From First Build to an Explorable Town
September 15–17: The earliest recorded RPG commits established its characters, dialogue, combat and first substantial interior location.
The first GitHub import of this RPG is dated September 15, 2026. That early foundation included story dialogue, named characters, creature artwork and combat refinements. It is the start of the repository's tracked history, not necessarily the date the original idea was conceived.
Over the following two days we integrated more of Greyhaven's exterior and interior artwork and expanded the Bent Lantern into an explorable, multi-room inn. Furniture, walls, navigation and spawn locations needed repeated correction before the building worked as a place rather than a backdrop.
These early iterations set the game's direction: handcrafted locations, character-driven conversations and systems designed around exploration. The project would receive its official title, The Faded Vagrant, on October 4.
