Studios

The Studios is the training building on Threadway. Its planned floors let you train each specialisation through short drills. Clearing a drill unlocks an upgrade or a flex skill once, as mastery, without paying Supply.

How it works#

Planned design#

There are eight drills, two per floor. A drill opens only after you have met its topic in real play, so the drills follow the story. For example, the first drill on each floor opens with the Act I pressure front, and the open studio's Glide drill opens with Act II's astrocyte support. No drill waits on an optional arc.

In the alpha#

The Studios is a closed façade. Press E at its door to enter a placeholder room. At the counter, a notice says that movement, goals, telegraphs, composure, Link, Ward and Survey are practised at Memory Meadow, and that the advanced training floor is not open yet. There is no Start button that does nothing.

In the brain#

The Studios is a training building in the fiction. Classes and drills are game mechanics, not biological cell types.

Development#

• Lobby art: the user dropped the Studios exterior study on 31 October and asked for its interiors, starting with the lobby, at the scale of ANNO: Mutationem. The user chose a sci-fi research-station lobby over a tidy daylight concept ("too much like a classroom"). The look, palette and windows were approved on 31 October. The art was made from a pixelised concept and hand-cleaned in Aseprite, with 15 lights rebuilt so cells are lit too.
• Exterior: the P24 scene raised Studios levels 3 and 4 to full storeys.
• Alpha: Placeholder 69c7b5470 connects the nine Memory Meadow lessons but not the eight drill attestations. The lead lists this as remaining work for the lead with Claude A and Claude B. On 2 November the user's split assigned the eight drills to Claude A as turn rooms.
• Not installed: the lobby art, its walk polygon and its light maps.
