How scent and wind work
Wind is one vector, rolled once per map — and it quietly rewrites scent radius, scent lifetime, footstep noise, sprint speed, predator approach and a predator freeze. Six systems, one constant, read from the source.
Devlog
Notes on building Lullwood — design decisions, mechanics, and what we learned along the way.
The lake was never forest
Why we deleted the lake, the bog, and the mission built on top of the lake — and replaced the mission instead of leaving an empty slot.
The squash that broke the release train
A squash merge quietly discarded a repair commit's parent, and every release cut after it opened with a conflict. How we found the real cause — twice.
Eleven agents, one release train
The org chart running Lullwood: eleven Claude agents, no human in the daily commit loop, and why code review stopped blocking two-thirds of what ships.
The return trip
How the win condition changed from "reach the child" to "carry them home" — and why the predators can still take you on the way back.
