Field notes

The project is organized as a milestone-based devlog, with an RSS feed and a source link on GitHub. Its stated two-year structure gives the farming loop a defined narrative horizon: daily work and village repairs lead toward a fair where the player learns who returned. Development is currently limited to visual work on the village street and river, and the creator explicitly gives no release date.
