▌ DEV LOG ▐

SD 99172.0 · MAY 5 2026

Cutscene complete. 14 scenes + title card, Ken Burns per scene, 0.4s cross-fades, dialogue auto-timed to text length. Cinzel Bold deployed for the inscription. Next: gameplay loop in the courtyard.

SD 99150.0 · APR 22 2026

Settled on the name. Great Doubt was too on-the-nose. Buddha Game is funnier and lets the game do the explaining.

SD 99120.0 · APR 8 2026

Procedural UI pattern locked in. All courtyard nodes built dynamically in _ready(); 1,085 lines and counting. Member-var references keep state legible.

SD 99080.0 · MAR 22 2026

Source material curation. The arc traces Hakuin's autobiography from age 7 through Shoin-ji. Most scenes already have art. Tea pets and trees TBD.
