Overview
This week was mainly about settling down more of the project’s design details and starting to push toward our first milestone: a graybox prototype for Section 1 by Halves. After receiving feedback from 1/4s, we focused on turning broader ideas into something more concrete and production-ready with a question set.

Notes
This week is an important refinement week for the project, as we started making more concrete decisions about how the game should work and what needs to be built first. By the end of the week, the project direction felt much more grounded, though the detailed design for Section 1 still needed to be settled further.
