near the Voidwatch Purveyor in San d’Oria. — 7 October 2026Hands-on playtest · Work in progress
A visible opening beside the city wall joint
Unedited playtest evidence from 7 October. The narrow opening in the masonry needs geometry investigation and repair. A new texture alone would not close this gap.

Unedited 7 October playtest capture near the East San d’Oria exterior. Visible openings and intersecting surfaces are part of the repair backlog. This image documents an unresolved defect.

Four imported retail creature models shown from opposing views on a black comparison background — 4 October 2026Monster study · Work in progress
Recognizable creatures, original silhouettes
An isolated in-engine comparison board from the latest 64-model import batch. Sizes are normalized for inspection. This shows imported textured bodies, not final gameplay scale, combat animation, terrain contact or availability in the live world.

A pale sandy passage between layered rock walls and patches of green vegetation in the imported Valkurm Dunes layout — 4 October 2026World study · Work in progress
A first look inside Valkurm’s source layout
Original terrain and textures rendered in the standalone Valkurm Dunes development map on 4 October. This is a source-layout inspection; safe arrival, walkability, population, connections and packaged gameplay still need checks.

A rope bridge beside rocky terrain and outpost structures in the imported Ghelsba layout, with an unfinished visible boundary beneath — 4 October 2026World study · Work in progress
Ghelsba’s bridge and outpost structures
An unedited 4 October source-layout capture. The bridge, terrain and structures are visible, along with unfinished boundary geometry. This records import progress and remaining gaps; it is not a finished or connected playable zone.

Local character selection
The local account and character-entry prototype, using a test character. This is a functional development screen; the intended retail-style presentation, appearance restoration and saved-position entry still need work.
