This week focused on refining the narrative structure and building early prototypes.

The story was further developed, and the overall narrative outline was finalized, supported by continued research.

Design:

Completed the first iteration of level design
Built a paper prototype, scheduled for testing in the following week

Art & Tech:

Tech art achieved initial visible destruction effects
Environment art completed the first batch of architectural models, forming a rough spatial structure

This week marked the transition from concept to testable systems.

This week marked the official start of the project. The team focused primarily on narrative exploration and preliminary research.

We conducted extensive research on the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake, reviewing a wide range of references to ground our story in reality. The writing team completed the first draft of the opening section of the script, establishing an initial narrative framework.

On the design side, we began early level design explorations based on the emerging story.

Art & Tech Art:

Tech art initiated fracture and destruction effect tests
Environment art began modeling the first batch of base assets

Overall, this week transitioned the project from concept to a more actionable direction.
