Digital Ecosystem
Tools that help. They never become the rules.
Digital systems exist to design, archive, simulate, and present the physical game. They must support physical play. They never become a rules requirement. This press is the current companion: three books, a planner, a vault, and a foundry. Creator Foundry is a support interface, never rules authority.
| Horizon | Direction |
|---|---|
| Now | Complete Micro Reign Rules Freeze v0.1, low-cost prototype, and controlled Test A. |
| Next | Human playtests, balance pass, blind rules, manufacturing prototype, sales-validation materials. |
| Later | Only after Micro validation: resume Grand Reign, interactive tabletop, video game, merchandise, and store ecosystem. |
What this press is for
- Player’s Compendium, Realm Master’s Guide, and Realm Forge as readable books.
- Picture vault: upload, crop, replace plates, keep playtest photos.
- Map planner: 24 × 24 and Twin Thrones 18 × 18, Seed stamps, foam count.
- Edition foundry: clone the baseline, add appendix chapters, keep a change log.
The Creator Foundry dashboard must stay synchronized to v0.6 before it is used for status reporting. Health, Breaking Point, timing, Reign achievements, and the Crown Round are specified for Prototype v0.1 in these pages. Do not report a different Crown model from a stale screen.
Simulation evidence
No recoverable dataset, configuration, script output, run log, or authoritative simulation addendum supports the previously discussed estimate of approximately 6,600 synthetic game equivalents. Preserve that figure only as an UNVERIFIED development-history note. Do not publish tabletop win rates from it. Human playtesting remains mandatory.
