**Two proposal packets are now complete: builds/expeditions at 12:08 and story/survival at 12:32 on 15 September, three outcomes in each.** Each contains two proposals, one independent critique and one response from each author. These are proposals ready for your reaction, with detailed mechanics and practical validation still ahead.
| Completed outcome | Result |
|---|---|
| 59 — Three different build experiences | [Three ways to break a horde](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Build%20Comparison): stored electrical chains, timed ricochet fragments and movement-driven heat |
| 60 — Three worthwhile expeditions | [The observation ward](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Expedition%20Proposal): repair, test an apparent window as an alien instrument, then reach a hidden refuge |
| 61 — Independent review and response | Corrected unearned puzzle inference, mismatched rig abilities, growth order and unexplained cost notation |
+
| 56 — Hospital story directions | [Two core mysteries](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Hospital%20Story%20Directions), with observable evidence, affected treatment and reversible consequences distinguished |
+
| 57 — Survival and loadout | [Packing for spectacle and discovery](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Survival%20And%20Loadout): compare both kits at the same progression; both retain ordinary disc spectacle |
+
| 58 — Story/survival review and response | Clarified causal scope, evidence preservation and the real cost of the heavier kit |
The chosen expedition and growth rules are aligned in Combat Rules and ten supporting articles. The new Ricochet and Gravity mechanisms are still proposed replacements for parts of the old detailed build rules; numerical reconciliation has not been declared complete.

This batch can continue while the owner reacts to the three build directions. It will show how regular growth feels during fighting, when a transformation lands, where fresh enemies fit around permanent closures, and how oxygen and quiet leave room for discovery.

| Coherent revised design wiki | 23 September | 21–28 September | Readable core articles and supporting rules aligned with selected directions; consequential open choices explicit |
| Full detailed campaign design | 24 November | 3 November–22 December | Proposed progression, content, mysteries, ending paths and production scope developed across the campaign |
The near-term forecast has moderate confidence. The full-wiki estimate has low confidence; the detailed-campaign date has very low confidence and is a planning allowance pending a fresh content estimate. Neither means the game is built, tested, balanced or proven to last the desired number of hours. Development and playtests await separate authorization.

The first packet was initially forecast for 14:15 today, advanced to 13:00 as drafts arrived, and completed at 12:08. The pre-pause estimates were 15 September for the readable wiki and 17 November for detailed campaign design. Five paused calendar days and the outside review's unresolved core-loop findings require new dates. Forecast F2.3 adds the resumed story/survival review in parallel, after its current sources were reconciled; existing delivery targets are unchanged. Earlier estimates and actual deliveries remain in this page's revision history.
