Four audio/comms cues wired to the wrong condition. All four are written content that has been
in the repo for rounds, firing at the wrong moment or never firing at all.
THE DEATH STING PLAYED AT LIVING PLAYERS. finish() mapped every non-win outcome to `death` — and
`death` is not a stinger, it is a ~12 s noise table (synth.js). So surviving L1's Mast Cell
("degranulated"), outrunning the Tapeworm ("escaped") and clearing the Sovereign's Toll all told
an alive player they had died, over the top of the next twelve seconds of play. Outcomes are
classified now: won/spared/communion triumph, alive-but-it-went-badly gets a downbeat, actually
dead gets the sting, and housekeeping (reset/dispose) is silent because nothing happened to the
player at all. Verified: surviving the Mast Cell no longer emits `death`; dying still does.
THE PHASE TELL WAS A SUSTAINING HISS. boss.js used `overheat` as its phase-change cue, but that
layer sustains until the engine sends `overheat_clear` on a combat:state.overheated falling edge
— which a boss never produces. Every phase change leaked a ~12 s steam hiss and ducked the mix
under it for the rest of the fight. Three sites, now short cues.
THE CREW HAS NEVER MENTIONED HULL DAMAGE. comms.js gates its two hull lines on
`kind === 'hull_hit'`, but `kind` is the damage SOURCE ('dart'|'acid'|'gas'…), so that branch has
never once been true in the game's life and every hit read as a coat graze. damage() already
computes `leak > 0` for its own audio cue — the bus event now carries it as `hull`.
AND IT NAMED THE WRONG ORGAN. There was exactly ONE boss line — "that is the pylorus. it does not
open for you." — fired for all five bosses, so the tutorial's Mast Cell and the campaign's final
boss were both announced as a stomach valve. Per-boss lines now, off boss:start (which is the only
place the id is known, and for the Sovereign whether there is a fight at all). The Mast Cell's is
doing real work: "wait — wait. that is a mast cell. it is not hunting you." / "do NOT shoot it."
The crew is the game's only tutorialisation channel, and that is the lesson L1 exists to teach.

GUTS — a fantastic voyage through the alimentary canal
Browser flight-combat game (three.js, zero build step). You pilot ENDO-1, a microscopic probe, mouth → rectum through five anatomically-grounded biomes: ride peristalsis down the esophagus, cross the acid sea of the stomach, thread the villi forest of the small intestine, survive the gas swamps of the colon. Fantastic Voyage × Star Fox × Descent.

Run it
cd web && python3 -m http.server 8140
# http://localhost:8140 — the game
# http://localhost:8140/?stub=1&dbg=1 — stub world + debug HUD (works from day 0)
No bundler, no npm, no build. ES modules + import map; three.js r175 vendored in web/vendor/
(never CDN — the game must run offline). Before you finish a session: bash tools/qa.sh.
The one-paragraph tech pitch
The whole canal is a spline. World position is (s, θ, ρ) — distance along the canal,
angle and radius in the cross-section. Tube walls are chunked extrusions along
parallel-transport frames; peristalsis and breathing are vertex-shader displacement
(cheap, squishy, everywhere); collision is an analytic radius test (no physics engine).
Caverns (mouth, stomach) switch the same controller to free 6DOF. Look is synthetic
scanner — dark endoscope void, SEM-style monochrome walls with FLUX-generated detail
textures, emissive-coded enemies. Everything is seeded + deterministic, and every asset is
optional at runtime — the game boots and plays asset-free with procedural fallbacks.
Hard laws (all lanes)
- Determinism. No
Math.randomoutsidejs/core/rng.js. Seeded RNG only. qa.sh greps. - Assets are optional. Missing texture/model/audio ⇒ procedural fallback, never a crash.
- Eyeball everything. Visual work isn't done until a screenshot is in
docs/shots/laneX/. - Perf budget: ≤300 draw calls, 60 fps on M-series / mid laptop. Measure via
window.DBG. - Free-first. Local MODELBEAST generation before any paid API; fal.ai is a gated fallback (John's go). See PIPELINE.md.
- Git: stage only your exact paths, commit + push each session, never
git add ..
Deploy
Live: https://partly.party/gutsy/ — bash tools/deploy.sh (QA gate → rsync web/ minus
dev/ → docker cp into forum-nginx → verify). No build step; web/ ships as-is.
Two things to know before you touch it, both documented at length in the script header:
- It's ephemeral. Content lives in the container's own layer (like blobbo/glytch), so a
docker compose up --force-recreateor nginx image bump wipes it — re-run the script. The durable fix is a bind mount inforum/docker-compose.yml(what cratewars/roguelike use), which costs a forum-nginx recreate and brief partly.party downtime. - A 404 there returns HTTP 200. nginx's catch-all
try_files ... /index.htmlserves the arcade index for any missing file. Verify on content, never on status codes.
