Honest progress notes from the Beat Critters prototype. Dates and feature status will be published here as real milestones are completed.
SEPTEMBER 2026
The first website information release
The site now documents all 24 Neon Howlers characters, 48 prototype loops, three stage concepts, five sound families, and the complete planned interaction model. Character and sound content is available as static HTML so it remains accessible without client-side rendering.
Technical work includes unique page metadata, canonical URLs, social previews, structured data, a sitemap, responsive layouts, and direct links between related characters, stages, and guides.
What comes next
The next major milestone is connecting the redesigned browser mixer to the game runtime. Original release-cleared audio must replace all prototype source material before any public commercial launch. Account saving, community publishing, and video export remain roadmap items.
News and changelog serve different jobs
News carries milestone announcements, release availability, and major project decisions. The Updates & Ideas page keeps the detailed version timeline and open design discussions. This separation makes it easier to follow important announcements without losing the reasoning behind smaller changes.
