Project summary / spoken report / March 14, 2026

From emoji sandbox to a real-time 3D world

This page is the spoken and written briefing for everything the project now contains: the original deep simulation, the Godot migration work already landed, the new town-sandbox features, the wardrobe and dialog pipelines, and the blockers that still separate the current build from the full long-form design.

Chunked briefing audio deck

The narration is pre-rendered as large MP3 chunks. The page buffers the current chunk and the next one, then advances automatically so the briefing plays as a sequential stream instead of one giant download.

Status snapshot

Current state

The project is no longer a blank 3D prototype. It already has world generation, a populated town, clothing-ready human models, core interaction controllers, law and jail hooks, relationship and trauma data, overlays for phone and browser systems, and a repeatable web export path. The remaining work is mostly integration, consequence depth, and finishing the sandbox loop.

Recent milestones

Migration timeline

March 13, 2026
Wardrobe and real human model pipeline
MPFB-based clothed characters were exported into the Godot runtime, with role-mapped male and female variants for villagers, workers, merchants, nobles, travelers, guards, and athletic presets.
March 13, 2026
Arrest, jail, and ambush combat hooks
Wanted-state UI, guard arrest behavior, jailed player flow, and direct surprise attacks were wired into the town sandbox, making crime and combat more consequential.
March 14, 2026
Carry, rescue, and structured dialog import
Helpless NPCs can now be carried and delivered to safe buildings, and legacy structured conversation objects are now exported to JSON and executed inside the 3D dialog controller.

Primary blockers

What still needs work

Town loop completion
Pickpocket and planted-item flow, deeper witness consequences, and stronger daily routine presentation still need finishing.
Media pipeline
The media system and browser verification path need a reliable runtime screenshot path because headless WebGL capture is unstable on this machine.
Expansion after stabilization
Multi-settlement travel, economy depth, public events, hospitals, and the larger world-scale systems should come after the town sandbox is stable.
