- The project lists long-play saves, re-saving original saves, and safe writes as release blockers.
Field notes
The proposed engine loads and draws the world while relying on the existing game code for rules and interactions. The site reports automated save/reload checks and built-lot saves, but says long-play saves, re-saving original saves, and safe writes still block release. It also lists recent fixes for hair and hat crashes, placeholder traits, and placement issues.
