Background: The day before, LAMOverse was only a name on a sticky note. Today the studio had to decide whether the multiplayer PvP concept deserved time. The card prototype still needed refinement, so the meeting had to consider not only the new direction but also whether it would divide limited design and engineering effort.
Today: At the team meeting, the multiplayer PvP concept entered preliminary research under the provisional codename LAMOverse. That decision allowed the team to start mapping questions and scope; it did not mean a product had launched or the gameplay was settled. First, they needed to understand how a multiplayer space might connect to the existing auto-battler core.
Impact and next: Yesterday’s casual name became a bounded research item, and the project’s view widened beyond single card matches. Next, the team needed to test whether the multiplayer idea could strengthen the existing experience while protecting prototype work as a priority. Only preliminary research had been approved; the design remained undecided.
