Build Log
Latest build
v1.0.0 2026-09-08
- The first store release: The same game the beta testers have been playing, headed for Google Play
- Two new structures: The Comms Dish on First Light, and the Waypoint Beacon in the Deep Field, whose ball floats over the spire inside two rings that orbit, tilt and reverse on their own
- Catch snapshots are taken up close: The asset fills the frame with the ship behind it, so every catch in the catalog is recognisable
- Anything you caught on Scrap now counts for Monty (the last update credited a mentor by mistake)
- The Archivist's hand and back items sit where the editor put them
- The Hall of Records headers and the disk messages read in all 15 languages
- A store build never shows the practice ad stand-in
- The ship keeps its belly to the ground through fast turns over small worlds instead of rolling out sideways
v1.0.18 2026-09-15
- Credits: The Skip button sits top-right and the brigade ID cards stay on screen with the bigger type
v1.0.17 2026-09-15
- Tap a hologram and it answers in static: Bzzt!, BZZRRT!, KZZZT! Or Bzzzz..., each with its own sound
- Every language catches up: The Kids edition, the Deploy box, the leaderboard name replies, INTEL, WREN's new line and the hologram static
- The full test build: Every check ran and the picture baselines were re-blessed
v1.0.16 2026-09-15
- A new Nerd Rift: The theme is louder and cleaner on a phone, all three layers audible, no more crackle at high volume (+0.63 MB)
- Every ability button stays on the bar: Greyed at zero on the phone, priced on the web
- The disk counter sits under the score and the X on the web
- The Skip button moved under the score, out of the ability row
v1.0.15 2026-09-15
- Web: A transmission pays 10 disks, every time; the balance shows the credit before you spend it
- Web: An INTEL button buys the asset's gear reveal for 10 disks
- Web: Taps register on slow devices, the score summary is wider, and the between-level crossing plays without the button strip
- Web and Kids: Catching a droid floats a +100 over it
- The pause menu no longer hides a droid behind the disk counter
- The level summary no longer repeats the campaign and difficulty line
v1.0.14 2026-09-14
- Bigger type everywhere: Captions, body lines and buttons read larger on small phones
- The tutorial can be skipped on the web
v1.0.12 2026-09-14
- The Nerd is visible again on every level after the first in one sitting: Since 1.0.0 the crossing between worlds hid the new world's target, and a timeout showed an empty spotlight
- The Mission Brief lists all four abilities every time, even at x0, and the droid deployments moved into their own Deploy box under the asset
- The bridge talks play every line: A tap used to skip the next speaker
- The ship parks along the hangar it hovers over
- Level 2 teaches the Survey Sweep and the Prism Sweep in the field; level 1 keeps the Signal Ping and the Time Anchor
- The summary card shows the stars you earned on the level
- The cleared X lands the moment you tap a bystander
- Leaderboard names: A name on a board belongs to the player who put it there; the game asks for another if it is taken, and rude names are refused
- The game-over card fits the screen and closes with an X; Settings lines up Difficulty, Language and Help; menu and Labs cards read tighter
- The asset portrait sits centred in its box
v1.0.10 2026-09-14
- The bridge talks read clean in English: "Let's", "an old note", "the rifts opened", and a stray dot is gone
- The practice chapter list no longer rides up over its header now that the Field Catalog sits in it
v1.0.9 2026-09-14
- Arriving at a new sector is smoother: The ship climbs away from the rift in one motion and the camera swings after it without a jolt
- The Mission Brief fits the screen again: Nothing hides under the bottom edge, and on a tight screen the brief tightens its type and portraits before it drops anything
v1.0.8 2026-09-14
- The bridge talks have been rewritten: The G.E.E.K. Mentors, Arbee and Alpha tell the story of the N.U.L.L. Swarms in their own words, and the ending and the game-over line follow suit, in all fifteen languages
- Crowds actually chat now: Every world that can host a huddle gets one, and passers-by walk up, join the circle and drift off again
- Web edition: The search ends with the mentors' talk at the table, the ship diving into the rift and a To Be Continued; the Exit button is gone from the web title (a page cannot close itself)
- The calm bed of the Nerd Rift soundtrack is louder again
- Crowd walkers no longer slide a step on an idle pose or stand a beat on a walking one
- Cass is back in her own chair at the bridge table: For a week the cut scenes had seated Monty Magnetar there under his name
v1.0.7 2026-09-14
- Real rewarded transmissions: The rescue, the Intel boost and the two droid deploys in the brief play an ad (test ads until the store listing is live), with the consent form where the law asks for it
- The Nerd picks his hiding spot with room to spare and plans around the crowd, so he no longer dithers on a knife-edge cover
v1.0.6 2026-09-14
- No grey flash between the studio card and the title
- Settings tabs look like tabs, sitting on a framed page; the Options rows scroll inside it
- Crowd members walk somewhere on purpose: To a terminal, a seat, a chat, a structure, the pond or the rim, and stay a moment before moving on
- The gear, arrows and check marks draw on every platform, the web included
- Sound on the web edition, and the web title gets its own painting
- Tank's and Pixel's packs sit the way the editor set them in every pose; the floppy disk icon faces you straight on
- Debug builds: Saving in the editor never changes the pose you are looking at; the Developer tab has its own page
v1.0.5 2026-09-13
- Settings is tabs: Play, Sound, Options and About, one short page each; no more arrows on the buttons, and the language you picked reads centred
- Performance in Options: Auto picks a tier for your phone, or choose Low, Medium or High yourself; the shadow switches still win when you set them
- The spotlight on the Nerd who got away never shows where the light comes from
- On the bridge only the mentors, Fulano, Arbee and Alpha ever sit; Cass carries the line Pepito used to
- The boards fill their open ranks per mode; only the Daily Mission board changes its crew by the day
- The Daily Directive is called the Daily Mission everywhere
- Aria's remaining hand items follow her puzzle grip until she is tuned; every cello case turns its wide end away from the carrying hand
- Debug builds: A Developer tab; copying gear between a right-hander and a left-hander mirrors the grip and scales it to the body; Copy ALL carries a hand item with its wrists, a back item as position and scale
v1.0.4 2026-09-13
- The Nerd no longer marches in place against a crowd: A blocked step turns into a new route or a real stop
v1.0.3 2026-09-13
- The Space Nerd Studios card plays at every launch, and the engine splash shows the studio mark instead of the Godot logo
- Neo wears his solar power pack the same in every pose
v1.0.2 2026-09-13
- A lost Daily Mission is on record too: The day's screen shows the Nerd who got away, and the board sits beside the print instead of under it
- The boards fill their open ranks with N.E.R.D. Crew records, marked as crew and always below real players
- World Archives level grids sit in even rows of five or fewer
- Closing a screen with X or Back returns you to the menu you came from
- The Campaign panel: New Timeline doors read as doors, and every column shows a value
- Settings carries How to Play and the Tutorial
- Skyla, Lumi, Pepito and Ozu wear their packs the way the editor set them, in every pose; Aria's puzzle sits the same in every pose and her cello case turns its wide end away from her working hand
- Debug builds: The gear editor opens from the Developer row in Settings (the hidden droid taps are gone), poses step back and forward, undo and redo clear on save and never move you off the pose you are viewing
v1.0.1 2026-09-13
- The main menu is four cards: Campaign, Daily Mission, N.E.R.D. Labs, World Archives

- Cosmo Comet keeps his cape: No back item ever lands on him
- Scrap, Daemon and Beez have joined the crowd; anything you caught on them now counts for Monty, Neo and Pixel
- The nerd no longer picks a hiding spot from where the camera used to be, so he stays hidden after every camera cut
- The Hall of Records reads as a table: Rank, name and score in their own columns
- Fresh gear positions for the cello case and the tablet on five characters, and the tablet's correction carried to the rest of their handhelds
v0.10.179 2026-09-06
- The Frontier turret has its gun back: The ship no longer parks on it, and its tracers never cross the ship's path
- The found asset and the droids stay out of sight while the ship crosses to the next world
- A character carrying the cello keeps a handheld that does not swing, so nothing clips into the case
- Only the ability droids make droid sounds; the drifting ones are quiet
- The Asset Bay shows every assembled structure whole, with the arrows where they belong
- The borrowed space stations wear their own hue over First Light, the Frontier and the Anomaly

v0.10.176 2026-09-06

- Every chapter's ground comes in more variants now, different face to face and still one world

- The Asset Bay shows the assembled structures moving, not just their bases

v0.10.172 2026-09-06

v0.10.170 2026-09-05

- Every world grows its own cover now: Boulders, thorn scrub, ore rubble, roots, crystal and obsidian shards, sparingly
- The ship crosses between worlds nose-first, banking into its turns and levelling out before it arrives
- New droid bodies: The Signal, Survey and Prism droids each have their own look, and a few decorative droids now drift around each world, bleeping when tapped
- Alien ships cross the sky over every world, each chapter its own kind, all four over the Belt
- Tapping the wrong person no longer costs points or seconds; they just say something nerdy while the clock runs
v0.10.169 2026-09-05
- The Mirror worlds have a sky: An orbital lab circles each one, with a comm array on a higher orbit
- Mirror worlds also grow an orbital uplink: A mast of crystal leaves that turns slowly and reverses when it feels like it
- A title menu card no longer sits highlighted on its own
- Sky orbits are measured from the ship's own height: Habitats at twice it, asteroids from three times out
- Three new crew on the roster: Pepito Parsec, Fulano de Tauri and Asere Moonina

- B2-T the Survey Droid and B3-T the Prism Droid now wear their own colours head to toe - Green and violet - In the world and on the mission dashboard

- The Survey and Prism field lessons hand you a free sweep to try, like the Time Anchor lesson does
v0.10.163 2026-09-03
- The field now teaches B2-T and B3-T: The first time you stock a Survey or Prism Sweep a lesson rings the button, and the first hologram you dissolve or tap explains the fakes
- Fixed a bug from 0.10.162 where the Time Anchor lesson could freeze the clock without showing its card on a fresh profile
- Holograms no longer blink out - They fizz with static every few seconds, some never stop fizzing, and the ones deep in a conversation stay clean

- Each mission now rolls TWO droids from the fleet of four - Check your brief to see who came along
- The big secret: About half of any crowd are N.U.L.L. Holograms - Fakes made of light. Watch closely and you might catch one blink

- Once hidden she stays put and repositions quietly, so spotting her again means actually searching

Full development log (1560 commits)
2026-09-15
- 05:19 story: the bundle regenerated from the translated siblings (315 build)
- 05:00 i18n: the compiled .translation tables regenerated by the import (the two translation passes)
- 05:00 release: 1.0.17 (code 314, the FULL BUILD) and 1.0.18 (code 315) on the phone, beta1 and beta1/web
- 03:59 bump: 1.0.18 (code 315)
- 03:59 golden: re-bless lv1, lv3-lv8, brief, credits and structs on the 314 full build (Alf 2026-09-15 "accept a re-bless"; render-verifier read all ten - credits after the Skip/ID-card fix); the ledger closes both brief lines
- 03:57 credits: the Skip moves top-right and the ID card rides higher with a nine-line bio - the bigger type had pushed a role label into the button and a bio off the frame (golden credits trip, the 314 full build; render-verifier UI-1); golden-frames: a Godot exit note no longer joins the frame path (the arrival "System.Object[]" trip)
- 02:30 i18n: the leftover story siblings - How to Play's four ABILITY sections and PRO MOVE, the 18-step tutorial lines, the b0-t bio in fourteen locales (translator, check-i18n PASS strict)
- 01:51 i18n: the full-build translation pass - the Kids strings, Deploy, the leaderboard refusals, INTEL, WREN's line in fourteen siblings, the four hologram tells (translator, check-i18n PASS 507 rows x 15)
- 01:41 reports: proposed-v40 (the 09-14/09-15 rulings, T71 closed, UI-26 amendments); the ledger closes the transmission reward at 10 (the Opus performance review stays local at reports/perf-review-2026-09-15.md)
- 01:18 bump: 1.0.17 (code 314) - the full build
- 01:18 golden: the brief target renders the brief (no --seed, which _show_briefing refuses; --jump=3 like the layout probes) - ledger 2026-09-07, Prompt F
- 01:16 hologram: a tapped fake says its static and plays it - Bzzt!, BZZRRT!, KZZZT! or Bzzzz... (Alf 2026-09-15, T71 ruled)
- 01:10 release: 1.0.16 (code 313) on the phone, beta1 and beta1/web - the new Nerd Rift, the always-seated ability bar, the disk counter and Skip under the score
- 00:43 bump: 1.0.16 (code 313)
- 00:43 hud: every ability button always seated (greyed at zero on mobile, priced on the web), the disk counter under the score and the X, the Skip under them (Alf 2026-09-15)
- 00:38 audio: the new Nerd Rift (V6 Neon) - three leveled layers in place of the quiet, clipping sines (Alf 2026-09-14, the music project's pick)
- 00:37 release: 1.0.15 (code 312) on beta1 and beta1/web - the web round, a third less crowd
2026-09-14
- 23:48 bump: 1.0.15 (code 312)
- 23:48 story: Alf's rewrite of WREN's opening line (found in the tree 2026-09-14; locale siblings queued)
- 23:48 Merge branch 'worktree-agent-adeae5ce687c479bb'
- 23:47 hud: the bar label fits the button's real margins, and the crossing drops the X too
- 23:38 crowd: a third less people and holograms on every board, one global factor (Alf 2026-09-14: "too crowded ... interfering with the playability on the web version. Woukd be good for all versions")
- 23:12 web: the transmission pays a flat ten disks, an intel purchase, a wider summary card, the chrome leaves for the crossing, a +100 for every droid (Alf 2026-09-14, web round)
- 19:26 release: 1.0.14 (code 311) on the phone, beta1 and beta1/web - the type scale, the web tutorial skip, the camera stop
- 18:39 hud: the field-lesson card never eats a tap (the bigger type reached the screen centre and the mark acts stalled - W14 leg 1 on 310)
- 18:37 camera: a wall stops the lens dead - the flick dies on contact and the solidity net holds its exact push (Alf 2026-09-14: "When you back into a structure or zoom into it, it should stop you, not glitch")
- 18:26 ui: bigger type everywhere through one rule (UiFx.fs), and the tutorial is skippable on the web (Alf 2026-09-14)
- 16:55 release: 1.0.12 (code 309) on the phone, beta1 and beta1/web - the build stamp of the shipped APK; every edition gets its own stamp sidecar
- 16:39 requirements: proposed-v39 - the 1.0.10 device round (SP-23 one tap one line, UI-48 the brief architecture, UI-49 the game-over card, UI-50 the X on the tap, SC-8 stars on the summary, NW-6/NW-7 leaderboard names, BR-30 web required structures; HM-2/HM-7/HM-19/TU-7/8/9/UI-33/UI-35/WB-6 amendments; T71 the hologram's silence)
- 16:19 version: 1.0.12 (code 309) - the invisible-Nerd fix rides with the device round; rebuild.ps1 no longer trips over its own -Preset parameter
- 16:18 Merge branch 'fix/mentor-cone-no-body'
- 16:17 version: 1.0.11 (code 308) - Alf's device round, the web turret fix, the level 2 lessons
- 16:16 fix: the crossing hide takes the world being LEFT, not the one flown to - every level after the first was hunted with an invisible Nerd (Alf on 1.0.10 L2: "Alpha wasn't there, it showed me a cone with no one in it")
- 16:15 Merge branch 'worktree-agent-ae694009298558d5c'
- 16:15 web: level 2 needs the turret it required - the three turret models leave the diet's exclude list (Alf: "Web version got stuck after level 1")
- 16:15 feedback: Alf's 1.0.10 device round - the brief rebuilt around a Deploy box and a full supplies strip, one tap one line in the cut scenes, the X on the tap, the ship parked along the hangar, the game-over card, the Settings grid, the card spacing, the centred portrait, the stars on the summary
- 16:11 teaching: Level 2 teaches Prism and Survey, Level 1 Sonar and Time (Alf 2026-09-14, device 1.0.10)
- 16:10 signing: the kids alias findthenerdkids is on record - check-signing verifies the kids Play artifact against its fingerprint (BR-29 b, proposed)
- 15:17 kids: the mechanics Alf ruled - points-only droids, one Super Find from its ad, Hint as the reveal, no wrong-mark count, a one-button HUD (behind Portal.is_kids(); the main game unchanged)
- 14:57 requirements: proposed-v38 - the kids edition (KD-1 to KD-7: no-ability droids, Super Find capacity one, Hint = intel, wrong mark costs nothing, the kids units, the Families posture, the kids app id at export); T70 against HM-14; three open points for Alf
- 14:52 kids: the build path - rebuild.ps1 -Preset Kids, publish-apk.ps1 -Kids, the Kids Play AAB preset (Prompt C, Alf 2026-09-14)
- 14:52 ads: the flip gate, the kids AdMob app and its three units, the Families request configuration behind Portal.is_kids() (Prompt B, Alf 2026-09-14)
- 14:52 build: version identity by configuration (Prompt A, accepted by Alf 2026-09-14) - the presets tracked, one version source, one stamp for every export, shown and sent
- 14:48 release: 1.0.10 (code 307) to the phone - the build stamp and the story bundle of the shipped APK
- 14:38 docs: the engineering handover as the business session finished it tonight - Prompt A accepted, the kids AdMob app and its three units, the kids mechanics Alf ruled, the ftn-groom ruling
- 14:36 version: 1.0.10 (code 307) - the typo pass, the title column fix and the fit-pass guard, phone only
- 14:36 story: the eight English slips in the bridge talks and the ending (handover prompt E) - Let's, an old note, the rifts opened, the stray dot, Cosmo put his helmet back on
- 14:25 title: Time Sync and Hall of Records titles clear their content (UI audit 2026-09-14, UI-1)
- 14:16 docs: engineering handover from the business session, 2026-09-14 - prompts A to F (version identity, the ad flip and the Kids posture, the Kids build path, branch and worktree hygiene, the dialog typos, the golden re-bless)
- 14:16 title: the practice chapter column clears the header (UI audit 2026-09-14, UI-1)
- 14:04 requirements: proposed-v37 - the 2026-09-14 afternoon asks (SP-22 fluid arrival, UI-47 the brief fits, OP-23 capped waiters, OP-24 branch hygiene, BR-28 version identity, BR-29 kids lanes; T69 portrait play vs UI-27)
- 13:55 release: 1.0.9 (code 306) on beta1 and the phone - the build stamp of the shipped APK, and the ledger line for the brief golden
- 13:48 brief: the fit pass stops when the brief is freed mid-fit (a rebuilt brief frees the old column between steps; the typed call then raised Invalid type)
- 13:09 version: 1.0.9 (code 306) - the smooth rift arrival and the fitting brief; the on-device test-ad receipt
- 13:09 brief: the Mission Brief fits its frame - a measured fit pass tightens type, gaps and portraits before it drops anything (Alf: cut off at the bottom on the phone)
- 13:09 arrival: the chase lens aims at frame_pre_draw, and a sky launch climbs instead of leaping (Alf: the rift cut scene stutters when the view follows the ship)
- 12:05 docs: business handover 2026-09-14 - the store, ads, web and content decisions Alf made and the 17 questions still his
- 04:47 i18n: the 15 imported .translation resources regenerated from the 490-row CSV (the 305 import)
- 04:47 release: 1.0.8 (code 305) on beta1 - the build stamp, the update token and the story bundle of the shipped APK
- 04:04 version: 1.0.8 (code 305) - the story rewrite in 15 languages, chat huddles, the web ending, Cass in her own chair
- 04:04 story: the 2026-09-13 loading tip (the N.U.L.L. Swarm line) in its 14 siblings; every story translation hash current
- 03:50 requirements: proposed v36 - the 2026-09-14 rulings (web diet WB-18..20, no web Exit WB-21, chat huddles WP-39, the store and ads decisions MZ-11..14, the web ending SP-21 narrowing T59 as T68, the Gradle guards BR-27, the calm bed 1.6 amendment, the translation trigger)
- 03:49 story: Alf's rewrite of the bridge talks, the ending and the game-over line (the N.U.L.L. swarms, Fulano's name gag, Find The Nerd as the carbon-dated note), the 56 locale siblings re-synced line for line by the translator; credits name Claude Fable 5.1 and The Floating Jelly; the translation hashes refreshed (loading.md stays flagged until its 2026-09-13 tip line is translated)
- 03:14 check-audio: the gain-floor row is AU-10 (its accepted ID since the v33 fold), not AU-11 - v35 proposes AU-11 for the Music bus
- 03:07 i18n: the CSV backlog since 2026-09-13 in all 15 locales - 70 rows (the Settings tabs and Performance tiers, Daily Mission, the web droid tiles and captions, mouse-and-keyboard controls, disks, the title crew rows, TO BE CONTINUED); the Auto (tier) caption translates both halves itself (auto-translate looked up the formatted string and missed)
- 03:05 story: Cass sits in her own chair again - the bridge resolved speakers through the catalog's catch-credit forward, which has sent CASS to Monty's body and name since 2026-09-07 (render-verifier 2026-09-14); Cast.live_info for the stage, the STORYSTAGE dump names each seat's body and SP-20 compares it; the web ending hides the HUD for the rift dive
- 02:51 merge crowd/chat-groups: chat huddles on every face that can host one and walk-up joins that land, plus the three WP-3 honesty fixes from the 304 smoke (legs credited in 3D on slopes, a popped corner stands a beat on idle, a boxed resume step hands the step back)
- 02:51 web: the web edition ending - the between-sectors beat at the table, the ship into the rift under TO BE CONTINUED, then the card (Alf 2026-09-14); story_scene reaches the Audio autoload through the main loop so the first line of a beat plays its voice without an out-of-tree get_node error
- 02:49 crowd: chat huddles on every face that can host one, and walk-up joins that land (Alf 2026-09-14)
- 02:00 check-audio: AU-11 accepts a trailing comment on the BED_GAIN line (the 1.6 raise carries its date note and false-FAILed the 304 smoke)
- 01:37 rebuild: two Gradle export traps from the first 1.0.7 build - drop stale *.import sidecars in the Android template res/ (they failed the resource merger) and assert org.gradle.daemon=false (the lingering daemon held Godot's stdout pipe, so the export never returned after the APK was written)
- 01:22 merge web/diet: the web cast (6 targets, the mentors, 4 drones, 4 aliens, 2 robots), three soundtracks, the CJK fonts fetched on demand from fonts/ next to the page - the Web Store package 300.8 to 201.7 MB, Android unchanged
- 01:15 web: the diet - the web cast subset, three soundtracks, CJK fonts fetched on demand (Alf 2026-09-14)
- 01:01 web: no Exit on the web title (a page cannot close its tab); Nerd Rift's calm bed to 1.6 (Alf: raise it again)
- 00:44 version: 1.0.7 (code 304) - the evasion fix and real rewarded ads
- 00:42 merge ads/admob-plugin: real rewarded ads through AdMob on Android - consent, the 13+ configuration, Alf's four placements behind LIVE_IDS, his App ID, check-ads; the Android and Kids presets export with Gradle
- 00:41 ads: the AdMob plugin (Poing v5.1.0) in the Android build - consent first, the 13+ request configuration, one rewarded ad per unit, Alf's four placements (Intel, Droid 1, Droid 2, Continue) behind LIVE_IDS, his App ID in project.godot; check-ads.ps1
- 00:06 merge crowd/l3-escape-reversals: the evader plans cover with slack and around crowd bodies - a knife-edge cell and a walker on the approach were the 303 smoke's L3 s130 Hard FAIL (crowd-warden)
- 00:04 crowd: the evader picks cover he can HOLD - goal slack, body-aware cover routes, no ladder-bottom about-face (HM-1 L3 s130 Hard)
2026-09-13
- 23:40 build: 1.0.6 code 303 stamp (built, held by the L3 s130 evasion check); the web title painting's import file
- 23:36 store answers: the developer website is spacenerds.com on every listing, one app-ads.txt at the studio root; ads declared from the first release
- 23:32 docs: handover for the websites project - the three editions, what is live where, and where every painting lives
- 23:17 rules: the store decisions - Everyone 13+, no purchases in the first release, AdMob rewarded ads from the first release (Alf 2026-09-13)
- 23:04 ledger: the 303 smoke's evasion FAIL on L3 s130 Hard (1.0.6 held)
- 22:13 requirements: proposed v35 - the evening of 2026-09-13 (purposeful wander, tabs, clear colour, editor save, the audio bus, symbol glyphs, eight web rows)
- 22:13 version: 1.0.6 (code 303) - the evening of 2026-09-13
- 22:12 settings: real tabs on the pause screen's framed panel (rounded tops, open bottoms, the lit tab orange); the Options rows scroll inside the frame; the rules log's evening entry
- 21:59 merge crowd/purposeful-wander: a crowd leg goes to a point of interest - seats, stations, chat spots, props, structures, the pond, the rim - and dwells there; the 5 u floor is gone (Alf: it should be based on their destination)
- 21:58 crowd: purposeful wander - a leg goes to a point of interest, the 5 u floor retired
- 21:23 merge editor/save-keeps-pose: no re-dress in the bench changes the viewed pose or clip phase - the leave guard's Save all was the jump to the carry walk (gear-editor)
- 21:22 editor: a re-dress never changes the viewed pose or phase - the leave-guard's Save all ran the gear cycle it guarded through _apply_gear and the walk-to-carry nudge flipped the bench; a same-seat gear cycle keeps the view (ED-5); --editwalk gains save, guardsave, guarddiscard
- 21:16 gear: Alf's evening round - Tank's walk and Pixel's female walk packs on every pose, a tuned carry walk kept (Alf 2026-09-13)
- 21:08 boot: the engine clear colour is the intro navy - the grey frame between the studio card and the title is gone (Alf: a blank grey or green screen between the logo and the menu)
- 20:34 merge web/scope-chapter-one: one Campaign card on the web, no links out on the CrazyGames portal, the SDK data mirror for saves, the Web Store preset with a 234-pattern trim (578.8 to 298.4 MB, no content cut)
- 20:33 web: chapter-one scope - one Campaign card, portal hides links, SDK data mirror, Web Store preset trim
- 20:30 web: the Find The Nerd Web title painting from the drop folder behind Portal.is_web(); the floppy disk icon re-rendered straight on at 256 px (Alf: it looked weird at an angle)
- 20:28 merge web/hud-disks-controls: on the web abilities spend disks and fire on one press, a not-enough card offers a rewarded transmission, droids give a disk with two-line names, mouse and keyboard controls with their guide (Alf's 10, 11, 12)
- 20:28 web: disks spend and fire, the not-enough card, droids give a disk, mouse and keyboard controls (Alf 2026-09-13 items 10-12)
- 20:18 fonts: Noto Sans Symbols and Symbols 2 ride as fallbacks behind every theme font - the gear, arrows, checks and crosses draw on the web too (Alf: the 2699 boxes)
- 20:03 audio: the Music bus lives in a static bus layout - the runtime add_bus wired a feedback loop on the web and the game was silent there
- 18:59 build: 1.0.5 code 302 - the afternoon of 2026-09-13, smoke PASS 16 of 16 on the rerun
- 18:37 ledger: the hop line is 50 after 25 read 38 on the 302 smoke
- 18:37 checks: check-perf reads the Options tab builder, check-audio accepts CRLF lines, the hop line 50 (25 read 38 on the 302 smoke)
- 18:13 version: 1.0.5 (code 302) - the afternoon of 2026-09-13; touched-smoke keeps both static checks (perf, audio) after the merge
- 18:12 merge tools/unset-lines: the UNSET numbers become FAIL lines on Alf's word - audio gain 1.33, crowd tick 4 ms, oob-loop 5, hops 25, gear bar 0 (Play release only); cover 0.50 and slip 30 stay report-only with findings
- 18:12 requirements: v32 and v33 folded on Alf's rulings of 2026-09-13 - register 228 to 264, T62 to T67 closed; v34 proposed (the afternoon's rulings)
- 18:04 ledger: five UNSET numbers closed at Alf's proposed figures, two stay open with the day's findings
- 18:04 checks: the UNSET numbers become pass/fail lines at the proposed figures (Alf 2026-09-13)
- 17:47 merge perf/tiers: Auto / Low / Medium / High performance tiers (Alf: per-device tuning, the tier overrides the specific switches, the switches still win when touched)
- 17:46 golden: re-bless lv1, lv3, lv4, lv6, lv8 and structs on Alf's word (crowd LOD, the seeded arcs, the editor picker); tools/publish-web.ps1 - the web edition under beta1/web; the story bundle with Cass's line
- 17:46 perf: per-device performance tiers - Auto / Low / Medium / High on the Options tab
- 17:46 merge editor/t64-mirror-refit: cross-handed copies mirror, every copy refits by body size, and the hand refit was inert (gear-editor)
- 17:45 editor: cross-handed copies mirror and every cross-character copy re-fits by body size (T64 a1 + b1); Cast.bone_span reads a leaf bone
- 17:38 records: the rules of the afternoon (tabs, Paste ALL, the roster), pending strings
- 17:38 web: the web edition never touches the mobile leaderboard (WB-7) - no fetch, no submit, no queue, no Hall, the secret out of the export
- 17:38 story: the bridge roster is a rule - Pepito's beat goes to Cass, check-story asserts the staged models (SP-20 proposed)
- 17:38 settings: tabs - Play, Sound, Options, About, and Developer on debug builds (Alf: "lets do C / Tabs")
- 17:38 reveal: the spotlight cone never shows its apex - a fade to nothing toward the top, cut past the frame or short of the lens; the rift arcs take the level seed
- 17:28 merge editor/paste-all-slots: Paste ALL by family - hand plus both wrists, back as position and scale (gear-editor)
- 17:27 editor: Paste ALL per family - back carries position and scale, hand carries the item and both wrists
- 14:51 menus: no arrows on the Settings buttons, the language value centred, crew rows per day only on the Daily board, the rift's arcs seed-locked
- 14:51 gear, records: Aria's untuned hand rows take the puzzle grip; the 1.0.3 waiver; the afternoon's rulings; build 301 stamp
- 14:16 requirements: proposed v33 - the asks of 2026-09-12 and 09-13 (analyst, propose-only)
- 14:16 version: 1.0.4 (code 301) - the evader's treadmill watch; 300 never left the box
- 14:15 merge crowd-warden/wp3-nerd-carry-walk-stop: the evader's treadmill watch (crowd-warden)
- 14:14 crowd: the evader runs the 0.4s net-progress stall watch too - HM-1 ladder response
- 13:17 intro: the studio card at every launch and a studio boot splash; Neo's seat pack row consistent; version 1.0.3 (code 300)
- 13:05 build: 1.0.2 code 299 - the ten of 2026-09-13, smoke PASS 14 of 14
- 12:29 version: 1.0.2 (code 299) - release notes and the gamelog entry for the ten of 2026-09-13
- 12:29 gear: Aria's idle puzzle row on every pose, her pack on the seat, and every cello case mirrored to the off-hand side (Alf 2026-09-13)
- 12:29 menus: the ten of 2026-09-13 - lost daily on record, crew rows, kids title, even level rows, back goes home, livelier slots, learn row in Settings, editor as a debug option
- 11:57 merge editor/pose-nav-undo: pose Prev/Next, undo stacks clear on save, undo keeps the viewed pose, the seven-tap knock removed (gear-editor)
- 11:56 editor: pose Prev/Next, undo clears on save and keeps the viewed pose, editor entry moves to the debug Settings row
- 11:45 gear: Alf's device round of 2026-09-13 - 300 edits, 12 seeded wrist rows, walking-pose packs inherited
- 11:38 build: 1.0.1 code 298 - the six asks of 2026-09-12, smoke PASS 14 of 14
2026-09-12
- 14:54 merge howto/portrait-centred: portraits centre on the posed body (gear-editor)
- 14:52 portraits: centre the character on its posed body, never the gear (Alf: the Missing Asset is not centered)
- 14:50 merge crowd/anim-lod: per-character LOD for the phone (crowd-warden)
- 14:48 crowd: per-character LOD - off-screen hold, band strides, nerd exempt, --crowdcost
- 13:58 rules: mentors speak only in the Campaign (Alf 2026-09-12)
- 13:52 version: 1.0.1 (code 298) - the name counts per build until Play (Alf); the notes since beta1 293 under 1.0.1
- 13:49 perf: the phone renders 3D at 0.7 scale with 1024 hard shadows (the Note20 sampler of 2026-09-12)
- 13:47 game: Nerd Rift bed and tense tiers louder, sub-screen titles 38, the Nerdverse tip reworded, mentors mute outside the Campaign (Alf 2026-09-12)
- 13:27 build: the version code rides beside the name (Alf: so I know what version I am running on the phone)
- 13:25 rules: the version name counts 1.0.1, 1.0.2 ... until the Play release (Alf)
- 12:26 build: 1.0.0 code 297 - the menu rulings, the evader loop fix, the seat rule; smoke PASS 13 of 13
- 12:00 gamelog: code 297 - the evader loop root cause and fix
- 11:59 Merge branch crowd/evade-oob-loop: the evader never loops on an out-of-bounds waypoint (HM-1, the 296 smoke)
- 11:58 reports: ledger - HM-1 oob loop root cause and the row 2e threshold (UNSET)
- 11:58 tools: check-evasion row 2e - the oob-loop belt (5 at one position, PROPOSED)
- 11:58 crowd: evader oob loop - robust _in_bounds, oob cell ban, spot-streak rebuild
- 11:27 ledger: the evader loop did not repeat on a rerun - a reachable state, not a regression
- 11:22 ledger: the evader out-of-bounds waypoint loop caught by the 296 smoke (L8 s13 Hard)
- 10:55 reqs: v32 part E - the menu rulings folded (UI-34 to UI-36, SV-9, TU-10, MZ-10, five amendments), T65 closed, T66 the Daily Mission rename scope
- 10:53 settings: the Sound page scrolls its fourteen rows so the header stays on a 720 canvas (verifier)
