Blog Draft Status

Current Drafts

Two posts replacing the original 10-post series:

1. _drafts/were-back.md — Chronological recap of 2022-2025 development, life events, AI-assisted dev
2. _drafts/state-of-starwards-2026.md — What’s built, what works, what’s missing, what’s next

Key Decisions (from interview with Amir)

• March 2024 was a refocus/reprioritization, not a rewrite
• Most core systems built in 2022 H2 (509 commits, 15 releases), not 2024
• Blog silence due to: war (Oct 2023), immigration to NL (late 2025), life getting busy
• AI-assisted development since early 2023 — key enabler for continued progress
• Unity+Colyseus POC exists (modest), still the long-term 3D plan
• Not LARP-ready yet as of April 2026, but getting there
• Daniel returning soon in vibe-coding capacity
• No community invitation in posts
• Tone: matter-of-fact, no drama, no apologies

Remaining Work

• Amir reviews both posts for voice and factual accuracy
• Add screenshots/videos where appropriate (placeholder notes?)
• Verify Jekyll cross-post links render correctly
• Publish
