# Project State
|
|
|
|
## Project Reference
|
|
|
|
See: .planning/PROJECT.md (updated 2026-05-08)
|
|
|
|
**Core value:** Every idle mechanic must function as a metaphor that the player absorbs without being told. When economy and meaning conflict, meaning wins.
|
|
**Current focus:** Phase 1 — Foundations & Doctrine
|
|
|
|
## Current Position
|
|
|
|
Phase: 1 of 8 (Foundations & Doctrine)
|
|
Plan: 0 of TBD in current phase
|
|
Status: Ready to plan
|
|
Last activity: 2026-05-08 — Roadmap created, 77 v1 requirements mapped across 8 phases.

## Accumulated Context
|
|
|
|
### Decisions
|
|
|
|
Decisions are logged in PROJECT.md Key Decisions table.
|
|
Recent decisions affecting current work:
|
|
|
|
- Phase 1 will land all retrofit-hostile foundations (versioned saves, content/asset pipelines, sim/render firewall, anti-FOMO doctrine, Season 7 end-state design) before any feature code — research from all four researchers converged on this ordering.
|
|
- Phase 2 will ship Season 1 as a complete vertical slice that could *plausibly* ship as a free standalone prologue ahead of Seasons 2-7, defending against the 7-Season scope risk.
|
|
- Phases 4-7 deliver the remaining six Seasons in mechanic-introducing pairs (Season 2 alone with prestige, Seasons 3-4, Seasons 5-6, Season 7 alone) — at most one new mechanic per Season per the scope-defense doctrine.
|
|
|
|
### Pending Todos
|
|
|
|
None yet.
|
|
|
|
### Blockers/Concerns
|
|
|
|
Carry-forward banner concerns from research:
|
|
- **7-Season scope risk** is the project's biggest risk; defended by the standalone-Season-1 escape hatch (Phase 2) and the one-mechanic-per-Season cap.
|
|
- **Story ends but the loop doesn't** — Season 7 end-state design must land in Phase 1 (PIPE-05); finite Roothold ceiling enforced in Phase 4 (SEAS-04); credits/coda rest-state in Phase 7 (SEAS-10).
|
|
- **AI asset style drift** — provenance + curation + locked north-star reference set must land in Phase 1 (AEST-08, AEST-09, PIPE-03) before any production-volume asset generation in Phase 5+; visual regression testing in Phase 8 (PIPE-04).
