Risks
Performance is below target in the busiest scene
The busiest harbor scene runs 2 frames per second below the 60 fps target. The optimization sprint is booked for 2026-11-02 to 2026-11-13.
Accessibility options have not started
They are required for the console certification submission on 2027-02-08.
Decision needed on the two cut candidates
Dropping weather-driven trading and the pet companion would save about 6 weeks of work.
Decision needed by 2026-10-30.
