Turning the design into requirements
Research and design review were translated into a product-level set of requirements, with special attention to how societies remain coherent under pressure.
Sovereign's design moved from broad intent toward a product that could be built and tested. The day's work translated research and design decisions into clearer requirements while revisiting an area where earlier approaches had not produced convincing behavior.
What changed
- Research findings were converted into concrete product requirements.
- A difficult part of the social simulation was redesigned around clearer principles.
- The project gained a more practical bridge between its vision and future implementation.
Next
The next step was to work through the player experience and technical direction, then use visual prototypes to challenge assumptions before implementation began.
