Travel should cost time
The latest retained June milestone makes probe travel depend on distance. A first-in, first-out intake queue gives arriving work an explicit order. Together they make network placement and hub congestion part of the same decision.
Let the player set the lesson's pace
The tutorial uses Back and Next controls instead of timed transitions. Related fixes address the time-control layout, undefined floating labels and closing the throughput panel. These are small interface changes with a shared purpose: make the simulation easier to inspect.
Replace the mood board with the game
Jalyper's old card used a visual direction study. The new image is a capture of the actual local application. The project remains in development; this retrospective does not claim a new distribution or measured improvements in player retention.
What I learned
A throughput display is useful only when travel and queuing obey understandable rules. The tutorial also needs to wait for the person doing the learning.
