Completing the first design framework
A concentrated design pass brought Sovereign's major systems into one coherent framework and closed the project's first planning phase.
The second day was about breadth and consistency. Sovereign's major systems were developed together so that decisions about the world, the player, and the simulation supported one another instead of becoming isolated feature lists.
What changed
- The main areas of the game design reached a coherent first version.
- Several difficult cross-system questions were reconciled across the design.
- The initial design phase closed with a stronger shared vocabulary for future work.
Next
With the broad framework in place, the project could move from describing the game toward defining concrete requirements and testing the riskiest assumptions.
