 ## Status
 See `docs/ROADMAP.md` for milestones and `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` for the design.
 
-Current milestone: **M0 — playable single-player world skeleton** (scaffolding on disk; needs Godot 4 installed to open & run).
+**Emberwild 0.4.1** is released (download page and player guide:
+https://emberwild-95k.pages.dev, builds on the Gitea releases). Built so far:
+- M0-M1: the island, survival, crafting, building, weather, wildlife, hunting, fishing.
+- M2: self-hosted multiplayer (Host Game, dedicated servers, rules, chat, admin).
+- P1-P5 (`docs/PROGRESSION_DESIGN.md`): iron, stone building, the wolf moon and
+  alpha, the bear, crows and foxes, the barrow, hazards, the Old Stag. P6: a use
+  for every material, lights to place, dropping items, bag rows on the hotbar.
+- T1, T2, T4 (`docs/TUTORIAL_DESIGN.md`): the tutorial with Old Tam (spoken),
+  and his tips in normal worlds.
+- M4 so far: packaged builds, the update check, music, ambience, sound effects
+  and creature voices (`assets/audio/CREDITS.md`), the trailer and help pages,
+  the map (N) and compass.
+- W0-W3, J1 (`docs/WORLDLETS_DESIGN.md`): worldlets as data, the Cove (beach,
+  pier, sea fishing), and the cliff tunnel between them, with a save file per
+  worldlet (single-player).
+Next: J3, the journey on a server ("spread out"), then the Highlands.
+Running from the source, `godot --path . -- --dev-worldlets` lets New World
+start in any worldlet, to try one directly.
 
 ## Requirements
