Watch the cartridge grow.
This roadmap is generated from the authoritative Radical Red Definitive build. Every certified chapter, boss, map count and next frontier moves with the ROM instead of being maintained as marketing copy.
What is being worked on right now.
The world map remains tied to the last certified ROM. This queue intentionally shows newer internal QA work separately, so active development is visible without presenting unverified content as finished.

A build is not finished when it compiles.
Build 10.91.1 · Candidate v10.91-kalos-opening · SHA-256 e4eba7577e1e9249…
ROM size, section CRCs, mutation fences, save layout and registered data structures.
Representative exact-candidate traversal, battles, warps and reward state in mGBA.
Run the release candidate on the target GBA SP + SuperFW setup and check stability/performance.
Package the release, publish checksums/notes and unlock the download channel after the required release gates pass.
What “Definitive” is supposed to mean.
Hardware first
Every ambitious feature still has to fit the 32 MiB GBA target and survive real hardware.
Connected campaign
Regions should feel like one adventure with progression, travel, encounters and story—not a menu of isolated maps.
Live project truth
The roadmap reads the same generated project data as the build adapter, so the public frontier advances with the ROM.
No fake green checks
Static, emulator and hardware validation stay separate. A candidate is not called stable until it actually earns it.
Cyllage City / Grant
Run the visible v10.91 Kalos QA tour through Viola and Sycamore, then continue immediately from Ambrette into Cyllage City and Grant.
