PUBLIC · COMMUNITY-FIRST · NO PAYWALLS
A clear record of what is already live, what comes next, and what remains exploratory. This is a direction of travel, not a deadline or a promise to commercialize the project.
SceneStart is the sole current name. Learning stays free, progress and projects stay on your device, and productions export as self-contained files.
Twenty-one hands-on paths cover the sixteen foundation categories plus first effects, core craft, production design, release and typography.
The Studio builds complete real-time productions instead of exporting a single effect.
The Workshop is now a focused build that teaches an opening, escalation and ending one decision at a time.
The next focus is a small browser-native soundtrack system that completes the audiovisual production loop without relying on a hosted generative-audio service.
Readable, reference and optimized effect studies with visible size and performance measurements.
Reproducible browser/WASM, fantasy-console, oldskool and modern-PC exercises, including progressively tighter size limits.
Learner productions with factual credits, downloads, source links and learning context—without profiles, feeds or engagement metrics.
Every learning path remains free. Existing local projects remain recoverable. New work must serve demoscene learning, making and preservation—not conversion metrics.
