🏃 DEVELOPMENT DIARY — THE ROAD TO EARLY ACCESS
Pro Endurance Series: Running Manager · published
📖 CONTENT
Follow the development of Pro Endurance Series: Running Manager as I build the game from the ground up.
This series is a journey through the ideas, systems and technology behind PRM — from creating your first athlete and managing their career, to planning competitions, simulating races, building cities and bringing the world of running to life.
I'll be sharing the development process, the challenges behind the game, the experiments that work (and those that don't), and the decisions that shape PRM along the way.
Some chapters may change, move or even be added as development continues. This is a living development journal, not a fixed roadmap.

EARLY ACCESS
The journey becomes yours.
💬 A NOTE FROM THE DEVELOPER
PRM is being built step by step.
Some things will change. Some experiments will fail. New ideas will appear.
That's part of making a game.
I'll keep documenting the journey here.
