Official Alpha 0.2.53 was an earlier private milestone centered on mining, housing, and interface clarity.
Mining became a complete transaction
Successful mining delivered ore, spent stamina, applied pick wear, depleted and respawned its node, advanced the Mining Discipline, and refreshed the backpack and skill display together.
Homes and modular construction
Ten medieval prefab homes stood beside a 304-piece Architect catalog with persistent plots, snapping, stories, rotations, doors, collision, and layouts.
A clearer adventuring interface
The release carried the revised full-screen HUD, distinct presentation for all 45 Discipline paths, a portable Spellbook, paperdoll, character and vendor inspection, animated weather, simplified chat, and clearer context cursors.
This article records historical progress. The current live Alpha has since advanced to 0.2.125.
