maroon-series.art:~$ show-patch 19.00
[19.00] — Major — 2026.02.17
▾
NEW
  • Imported the entirety of signalwars.neocities.com as a companion, satiric microsite — content, pages, and assets preserved.
  • Integrated cross-site references so chapter releases can reference Signal Wars artifacts directly.
IMPROVE
  • Updated the About / Context page to describe Mar00n as a distributed narrative project (novel + multiple companion sites).
  • Clarified project scope: novel (maroon-series.art), resistance hub (dumpthis.sh), corporate persona (newlife2084.com), and satiric companion (signalwars.neocities.com).
NOTES
  • Signal Wars content remains distinct in tone — satiric, transmedia, and synchronized with chapter drops.
  • See `about.html` for author statement and contact details.

NEW
  • Created residueb.html — transition page with signal-loss aesthetic.

IMPROVE

  • Added 2-second extended display duration for beloved introduction text for narrative impact.
  • Implemented TV signal tear-off effect for final reveal glitch-out (Cyrus Null, SIGNAL WARS, AM 1045).
DESIGN
  • Pure black (#000000) and white (#ffffff) aesthetic — minimalist, stark presentation.

  • All three name elements glitch off in unison with color channel displacement and scale distortion.
