PROJECT ROBLOX
📦 ARCHIVE You're looking at the first cut — the proxy promo we made before the twins pivoted us to Lemonade Stand Tycoon. The current build is at /video/bts-lst/.

First cut · Pet Salon Tycoon proxy

This is the original 60-second proxy promo, assembled with ffmpeg from PIL-rendered stills + deterministic SFX. It's what the twins reacted to before the operator pivoted the build to Lemonade Stand Tycoon. Preserved here only as evolution context.

The PST proxy cut

File: _bmad-output/video-artifacts/renders/final/pst-promo-final-v01.mp4 · 38 MB · proxy-quality (PIL stills + ffmpeg compose, $0 external spend).

Why pivot · the evolution

FIRST CUT (HERE)

Pet Salon Tycoon — failed all 4 axes

Twins didn't recognize it as Roblox. Art style, avatars, UI/HUD chrome, and gameplay loop all read as generic. The pet-salon theme also tested "too girly" with target audience.

Status: archived. No further work.

CURRENT BUILD

Lemonade Stand Tycoon — full rebuild

Same tycoon mechanics, kid-tested theme. New family-cameo R15 cast, Roblox HUD chrome, locked reference library, asset-first pipeline with gpt-image-2 + Runway.

Decision trail

The pivot is documented in the internal decision ledger: first the pet-salon pause, then the switch to Lemonade Stand Tycoon, then the current video rebuild.
