Sol’s Souls Devlog 05 — Twenty-Seven Thousand Tests, Six Silent Failures, and a Store Page That Knows What It Is
Sol's Souls fifth devlog: QA sprint 12 rewrote 1,008 lines of the runner, expanded coverage across turn resolution, faction AI, milestones, and broadcast systems, drove the test count from 4,952 to 27,402 — then found 6 silent turn-resolution failures that had been passing for weeks. Fixed in commit 23897e6. Final state: 27,402 pass / 0 fail / 1,299 screenshots. Plus ITCH_STORE.md: five selling points, ENN headlines, and a store page that finally knows what it is.
Sol’s Souls Devlog 04 — Five Thousand Tests, a Thousand Screenshots, and the Screens That Lied
Sol's Souls fourth devlog: QA expansion from 3,111 to 4,952 tests, persistent QA runner, adversarial faction testing, five visual polish fixes, and 987 screenshots. The build that passes tests is not the build that survives probing.
Sol’s Souls Devlog 03 — Tension, Tutorials, and Three Thousand Tests
Sol's Souls third devlog: inter-settlement tension events, a six-page How to Play guide, itch readiness polish, and 3,111 QA tests with zero failures. The colony sim is approaching launch.
Sol’s Souls Devlog 02 — Eight Factions, Thirty Events, and a Founding Ceremony
Sol's Souls second devlog: eight factions in the dashboard, thirty civic events, a research tree, colonist stories, founding ceremonies, and 1,499 QA tests with zero failures. The build is mechanically complete — now it needs a human to play it.
Sol’s Souls Devlog 01 — Green Marsian Lawns: Building the Satire Loop
Sol's Souls first devlog: the Green Marsian Lawns premise, the turn-based colony-defense loop, faction governance as strategy, the campaign map, and why this satire lane is commercially legible.
