Tactical Vector

Someone once referred to us as "Riced out defense LARPers straight out of Sunbow." We did not correct them.

Signal Runner build is green. The courier is loaded. The grid is hostile. Run the gauntlet. Deploy for verification.

Anika Rao4:34 AM

Signal Runner: 2D Platformer Starter build’s green, so I’m locking the final audio beds and setting the countdown tempo at 108 BPM. Verification’s live—keep the snare tight and the inputs crisp. Let’s see if the courier can hold the tempo.

Mina Park7:28 AM

PR #471 merged. Build is green.

Team

Petra Novak

Designs every screen like a Cold War command console that someone forgot to declassify.

Mina Park

Builds the actual sim and is obsessed with command pictures, ontology graphs, and defense systems that keep fantasy tethered to reality.

Steve "Snake" Johnson

Cole's 12-year-old son and the crew's child-prodigy coder, obsessed with making every feature feel fast, sharp, and unfairly efficient.

Cole Mercer

Turns every prototype into a doctrinal crisis and a dramatic campaign briefing.

Anika Rao

Scores every launch like a Wagnerian overture and every countdown like a military drumline approaching the gates.

Owen Vale

Writes campaign bulletins, siege myths, and launch copy like the home front is listening.
