Phase 1 · In progress
Visual production and integration.
This phase covers every asset treatment, its technical integration and all the checks currently shown on this page.
Phase 1 progress
Production in progress.
75.4%of Phase 1
Within this phase, base maps and their water treatment share 10% of the work. Q3M sprites account for 5%, sprite engine integration 5%, water engine design 5%, animations 32.5%, and effects 32.5%. UI and HUD, videos, icons, projectiles and the cursor set share the remaining 10%. Q3M advances by fully accepted families: each unfinished family contributes 0%. Water-map work stays within the map scope; the final Q, rain and night review belongs to water engine design.
Visible in-game result
What the game already shows.
90.9%visible in game
Base maps account for 45% of this view, water-map treatment 10%, animations 25% and Q3M sprite families 10%. Effects, UI and HUD, videos, icons, projectiles and the cursor set share the remaining 10%. Q3M counts only fully accepted families. Water variants remain a subset of maps. Videos and stored icon proposals contribute 0% to this in-game view.
- Retained result — a retained output; Q3M counts only fully accepted families.
- QA accepted in game — counted only when the current tracker says so.
- In the local alpha payload — comparable resource scopes only; animation zone packs are listed separately.
The local alpha contains the retained maps, animations and Q3M sprites. Public release qualification is still pending.

Phase 2 · 20% of the project
Final validation and deployment.
Planned from 2027
This phase will begin after asset production. It will review the entire project in its final configuration without hiding the detailed results from Phase 1.
Complete map review
Every map will be checked individually in its final version.
Corrections and final approval
Remaining defects will be corrected before approved assets are frozen.
Performance optimization
FPS, memory use, loading times and file sizes will be measured.
Installer finalization
Installation, updates, removal and restoration will be checked.
Linux compatibility
A Linux deployment will be investigated and validated where the environment allows it.
Regression testing and final release
Compatibility, transparency, palettes, occlusion and distribution archives will be checked together.
