Progress toward alpha

Done means shipped with a matching dev log post. Upcoming is the plan from the game roadmap.

Early milestones track a vertical slice from prototype toward alpha: one blocked-out dungeon, one player model and class, a handful of enemies, and core systems brought up end-to-end before breadth expands.

Currently 6 done · 21 upcoming.
