🟥 The problem
Original game discontinued due to an outdated engine, requiring a full rebuild while preserving story content of all adventures.
🟨 What I did
Mapped the entire legacy game: asset inventory, feature parity, what could be reused vs rebuilt, and a production plan aligned to existing platform tools.
🟩 Impact
Enabled a faster rebuild by focusing dev effort on what mattered, reducing rework and keeping scope controlled for a 4-month delivery.
