Back to collectionThe Prototype Runs; the Whiteboard Is Already on Item Seven
Background: At February’s close, the studio is still working on an early prototype: card matches run, but questions about balance and play remain scattered across the whiteboard. Today: At month-end, BTC closed after falling back to 43,000. Impact and next steps: Compared with the start of the month, the prototype had moved from “can it run?”

Background: At February’s close, the studio is still working on an early prototype: card matches run, but questions about balance and play remain scattered across the whiteboard. At the same time, the market pullback leaves community members such as Night Watchman facing price swings, while the developers must decide where to spend limited time.
Today: At month-end, BTC closed after falling back to 43,000. The team did not stop prototype work: matches still ran, and the whiteboard’s list of issues had reached item seven. That number was a reminder that being able to start a match does not make the experience smooth. They needed to lay out the scattered problems one by one instead of chasing only the most visible numerical adjustment.
Impact and next steps: Compared with the start of the month, the prototype had moved from “can it run?” to a defined queue of tasks, but the market pullback and development work did not explain each other. The team needs to keep breaking down the whiteboard issues and identify which ones hinder playtests; the source does not say what item seven is or how it will be handled.
