From local candidate to hosted preparation.

The current Liminal Strata local gameplay foundation has completed its internal acceptance pass. That does not mean the game is finished or publicly available. It establishes a controlled point from which the next engineering phase can proceed.

Work is now focused on private hosted-alpha preparation and scalability qualification. The immediate world-building package takes selected areas from Level 0 and Level 1 and prepares them as representative multiplayer spaces.

What representative-world publication means.

A visually authored scene is only one part of a multiplayer world. Selected Level areas are being converted into bounded client and server content, with navigation, maps, travel anchors, and repeatable publication checks. The goal is to verify that the environment can be reproduced, streamed, traversed, and operated without losing the authority boundaries established during local development.

This work also preserves the existing Level 0 greybox as a useful comparison and fallback while more representative areas are qualified.

What comes next.

The next steps include completing the representative-world lifecycle proofs, hosted-readiness prerequisites, and private multiplayer qualification. MMO-scale operation remains an ambition under active engineering and testing, not a claim that launch-scale capacity has already been demonstrated.

There is no public build, open alpha, or announced release window. Future testing opportunities will be announced here if and when they become available.
