What I’m building now
The next high-priority launch work is concentrated here:
- Rock - Large
- Rock Overgrown B
- Server Storage - 20PTB
// RELEASE DEVELOPMENT RECORD //
VITA is a game about
rebuilding observation.
This tracker is the public edge of the production board: what exists, what is only planned, what has proof, and what must be cleared before the first release can be trusted.
// THE SHORT VERSION //
What changed, without the production jargon.
What recently worked
These are the strongest currently published wins:
- Placeable Unlock Test Play Mode proven
- CALIBRATION POINT Play Mode proven
- SAVE SEALED Play Mode proven
What’s holding things up
32 hard launch targets are explicitly blocked. Across the full board, the main public-safe reasons are:
- Integration pending 93
- Needs runtime test 61
- Design revision 50

// SYSTEMS UNDER DEVELOPMENT //
Interface direction with purpose.
These are working visual specifications for the game’s major player-facing systems. They establish hierarchy, navigation, terminology, and the relationship between world truth and interface projection.

// RELEASE READINESS //
Built is not the same as ready.
VITA treats release confidence as a chain: authored content must be implemented, validated, proven in Play Mode, and finally locked against regression. The narrow green segment is intentional.

Hard release route// HOW TO READ THIS //
A compact release vocabulary.
Planned
The target is intentional and scoped, but implementation has not been credited.
Implemented
The target exists in the project. Runtime behavior or integration may still be unproven.
Validated
Static or runtime evidence supports the target. The exact evidence level remains visible.
Release locked
The target has Play Mode proof, no recorded blocker, and is counted toward the launch gate.
