Recovered Build Archive
Development notes, patch updates, design thoughts, and recovered memories from Legend - Recovered Build.
Follow the remake as the recovered batch RPG grows into a full browser adventure.
The Memorial Weekend playtest build adds a visual UI refresh, deeper Traveler Interview character creation, a cinematic intro, better inventory, choice-based Old Road travel, interactive combat options, road defeat consequences, and playtest guidance.
v0.6.4 was the safety pass after the public build push. The main game file was restored after an accidental stub overwrite, shared version labels reported v0.6.4, Save Vault caught up, and new refactor files were checked before being activated.
The goal was stability first: keep LEGEND playable while preparing modular systems for tutorial, Sella, NPC metadata, Old Road events, and future travel expansion.
v0.6 moved LEGEND out of one giant file, added progressive menu unlocks, and introduced accessibility settings for readability, contrast, motion, spacing, and ASCII display.
v0.5.1 tightened public playtest pacing with faster Road Token progress, clearer Bell Shard timing, better Old Road rewards, and a feedback-ready main menu link.
v0.5 deepened the first route with Road Tokens, Ashmere Inn, camp supplies, steadier weapon damage, enemy traits, mastery perks, and clearer quest tracking.
v0.4.1 improved phone play with better tap targets, sticky action buttons, compact mobile HUD behavior, safer viewport handling, and responsive ASCII.
v0.4 gave Ashmere named NPCs, dialogue, the first true questline, enemy intent, Guard, class moves, Momentum, camp choices, and a browser tab icon.
v0.3 gave Legend an original world identity, deeper character creation, ASCII scenes, exploration routes, D20-style checks, the Trading Post, and the Backroad Dealer.
The story of LegendTFC, the surviving batch file, and why this remake is becoming something more than a simple port.
Memorial Weekend playtest candidate. Focus: presentation, intro, deeper creation, choice checks, interactive combat, better inventory, and road defeat risk.
Smoke test hard, collect feedback, fix bugs, then fold the best additive v0.7.0 systems into cleaner long-term modules without breaking the restored live build.
