Exploration of Region 1

Session Overview

• Build/Platform: 20951743
• Area Under Test: Ship region 1 (hallway lighting, SAFETY.a training, planet scanning, Cerebellum discovery, course setting)

Observations & Findings

1. Region Transition & Entry

• After completing 0b region exploration, entered cryochamber for hibernation.
• Upon awakening, developer tools confirmed transition to Region 1.

2. Hallway Lighting Sequence

• Opened door to hallway.
• Lighting behavior observed:
  • Lights began activating from opposite side of hallway
  • Lights turned on incrementally, creating visual sequence
  • Different from previous regions’ instant lighting

3. Room Status Check

• Walked through hallway to inspect all rooms.
• Findings: No differences observed from 0b region rooms.
• Proceeded directly to cockpit.

4. New Filesystem Content & Camera Interface

• Inspected Filesystem terminal.
• New file discovered: SAFETY.a
• Camera system changes:
  • Display showed: 0/1 overlay in top right corner
  • Interpreted as: 1 scannable object available, 0 scanned

5. Initial Planet Discovery - Ladagocia

• Located planet Ladagocia in camera view.
• Attempted interaction using [E] and [LMB].
• System response: “REPORT ON PLANET BEFORE CONTINUING”
• Interaction blocked until prerequisite completed.

6. SAFETY.a Training Video

• Returned to Filesystem terminal to investigate SAFETY.a file.
• Running SAFETY.a initiated video playback.
• Video content: Safety briefing about power restoration procedures.
• Key information: “If power goes out, restore it in the electrical room.”

7. Camera Re-check & Second Planet Discovery

• Re-interacted with camera after viewing SAFETY.a.
• Ladagocia still displayed same message: “REPORT ON PLANET BEFORE CONTINUING”
• Continued searching camera view for other planets.
• Located different planet with new interaction prompt: [SCAN: E]

8. Planet Scanning Mechanic - Cerebellum

• Tested scanning mechanic on newly discovered planet.
• Scan controls:
  • Hold [E] to initiate and maintain scan animation
  • Releasing [E] stops animation
  • Must hold [E] for full animation duration to complete scan
• Upon successful scan completion:
  • System message: Planet discovered: ‘Cerebellum’
  • New file automatically added to Filesystem: Cerebellum.kp4

9. Cerebellum.kp4 Minigame

• Ran Cerebellum.kp4 from Filesystem terminal.
• Minigame initiated with timing challenge:
  • Slider moves around circular track
  • Small red sections mark target zones
  • Player must click [LMB] when slider reaches red sections
  • Timing-based success condition

10. Report Generation System

• Upon minigame completion, new file generated: report.kp4
• Running report.kp4 initiated two-part sequence:
  1. Video playback
  2. Interactive Cerebellum Report interface opened
• Report interface mechanics:
  • Multiple button options displayed
  • Clicking button adds corresponding word(s) to report
  • Example: Clicking ‘aaa’ added three words: “Detemeter > GFHQ”
  • Progressive report building through button selections

11. Map Update & Mission Progression

• Upon completing Cerebellum report:
  • Camera view automatically moved to map display
  • Map indicator [1] changed to checkmark symbol (✓)
  • Focus automatically returned to camera
  • Camera immediately centered on Ladagocia planet

12. Course Setting - Ladagocia

• Interacted with Ladagocia again after report completion.
• Previous blocking message replaced with new prompt: “[X] SET COURSE [C]”
• Tested controls:
  • Clicking [X] closes the prompt (cancel action)
  • Re-interacted with planet using [E]
  • Pressed [C] but nothing happened
    • This is a defect, will make a ticket.
  • Tried Pressed [LMB] to confirm course setting
• System response:
  • Display showed: “Expected duration: 17 weeks”
  • All screens faded to black
  • Ship entered transit state

13. Return to Hibernation

• Navigated back through hallway to hibernation room.
• Room inspection results: No changes detected in any hallway rooms.
• Proceeded to hibernation room.
• Interacted with Cryochamber to initiate hibernation.

14. Region Transition to Region 2

• After hibernation sequence (”…”), awakened in new region.
• Developer tools confirmed transition to Region 2.
• This marks conclusion of Region 1 exploration.

Session Conclusion

Exploratory session complete. Successfully explored Region 1 and discovered new gameplay systems including hallway lighting sequences, planet scanning mechanics, and report generation. Completed SAFETY.a training video, discovered and scanned Cerebellum planet, successfully completed timing-based minigame, and generated planet report. Map progression system confirmed working (checkpoint [1] marked complete). Successfully set course to Ladagocia with 17-week transit time and transitioned to Region 2 via hibernation. All core Region 1 mechanics functioning as expected.
