Every concept, one tap away.

Current candidates first. Earlier explorations preserved below for reference.

● Fire integration — the real flame in place (July 28)

v7 reimagined · Step 1 · July 28

Motion grayboard — one fire, five worlds

Judge the choreography, not the looks: gray placeholder worlds assemble around the real flame on scroll — stones, hearth, chimney, home — corners alive, thresholds between eras. Desktop for the full journey.

v5 + fire · The Survey · Kimi

The ceremonial interlude, lit

The Kept Bonfire plays once inside the arch, then settles into the graded still. The fire becomes the page.

v6 + fire · Long Hearth · Claude

Ember field behind the glass, bonfire at First Light

The real C2 field runs the whole page; the bonfire ignites at the kindle and settles under the mark.

v6 + fire · Long Hearth · Kimi

The pinned descent, into real coals

Same journey with the graded ember field under the scrub; the bonfire takes the resolution beat.

v7 + fire · Eras · Claude

One real flame, five rooms

The kling4 loop IS the persistent flame the eras draw around, settling into the mark's ember.

v7 + fire · Eras · Kimi

Same eras, flame above the line

The real fire burns in front of the era line-art; at the resolution it cools into the still, then the ember.

● Current round — the decision (July 24–25)

v5 · The Survey · Kimi

Restrained editorial — interpretation A

Quiet ivory site, one ceremonial fire interlude. Contours verbatim from the brand board.

v5 · The Survey · Claude

Restrained editorial — interpretation B

Same direction, independent take. Compare spacing, type, and the interlude staging.

v6 · The Long Hearth · Claude

Cinematic scroll journey — interpretation A

Fire pinned throughout; scroll travels deeper until it resolves into the mark.

v6 · The Long Hearth · Kimi

Cinematic scroll journey — interpretation B

Same journey, different staging and resolution timing. Judge the scroll feel.

● Story concept — v7 Eras (July 26)

v7 · Eras · Claude

Same Hearth Every Era — interpretation A

One flame, five rooms across history. Cave → forge → hearth → grate → furnace → the mark.

v7 · Eras · Kimi

Same Hearth Every Era — interpretation B

Same five-era journey, independent take. Compare the line-art hand and the resolution pacing.
