Dev logs and updates on the drone, the Expedition Ledger, the Bay and everything else going into the build — posted as it happens, no fabricated milestones, no invented numbers.
Six overlays became one Console with a tab rail. The joystick got a home. The Chart learned to show you every region you know about, locked ones included, and say exactly what's standing in the way. Abilities are class-locked now, drilled and bought rather than free. And the objective chip finally answers "what do I do now" for real.
Read the notes →Somewhere in The Lower Dark sits a fault the scope refuses to read — now a real, playable siege. Twelve strikes a day, five hard-gated walls, and a promise: paying can only move the day forward, never the wall.
Read the notes →A socket cut into a part, a graded stone to fit it, deterministic Fusion, and a +1–10 Refinement ladder with published odds. The whole system is real, tested and save-safe — and we're saying plainly that the cockpit console to actually touch it isn't built yet.
Read the log →Every dive now banks XP on one account-wide ladder to Level 100. Cross Level 5 and it isn't a menu — it's a bench lighting up at the Berth, three drone classes waiting, and a choice that's yours to make.
Read the notes →The Expedition Ledger is a real book now: thirty pages, each undiscovered creature held as a silhouette until you find it. Complete a page and its bonus is no longer a promise — it is wired straight into the fleet's stats, permanently.
Read the log →Ten drone parts are in the content catalog now — headlights, hull plating, engines, claws and the rest — five of them earnable upgrades over the stock coastal-tier loadout. And a first stand-in for wreck salvage: five one-time milestones, from charting the Twilight field to a full creature sweep, each granting a part the moment you reach it.
Read the notes →The custom Canvas2D engine now runs a dive end to end: descent, lamps, currents, cargo and the climb back to the surface, at a steady frame rate on a five-year-old laptop. Nothing is drawn that does not need drawing. The first playable build follows from here.
Read the notes →Every creature you record is drawn into your own field journal — silhouette first, then the entry, then the page bonus that pays your fleet from that day on. We are building the Ledger before the shop, because what a pilot keeps matters more than what a pilot buys.
Read the log →Bathys: deep. The mark is a wide-tracked serif with a lure light suspended over the Y — the smallest possible piece of bioluminescence, and the only thing in the wordmark that moves. Palette, type and voice are settled. The page you are reading is the first thing built from them.
