Studio briefing -- morning shift
The MiRiS circle reconvened at first light. Three prototype builds stack on the table; coffee rings already mark the timetable. Today's directive: refine the asymmetric tension that defines our combat loop.
Combat prototype reaches feature complete
Build M07 closes the last of the open-systems hooks. Damage timing is consistent across hardware classes; parry windows feel deliberate. The team has signed the milestone log -- this build will tour internally for one week before the public log entry on miris.bar.
- parry/riposte parity verified across 12 archetype matchups
- terrain modifiers ported to the new physics layer
- save-state regression suite green for the third consecutive day
Animation review -- the weight of small motions
A long session on idle frames. The character must breathe the way a watchmaker breathes -- imperceptible until you look for it. Three idle loops accepted, two returned for retiming.
Sepia chamber -- the colour study room
A designated room in the studio holds nothing but printed colour boards. Every project palette begins by being pinned here, then photographed at three times of day. The selected sepia line will travel to every screen in the build.
- warm parchment (#F5EDE0) chosen as ambient interface ground
- neon warm (#E86040) reserved for active-status accents only
- gold accent (#C8A050) reserved for milestone events
Filed: prototype P03 retired
The third combat prototype, drafted last winter, has been formally archived. The lessons it carried -- restraint in the camera, generosity in the timing -- live on inside M07.
Notes from the atelier
The asymmetry is not laziness. The asymmetry is intentional weight, placed where the eye should rest, lifted where the eye should travel. Swiss precision underwrites every angle. Nothing on this board sits where it sits by accident.
