Record of the answers to the questions in 07, with dates. Every document that depended on them has been updated.

#	Topic	Decision (2026-10-26)	Where it changed
1	Platform	PC only at first	`05`
2	Monetization	Free to play, revenue from cosmetics, including NFT cosmetics	`08`
3	Art and modeling	The agent (Claude/Hermes) models in Blender via MCP	`12`
4	Game name	Decided in #9: Yvaldis	—
5	PvP	Ships at launch	`03`, `13`
6	Camera	Always first person; the game will be ported to VR in the future, so gameplay must work in VR from now on	`03`, `05`
7	Phase 1	Proof of concept: a small city with the basics, for testing	`06`
8	Day cycle	Same clock for the whole server	`04`
9	Name	Yvaldis (10/26/2026). yvaldis.com and .net were free at the registry on that date; trademark to be checked at INPI/USPTO/EUIPO together with the company setup	—
10	Currency	Own token; network: the most robust one for an MMORPG (analysis in `08`)	`08`
11	Land	Definition requested now; proposal in `15` (pre-sale remains open)	`15`
12	Activity scope	"Anything goes in the game": farming and every possible activity	`09`

Pending (owner only)

Trademark check for Yvaldis (INPI/USPTO/EUIPO), together with the company setup.
Proof of concept deadline (budget already decided: zero cost; 20-week estimate in 35, to be confirmed).
When to open the company and commission the legal opinion (decided: after the proof of concept; date still missing).

Audit decisions (10/26/2026)

Owner's criterion: whatever is most correct for a sustainable economy, good gameplay and VR adaptation. What matters is gameplay; what players earn is an extra, never a substitute for work.

#	Decision	Where
E1	NFTs are only cosmetics, deeds, decoration, mount appearance and titles; never power. Top-tier items are bound on equip; power cap per tier and horizontal progression; a concession yields common material in volume, rare only through feats; land gives no power	`08`, `14`, `15`, `17`
E2	NPC shops, player shops and auction in gold; the token market only for cosmetic NFTs and deeds; NPC raw material bound to the account; gold between players with daily cap and fee; gold never becomes token	`08`, `14`
C1/E3/E4	Reward fund by buyback (20% of net cosmetics revenue + a share of the fee), season ≤ 80% of previous sinks, no scheduled issuance; no private round or public sale; fixed 1 billion: reserve 45%, treasury 20%, team 15%, partners 10%, testers 5%, liquidity 5%; withdrawal with monthly cap; earnings described as a small, variable extra	`14`, `08`, `16`, `README`, `modelos/`
C5	Contested zone Mina Velha (Old Mine) near Lumen, open PvP only in scheduled windows, 6 concessions (was 40)	`13`, `15`, `20`
E5	One KYC = one eligible account; reward weighted by verified play; real-time respawn with cap; anti-macro minigames; sponsored gas with cap	`08`, `14`
E8	Concession cap per clan and per alliance; smaller alternative source for every rare material; safe arrival zones in hard places	`19`, `15`, `20`
E9	Land cap per KYC and per clan; Harberger tax with right to match an offer within 48 h on an actively used plot; activity = transactions with distinct players	`15`
L1	Non-custodial studio: embedded non-custodial wallet and on/off-ramp only through a licensed partner; no own withdrawal service	`08`, `05`
L2	No sales before the legal opinion; no language about appreciation, deflation or yield; no player vote on the treasury	`14`, `08`, `16`
L4	Own launcher + Epic Games Store; Steam not planned (policy bars blockchain and NFTs; recheck)	`05`, `08`, `16`
L5	Wallet, token, market, NFT and voice only for verified 18+; minors play the full game without the economy; age rating	`08`, `05`, `16`
T1	10 thousand concurrent per world, ~500 per region server, ~100 visible in a city; clan war 50×50, alliance 100×100 instanced	`05`, `03`, `13`
T2	Two lighting profiles: full PC (Lumen) and reduced VR (baked + simple dynamic); 90 fps budget from Phase 1A	`05`, `12`, `06`
T3	Regional servers (Americas first: São Paulo + US East), < 80 ms; server validates every hit; VR hand is not trusted	`05`, `13`
F1	Weak hordes without parry; directional parry only against elites and bosses; Phase 1A exit with metrics (death, time to kill, % readable, dropout)	`17`, `03`, `06`
F2	VR: no camera roll; dodge as a dash with vignette; knockback does not turn the camera; vehicles with stable horizon and fixed reference; teleport and snap turn; flying mount with cabin; profile per mechanic	`03`, `10`, `17`
T6	Launch with a closed subset: magic = Arcane, Nature, Elemental (fire and water) and 4 forms; alchemy = 8 essences and 5 processes; the rest in updates	`18`, `22`, `06`

Casinos

On hold (10/26/2026). High legal risk with token and NFTs in the economy; the analysis stays in 23, section 3, as a record only.

Owner's answers (10/26/2026, after the audit)

Name: requested an original name, with no owner, in English or another language; result: Yvaldis (#9). Only the trademark check at INPI/USPTO/EUIPO is missing.
Proof of concept (Phase 1): zero cost. Built by the current team (owner + assistant) with free tools (UE5, Blender, freely licensed assets recorded in 12). Goal: something beautiful to show.
Company and legal opinion: after the proof of concept. Until then, no token with real value, no sale, no airdrop.
Criterion for design decisions: gameplay first; sustainable economy; VR-ready. What the player earns is an extra, never a substitute for work.

Launch by chapters (10/26/2026)

The official launch opens one realm (Chapter 1, the Realm of Lumen); the other lands and their plots arrive through updates. See 25.

Wings (10/26/2026)

Wings as an extremely rare item that allows flight. Earned (not bought, not NFT, no random drop); full flight only in Chapter 6, gliding before that. See 36.
