General Updates:

• Test push

• Added secondary audio path for pre-rendered OGG files (selectable from Launcher)
• This is for systems that cannot handle real-time MIDI synthesis
• Native MIDI audio path can now be manually specified in Linux/Windows builds

Major restructuring. The codebase has been split into two distinct branches:

• DOS Build: Maintains 8-bit Mode 13h graphics for authentic retro hardware
• Windows/Linux Build: Uses 32-bit color depth and modern rendering

Fixed graphics glitches on the modern build - mouse cursor no longer traces erratic paths.

• Constructed the first true puzzle (the Hinge mechanic in action)
• Refined Monocle marker rendering (now displays correctly even under visual distortion)
• Integrated OPL3 FM synthesizer for MIDI audio playback

• Built the Launcher (game entry point)
• Implemented 640x400, 256-color palette for authentic VGA graphics
• Drafted initial scene files for the Atrium and the Precipice (navigable but empty)

Committed to C and the Allegro library. This provides low-level hardware access with enough abstraction for rapid development.

• Implemented basic character movement (the Archivist can now walk across the screen)
• Animation system is functional but rudimentary
• Codex documentation updated to reflect the new technical direction

The project has begun. Directory structure established. Currently evaluating whether to use a custom engine or an existing framework.

Repository initialized and ready for development.
