Background: The studio is concentrating its staff on the Iron Pigeon demo, leaving other work temporarily aside; A-Zhen and her colleagues still have to handle details such as the card animations. Market news and frame-by-frame adjustments are unfolding in parallel, and the team does not know that the outside mood is about to shift.
Today: ETH surged to an all-time high of USD 4,370. On the same day, Musk announced that Tesla was suspending Bitcoin payments, citing energy use. The market did not react immediately, but the wind had quietly shifted high above. In the office, A-Zhen was still adjusting the card-animation frame rate, unaware of the change in the air. She noted this round of adjustments and planned to check the visual pacing during the demo review.
Impact and next: In one day, ETH’s record and the payment announcement sat side by side, introducing a new energy question amid a heated market. The studio’s attention remained fixed on demo details. The outside shift had not yet entered the team’s thinking, and the animation timing still needed review; next, they would continue the delivery work already under way while watching how market discussion reached them.
