This update pushes Jingjie further from a single-layer particle display toward a more stable `2D + 3D` hybrid rendering structure.

For players, that means two practical changes:

  • `2D Canvas` continues to handle high-frequency logic, particle state, and UI drawing, keeping core feedback stable, legible, and responsive.

  • The `WebGL` background layer now carries more of the large-scale environment, field atmosphere, lighting, and distant spatial mood, improving world depth without sacrificing playability.

This is not just a visual upgrade. It is also a resource optimization pass:

fast-response systems stay in 2D, while the GPU takes over the parts that benefit most from large-scale 3D-style field rendering. The result is a world that feels broader, while scene identity becomes easier to read.

Path C: From Primordial Cradle to Four Algorithmic Social Experiments

Another major upgrade in this build is the Path C scenario restructure.

The old fragmented natural templates have been reassembled into:

  • Primordial Soup

  • Resonance Swamp

  • Absolute Grid

  • Hyper-Plasma Overload

  • Cognitive Labyrinth

These are no longer just different visual skins. Each one now asks a different world-level question:

  • Primordial Soup: how order emerges from chaos

  • Resonance Swamp: how pleasure absorbs resistance into resonance

  • Absolute Grid: how perfect order freezes into total authority

  • Hyper-Plasma Overload: how noise prevents structure from lasting long enough to form

  • Cognitive Labyrinth: why something can appear near yet remain unreachable

In other words, Path C is becoming less like a menu of backgrounds and more like a playable laboratory of ideas.

What You Should Notice in This Update

  • Clearer scenario identity: each experiment now has stronger spatial grammar, failure meaning, and runtime metrics.

  • A more coherent Genesis world: environmental regions, constitutional breaches, and scenario narrative are starting to share one contract.

  • Better monitor readability: panels such as the membrane detector continue to be refined so graphs and text no longer fight for the same space.

  • More complete localizationnewly added Genesis and scenario-facing text is being pushed fully through the bilingual display path.

Philosophical Direction

Jingjie has never aimed to be just “a more complex particle simulation.”

The goal is to build one world that can simultaneously be read as a physics experiment, a social allegory, a cognitive maze, and a space for direct player intervention.

This update moves that ambition one step closer to a truly playable form.

One note in advance: `Path C` is still positioned as Jingjie’s experimental zone. If parts of the experience feel rough, unbalanced, or simply not yet where they should be, please send feedback. That input will directly shape the next iteration.
