Background: The studio had just halted travel and was still weighing the costs of its game and underlying technical options. As the market cooled, the team needed to distinguish essential spending from plans that could wait, without letting market conditions alone decide the product's direction.

Today: BTC was near USD 19,800, and the number of game-related blockchain financing deals hit a two-year low. Some worried that later preparations would become harder. A-Zhen pointed out that the cost of the underlying technical routes debated earlier had yet to be worked out. The discussion produced no hasty decision: the team kept the comparisons it needed to make soon on the table and put aside spending ideas whose purpose was still unclear.

Impact and next steps: Budget pressure now reached beyond travel into the choice of technical approach, but the team still had to move the game forward. A-Zhen's comparison of Rollup options gained a clearer purpose as a basis for item-by-item internal discussion. Which route to take, and how to manage the funding pressure, remained open.
