Build log

Bottom Time
Renamed. The previous title shared its premise and its exact words with a 2025 feature film about a diver running out of oxygen — findable, confusable, and not worth arguing about later.

Bottom Time
Reshaped the opening. The first crate arrives sooner and the air warning states itself in words.

Rickety Park
Progressive disclosure pass. The incident log stays hidden until the first incident, so its arrival is information rather than furniture. An empty panel is worse than no panel.

Rickety Park
The bottom bar docked properly instead of floating 118px up and forming a third band of interface across the park.

Bottom Time
Fixed a fifty-second hole in the middle of a dive that seventeen green test suites had never noticed, because all of them asserted how a dive ended and none asserted what happened during it.

Rickety Park
Responsive layout. The previous build had no media queries at all — every position in the interface was a fixed desktop coordinate.

Represent
Added the sprint race system, and a deep pass in Hoops that changes what defenders have to cover.

Represent
Rebuilt the navigation arrow. The old maths pointed you correctly at one target and walked you steadily away from seven others — a bug you can only find by following it and noticing you're getting farther away.

Six at the Gate
Sound, synthesised rather than sampled — oscillators and a single noise buffer, so it adds no weight to the file and nothing to download.

Elderheart
Rewrote the opening. The Begin Adventure button was sitting below the fold on a phone and starting out disabled — measured at 1406px down a page with a 915px viewport. New players were landing on a screen with nothing to press. The empty save picker is gone too: a file dialog with no files in it isn't a choice, it's a wall.

Six at the Gate
Staggered the warband's durability across the roster. Six identical bodies engage together, take identical damage and die together — at one value nobody died all run, and a little lower the entire warband vanished inside four seconds. There is no number between those two outcomes, so the fix was to stop making them identical.

Represent
Fixed an opening screen that reported itself as loaded while still showing its own loading text. Every assertion passed; the screen was frozen.

Elderheart
Capped the power spread across the gear ladder. A fully mythic party was running away with fights against anything the early zones could field, which made the early zones pointless and the late ones trivial.

Six at the Gate
The focus ring now draws over everything. It was logically correct and completely invisible: at this camera angle the body it marks stands on top of it. A marker that exists to prevent confusion, causing exactly the confusion it existed to prevent.

Elderheart
Moved saves onto their own storage keys. Worth writing down: renaming a storage key silently deletes every existing player's save, so the old keys are still read and migrated rather than dropped.

Overreach
Rival climbers and a rolling pool of the fallen, so a tower fills up with actual previous attempts rather than decoration.

Overreach
Loot and four gear slots. The whole spread from nothing to fully equipped is capped deliberately — a browser game gets first-time players forever, and nobody's first climb should be decided by someone else's two hundred hours.

Overreach
The beacon. The game had a climb before this; it didn't have a decision.
