 ## 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).
+**Cinderwild 0.6.2** is released (download page and player guide:
+https://cinderwild.psbailey.uk, builds on the Gitea releases). Up to 0.6.0 it
+was called Emberwild (a name already taken on Steam); before that, Valheimlike.
+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, J3 (`docs/WORLDLETS_DESIGN.md`): worldlets as data, the Cove
+  (beach, pier, sea fishing, a stream), and the cliff tunnel between them,
+  with a save file per worldlet; on a server, a server per land (the Valley's
+  starts the Cove's on the next UDP port), with chat, the player list,
+  admin commands and sleep across lands, and one clock everywhere.
+- 0.6.0, the Cove's own (`docs/WORLDLETS_DESIGN.md` §5): the wreck, a
+  treasure map and a dig for each player, the drowned crew, crabs and gulls,
+  and a rowing boat to build and moor at the pier (sailing comes with the
+  Highlands). Report a bug in the pause menu; `docs/PLAYTEST.md` for testers.
+Next: after the playtest, J2 (each tunnel's own gate and supplies), then the
+Highlands (by sail).
+Running from the source, `godot --path . -- --dev-worldlets` lets New World
+start in any worldlet, to try one directly.

+`voice/` is spoken by **Qwen3-TTS** (Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B by Alibaba's Qwen
+team, Apache-2.0, https://huggingface.co/Qwen; run through mlx-audio, MIT).
+His voice, a reedy old West Country farmer, was designed once from a written
+description by Qwen3-TTS VoiceDesign (`tools/voice/old_tam/`), and every line
+is spoken by cloning that recording. Each line's takes are checked against
+the script by Whisper (OpenAI, MIT; mlx-whisper). The recordings are made from
+our own text; rebuild them with `tools/voice/make_voice.sh` after changing any
+line. (Up to 0.6.1 he was Kokoro-82M by hexgrad, Apache-2.0.)
+
+## Cinderwild's own (CC0)
+`music/`, `ambience/` and `sfx/synth/` are synthesised from scratch by
+`tools/audio/make_audio.py` (no samples): the five music tracks (calm,
+night, storm, danger, boss), the fire crackle, the creature voices, and the
+swings, eating, splashes, the fishing reel and bite, the bow, the hurt thump
+and death. Released under CC0 like the rest of this folder.
