Project context

Marque & ReprisalLaunch readiness + creator coverageNeeds attention

Build for history and sailing enthusiasts; prioritize long-term play and word of mouth.

Blocker
Navigation and input reports remain open. Previous CI passed; newer source is under test.
Next
Verify release builds, follow up with well-matched creators, and prepare approved launch-day materials.

After Steam: mobile & consoles

iOS/Android: free Mediterranean/Black Sea demo and connected rivers, with one purchase unlocking the full world. No time cutoff. Unlock price undecided.

Protect Steam launch/support first. January 2027: conditional one-week feasibility study. Q1–Q2 2027: possible mobile beta/launch window, with no committed date.

Native-device tests must prove touch usability, durable saves, performance/battery, and purchase/restore/offline flows. Assess consoles after Steam results and mobile feasibility.
