Locomotion foundation
GASP and Mover remain the movement layer. Combat code stays project-owned so attacks can evolve without coupling the project to a replacement locomotion framework.

Melee-first systems
The project is technically functional and deliberately shown as work in progress. Combat presentation is still being rebuilt toward the final standard.
- UE5.8 gameplay foundation built on GASP locomotion and Mover without editing stock GASP content.
- Owned Health, Team/Hostility, and Damage Policy systems for reusable combat authority.
- Finite sword attack state with physical blade sweeps, deduplicated contacts, and real damage dispatch.
- Enemy navigation, awareness, spacing, melee attack, hit reaction, and death foundations.
- Combat motion and weapon presentation under active iteration; technical correctness is not treated as visual completion.
System view
Owned combat on top of GASP
Combat authority
Attack windows and physical contact feed one Damage Policy path, then Health and reaction systems consume the result. Presentation does not invent extra damage.
Current focus
The active production problem is sword motion quality: weapon frame, authored cut plane, facing, footwork, and action displacement before additional VFX or scale.
