Official Announcement

Section titled “Official Announcement”

This document is an official 【Progress】 stage progress announcement within the FireMatch development progress archive.

It confirms a completed stage-level fact:

As of this point in time, the Comprehensive Development Documentation Structure of FireMatch Empire
has completed overall design, received internal confirmation, and been formally established,
and has since entered active use as the sole structural carrier for project development, discussion, and external explanation.

Progress Description

Section titled “Progress Description”

On 2025-11-28 【PST】, FireMatch internally completed and confirmed the overall structural design of
the FireMatch Empire · Comprehensive Development Documentation.

The establishment of this structure marked the project’s transition from:

  • Fragmented ideas and phase-based notes
  • Non-unified discussion documents

into:

  • A documentation system with clear hierarchy and defined responsibilities
  • A development record structure capable of long-term maintenance, expansion, and reference

The comprehensive documentation system is no longer treated merely as a place to “store content,”
but is recognized as core infrastructure within the development process itself.

Overview of the Comprehensive Documentation Structure (Summary)

Section titled “Overview of the Comprehensive Documentation Structure (Summary)”

At this stage, the overall directory structure of the FireMatch Empire · Comprehensive Development Documentation
was established in parallel.

This documentation system adopts:

  • Thirteen primary document categories
  • A complete two-level directory structure
  • No third-level hierarchy

This design ensures long-term clarity, stability, and extensibility.

Core Principles of the Structural Design

Section titled “Core Principles of the Structural Design”

The directory structure of the comprehensive documentation follows these principles:

  • Each document category has a clear and stable semantic responsibility
  • Worldbuilding, systems, technology, data, text, and commercial content are strictly separated at the structural level
  • Long-term maintainability is prioritized over one-time completeness
  • All formal documents are subject to unified, constitution-level constraints

The documentation structure is treated as part of the project’s infrastructure,
not as a simple collection of content.

Macroscopic Classification of Document Types

Section titled “Macroscopic Classification of Document Types”

From an overall perspective, the comprehensive documentation system covers the following major layers:

  • Constitutional and documentation governance layer
  • Worldview and narrative layer
  • Technology and age structure layer
  • Core systems and gameplay layer
  • Mathematics, economics, and data support layer
  • Events, text, and generation template layer
  • Art, experience, and engineering standards layer
  • Business, publishing, and long-term operations layer
  • Inspiration pool and experimental record layer

Each category is structurally independent,
forming a cooperative whole through references and associations,
without substituting for one another at the semantic level.

Relationship with Other Systems

Section titled “Relationship with Other Systems”

At this stage, the documentation systems of FireMatch Empire were explicitly divided into distinct semantic layers,
each serving different responsibilities.

Documentation used to record development progress and state judgments
is structurally independent from documentation used to carry civilizational narrative and canonical content.

Different systems may reference one another through links,
but do not replace each other in meaning or authority,
to prevent misuse, misinterpretation, or overreach.

Progress Boundary Clarification

Section titled “Progress Boundary Clarification”

This announcement does not indicate that:

  • All documentation content has been completed
  • The documentation structure will never be adjusted or expanded in the future
  • The documentation system constitutes any functional, scheduling, or commercial commitment

This announcement exists solely to confirm that:

FireMatch Empire has completed the
formal establishment of its comprehensive development documentation structure,
and is no longer in a disordered or provisional state.

Progress Attributes

Section titled “Progress Attributes”
  • Type: 【Progress】
  • Nature: Development documentation structure established
  • Overwritable: No
  • Constitutes a commitment: No

Historical Positioning

Section titled “Historical Positioning”

This announcement marks a key turning point in the development of FireMatch Empire:

The project acquired
a documentation infrastructure capable of long-term support for complex systems, civilizational narrative, and stage-based judgment.

All subsequent records concerning development status, system design, stage progress, and civilization archives
are established on the premise of the documentation structure confirmed at this stage.
