Project notes

Decisions

The initial playable target is pre-Zilart content at level 60 with recorded exceptions and a documented mix of era and current balance rules. Controls and presentation follow the retail client. Continuous joins already completed are retained; safe temporary zone transitions are permitted while playability is established. The first multiplayer target is 2–4 players in a player-hosted prototype. Spell visuals are staged: retail casting motions, interim spell effects, then faithful decoded effects. Proposals, automated test results and final acceptance remain separate. Public progress reporting does not imply a downloadable build or a release date.

Ideas

Nine proposals are recorded separately from delivery progress. Possibilities include environment improvements, accessibility and readable presentation, housing research, activity tracking, practice tools and optional quality-of-life features. A proposal's presence does not mean it has been approved or implemented. Each needs an explicit scope, player benefit, dependencies and acceptance criteria before it changes the development commitment.

Jobs

The planning roster contains 22 jobs with documented exceptions to the initial era target. Starting-job unlock exemptions are excluded from progress: 12 checklist steps are not applicable and 98 remain to do. The roster and source catalogs do not mean every job, ability, spell, trait or unlock route is playable. New combat and magic work is tracked separately while full job progression and acceptance remain open.

Missions

The inventory contains 36 nation missions with separate story, text, encounter, reward and acceptance steps. Source scripts and tested story/save foundations do not establish playable mission completion. The recorded mission checklist has no tested steps; 36 encounter steps are deferred. Full prerequisite routes, progression, rewards and playable mission acceptance remain to be demonstrated.

Overview

The current milestone is a playable San d'Oria region, with pre-Zilart content and a level-60 target plus approved exceptions. Work covers local accounts and saves, retail-style controls and menus, combat and magic, safe travel, and source-backed world assets. Existing continuous joins are retained; safe temporary zone transitions are allowed elsewhere while the game takes shape. Automated checks and selected packaged save/spell checks have passed at recorded checkpoints. Complete regional gameplay, physical-device testing, connected multiplayer and final visual acceptance remain open. These tracker counts describe recorded work, not an overall game-completion percentage.

Plans

Priorities are safe regional travel, the combat/loot/progression/save loop, faithful controls and UI, and source-backed content. The first connected multiplayer target is a player-hosted prototype for 2–4 players; dedicated hosting follows later. No connected-client result has been established. Additional zones can be prepared before every physical join is complete, but each destination still needs safe placement, correct identity and packaged travel checks. Visual upgrades and later eras remain separately staged.

Quests

The source inventory contains 533 quest records: 31 classified in scope, 14 excluded and 488 awaiting classification. None is recorded as tested. Unclassified entries are not a fixed delivery denominator. Each admitted quest needs its prerequisites, dialogue, objectives, rewards, save behavior and playable route checked before completion is claimed.

Systems

Local persistence, controls, retail-style UI and the combat framework have implementation and test evidence. The reviewed main checkpoint passed 585 headless and 596 offscreen tests, including one and two warning results respectively, with no failed or unrun tests. A newer development-branch checkpoint passed 592 headless and 604 offscreen tests, each with one warning; it adds Drain/Aspir, enspells and initial retail casting motions. That newer work was not included in the reviewed main package. Spell effects, remaining magic groups, complete progression and end-to-end player acceptance are still being developed.

Testing

This public snapshot was checked against all 764 tracker records, 388 evidence links and selected retained test reports. All 174 distinct evidence paths were present, and all 101 distinct populated commit references resolved. This was a records and retained-evidence review, not a new game test run. The reviewed main package passed 41 save-write, 28 save-reopen, 43 self-magic and 43 enemy-magic checks. Those checks do not establish full regional gameplay, physical controls, connected co-op, final visuals or release readiness. I have not recorded final playtest approval for any entry in this snapshot.

World

The tracker includes 92 zone records and a six-zone San d'Oria regional import. Import, collision, safe travel, population, packaged gameplay and final acceptance are separate milestones. Current planning retains the West/East Ronfaure and Southern/Northern San d'Oria continuous joins and permits safe temporary boundaries elsewhere. An isolated East Ronfaure river candidate passed four direct collision observations; it has not replaced the production map and does not establish walkable water or monster placement. Character and monster fidelity, materials, remaining routes, weather, water and regional traversal still need further checks.
