Back to collectionCard Art Locks as the Slice Enters Integration
Background: The year-end target requires the team to complete a formal vertical slice, and the card gameplay’s art and engineering work are about to come together in one build. Today: BTC was at 58,000. Impact and next: With the visual scope fixed, cross-role integration can proceed around one set of assets, reducing the friction of changing things while wiring them together.

Background: The year-end target requires the team to complete a formal vertical slice, and the card gameplay’s art and engineering work are about to come together in one build. Today, the card slice’s art is frozen, meaning the visual design will pause so integration can proceed on a stable basis.
Today: BTC was at 58,000. The card vertical slice’s art was formally frozen, and the project moved from production into integration; the team now needs to connect the settled visuals with the gameplay and technical work.
Impact and next: With the visual scope fixed, cross-role integration can proceed around one set of assets, reducing the friction of changing things while wiring them together. The tradeoff is that new ideas cannot trigger an immediate redraw; if integration surfaces problems, the team still has to judge whether each blocks progress or can wait for a later iteration.
