Dev Log #014
Farm Forge’s product path is locked: Unreal Engine for world authoring, exporters into other programmes when work needs to travel, and the NVIDIA Inception / OpenUSD commitment as part of the stack — not a side note. Madison stays the proving ground.

Farm Forge is now an independent, AI-led world studio built on Unreal Engine, with A.U.R.O.R.A. as the first point of contact. This week also produced the first real-world terrain pipeline: real elevation, real roads and rule-placed trees, built into an explorable Unreal scene.

Dev Log #008
The latest 3–5 October engineering record: EA elevation and OS roads, constrained earthworks, connected water, traffic, pixel-exact soil/grid compilation, native PDA rendering, local repairs and a hashed test package with acceptance still open.

5 October authoring-template work: an 8.192 km red-soil canvas, 2 m height sampling, empty 16,384-square density maps, overwrite protection and recorded native compilation limits.

Reusable authoring work from 3–5 October: guarded JSON-lines editor control, native sculpt/paint/save demonstrations, MCP transport, clean scene rendering, geographic tool registration and preservation checks.

The 3 October Aurora engineering record: original countryside authoring, native assets, missing-placeable diagnosis, husbandry, harvest, loaded bridge crossings and an actual grain sale. Later geography changes require renewed acceptance.

Engineering record for 30 September–1 October: dependency migration, field geometry, crop and production integration, native map artwork, and the limits of the Fox Farms runtime checks.

The experimental stretch has done its job. R.I.L.E.Y. is now a local system we can work with, and Farm Forge is being gathered into one project. This is the engineering view of that change. Madison is still the first place any of it has to prove useful.

Madison becomes the proving ground for Farm Forge. A clearer focus, a rebuilt local AI setup, and one practical next milestone: a road that belongs to the terrain.
