A little world, taking shape

Can a few real moments tell the story so far? The first progress film uses three reviewed captured stills, with source labels on every scene. It is a silent editorial sequence, not recorded gameplay or a time-lapse. Native controls and a static poster keep movement deliberate. A small animated WebP is available through a separate play control and runs once. The actual encoded frames and both transition midpoints were inspected along with every WebP frame and container metadata before individual approval. Measured on 14 October 2026 with FFprobe 9.0.2 and exact byte counts: 16.000 seconds / 384 frames at 24 fps; MP4 694,573 bytes; WebP 41,288 bytes; total three media assets 899,840 bytes.

Full MP4 decode passed; the isolated Chromium player passed six playback/seek assertions. These are media checks, not simulation measurements. See progress-media documentation for original capture dates/builds and edit recipe. Next: document genuine continuous gameplay when a safe recording is available.
