Where VanaUnreal stands

Regional weather, footsteps, sound beds and modular character presentation have advanced.

16 October 2026 Regional weather, footsteps, sound beds and modular character presentation have advanced. The editable world and texture sample are intended to improve the setting without losing its recognizable layout. Storm upgrades, final sound placement, snow edges, shadow warnings, gate materials and safe collision still need work. None of these broad presentation tracks is fully accepted.

Editable city sections and gate approaches have source and layout checks, while the region remains under construction.

16 October 2026 Editable city sections and gate approaches have source and layout checks, while the region remains under construction. A small texture study is the next visual sample. Northern floor/seam failures, East ground/edge quality and West apron construction remain ongoing. Preserve recognizable layout and qualify safe geometry before detail and runtime admission.

Recent completed engineering slices include crafting transactions and recovery, guild ranks and shops, Home Point registration/warps, ranged ammunition, magic bursts, NPC windows and event decoding, and early Trust summoning/release/following.

16 October 2026 Recent completed engineering slices include crafting transactions and recovery, guild ranks and shops, Home Point registration/warps, ranged ammunition, magic bursts, NPC windows and event decoding, and early Trust summoning/release/following. Next work includes companion combat and acquisition, quest/mission event routing, remaining interface details and source-bound package coverage. Personal approval and broad content completion remain separate.

The pale gate-face report remains part of the material and city-rebuild backlog.

16 October 2026 The pale gate-face report remains part of the material and city-rebuild backlog. I am separating material identity from the gate’s geometry, floor and endpoint checks. The new construction and texture studies do not yet prove this visible defect repaired. A fresh comparison in the accepted runtime build is still required.

16 October 2026 Destination and saved-position checks now protect more return and warp paths, with relevant regression coverage. Home Point warps save payment and position together. The original Port return defect remains open pending the exact route’s fresh package and hands-on reproduction check. General save/warp coverage does not establish that this particular report is closed.

My original movement-feel report remains open until I compare the current build with retail by hand. Passing automated routes does not settle the feel of turning, speed or camera behavior.

16 October 2026 Regional packages have exercised selected frontend, character, market, mission and persistence flows. Those checks help catch regressions in the actual game package. They do not prove every route, all NPCs or all new features. The newest Trust/event work and remaining world defects need their own package and hands-on coverage.

16 October 2026 The shared native checks now cover substantially more crafting, guild, ranged, dialogue, event, quest-save and Trust behavior. Relevant suites run with and without rendering and require the expected tests to be discovered. The latest recorded 16 October follow checkpoint reports zero failed checks. Earlier warnings and failed runs remain visible. Test counts describe bounded automated checks, not completed gameplay scenarios or a whole-game percentage.

This area is part of the six-zone regional setting.

16 October 2026 This area is part of the six-zone regional setting. NPC text and event decoding, client-style interaction windows, weather and selected systems have advanced alongside the editable city rebuild. Guild and merchant services are admitted only at their supported NPCs. Source geometry qualification is separate from importing a rebuilt area. Roof/rear closures, passages, gate approaches, safe edges and complete routes remain ongoing across the city. Quest, mission and service completion is tracked separately; I have not approved a complete rebuilt city.

16 October 2026 The current focus remains the San d’Oria region and the dependencies of the first playable adventure. Wider source inventories and imported libraries remain separate from playable zone admission. No new claim of complete pre-Zilart world coverage is made. Each later area still needs ground, exits, presentation, NPCs, story, services and packaged acceptance.

The West Gate’s approved direction is now a walkable apron toward the future Ronfaure ring. That design choice does not clear construction, endpoint or bypass failures. Remaining closures and route guards still need full runtime checks.

Stronger storm sound, branching bolts, heavier rain and lighting integration remain ongoing. Snow-cover edges, shadow warnings, final appearance and listening still need correction or approval.

16 October 2026 I am keeping the project single-player first, with local companions and FFXI’s recognizable world and interface. The six starting jobs, era-based unlock routes, source-driven guilds, gil-priced Home Point warps and retail macro limits guide the current work. Unbuilt Config options stay visibly dimmed. There is no pause menu; logging out ends a session. World construction preserves layout before detail, and the West Gate’s approved direction is a walkable apron toward the future Ronfaure connection. Weather includes explicitly authored additions such as seasons and magic overflow. Automated success, packaged checks and my own approval remain separate. Public distribution, a release date and permission to redistribute assets are not established by this tracker.

16 October 2026 Ideas remain proposals until I adopt them. Current implementation priorities are recorded in the systems, world and testing notes. A suggested feature, imported asset or research result is not a delivery commitment, a completed feature or a release promise.

16 October 2026 The six starting jobs are selectable with starting kits and durable starter-scroll learning. Their admitted level-60-era abilities, traits, spells and weapon skills have received implementation and automated checks, with the approved Convert and Chi Blast exceptions and adopted retail numeric rules. Recent additions include ranged actions, magic bursts, saved ability recasts, elemental defense and caster-trait handling. Job changes, support-job unlocks and other unlock routes must follow their era quests. Party-dependent effects and complete job-by-job gameplay acceptance remain unfinished. A roster entry or implemented rules list does not mean every job is playable and approved.

16 October 2026 Mission 1-1 has a bounded accept, reminder, trade and reward path, with earlier packaged checks for Endracion’s interaction, cancellation, axe trade and saved rank progress. Test items used by those checks are setup, not proof of ordinary combat acquisition. The newer event interpreter supports default NPC conversations, while mission-started event routing, staging, camera work and complete mission playthroughs still need integration. The wider nation mission list remains planned content. I have not marked the entire mission library complete.

18 October 2026 The first San d’Oria and Ronfaure region is still unfinished. I am bringing its routes, buildings, population, encounters and supported interactions together into a dependable single-player session. Recent integrated development work expands quest interactions, original guild event sequences and the supported actions of Kupipi and Excenmille. Trust presentation now includes casting phases, interface help and arrival/departure effects, with remaining animation and visual limitations. The East gate approach has a reviewed modelling repair; it is not yet a newly qualified playable section. Construction, safe routes, content dependencies, fresh integrated packages and my own complete-session playtests remain separate work. There is no public download, testing signup or release date.

16 October 2026 My current priorities are dependable single-player systems, playable NPC and quest interactions, useful Trust companions and a safe, recognizable San d’Oria region. I am continuing the remaining companion combat, quest acquisition and event routing alongside city construction and a bounded texture study. The approved world direction preserves completed continuous connections, uses safe temporary transitions where necessary, and replaces those transitions as each join is qualified. The West Gate gets an authored walkable apron toward Ronfaure. Buildings must match the intended layout before detail work. Broader content and HD rollout follow verified samples and appropriate runtime checks. This tracker records scoped progress rather than a whole-game completion percentage or a release-date promise.

18 October 2026 More quest conversations, trades, key-item cases and saved-progress paths are implemented. Excenmille’s qualifying Ronfaure call is connected to the San d’Oria Trust quest. Original guild event sequences now support membership, rank tests and renouncement. A listed or implemented quest is not automatically completable in the current world. Missing locations, safe ground and item sources still block some routes. Remaining mission integration and full quest-by-quest playthroughs need their own checks; no complete quest library or first-region acceptance is claimed.

16 October 2026 Crafting now records a sixteen-second synthesis, material use, results and skill gains together, including interruptions and recovery after a crash. Guild membership, Amateur–Veteran ranks, rank tests and skill caps are saved. San d’Oria guild shops use stock, prices, opening hours and holidays. Home Points register on touch and save payment and destination together. Combat work includes ranged attacks and ammunition, caster traits, elemental defense, Signet and magic bursts. Menus gained inventory sorting/search, storage views, keyboard macros, retail Magic and Abilities layouts, and expanded item names and icons. The latest work adds client-style NPC event, choice and trade windows, decoded default conversations, and Kupipi/Excenmille summoning, release lines, early following and melee behavior. Their full combat decisions, quest acquisition and world continuity still need work. Fishing, the full economy and complete job parity are not finished. The newest changes have scoped native checks. Earlier packaged save results are retained separately and do not qualify every later addition. I still need to playtest these systems personally.

16 October 2026 Recent checks cover crafting and guild persistence, item transactions, ammunition, NPC events, quest-save identity, Trust placement, summoning, release, early following and melee behavior. Relevant native suites have passed with and without rendering, with earlier warnings and failed runs retained. The selected-save companion scenario now includes a real zone rabbit using Foot Kick through the normal update path, including a lethal kick and automatic cleanup. Its TP is controlled for the test. This is narrower than a complete natural combat session. An earlier fresh package passed 158 save-write checks and 44 independent reopening checks. These are checks, not 202 separate gameplay scenarios, and they predate the newest dialogue and Trust work. Physical controls, listening, final appearance, full-session playability and my approval remain separate. I am keeping world-route and geometry failures visible. I verified and archived superseded build payloads to restore development space while protecting source, saves, selected packages and failure evidence. This is build maintenance, not a game-performance improvement.

16 October 2026 The six-zone San d’Oria region remains the working setting. I am rebuilding editable city sections and gate approaches while preserving their recognizable layouts, landmarks and doors. Southern layout studies and parts of Northern San d’Oria have source and geometry checks, but they are not a finished imported city. Northern’s paired passage still fails a narrow floor-coverage check and retains open seams. The East approach has ground-quality and exposed-edge problems. The approved West design extends a walkable apron toward the future Ronfaure ring; that choice does not finish its construction or safety checks. A replacement forest-collision experiment still fails movement routes and remains outside the accepted build. Shadow warnings and snow presentation defects also remain open. Source geometry, safe traversal, lighting, content and my visual approval each require their own checks.
