DEVLOG #8— black hole that breathes, two new endings, and audio that falls with you. stayed up again with also waking up early. worth it.the black hole disk color now reacts live to whatever scene you’re in. orange on approach, shifting toward blue through the quantum scenes, white-hot for the information paradox, purple for kerr-newman, teal for the new universe ending. not hardcoded per scene — it lerps smoothly every frame toward the target color so you actually see it transition, not snap.two new endings. The Boundary State — stay on the AdS₂ boundary, become the CFT, dissolve into the hologram. The New Universe — burn through the firewall, pass the cauchy horizon, tunnel into a new exterior the meissner gap protected you through. 6 endings total now, not 4.then audio. this was the big one. four layers — sub drone, mid drone an octave up with slight detune for thickness, a triangle-wave organ (C3 + G3, the interstellar chord), and a sawtooth shimmer through a lowpass filter for that ethereal high end. all generated live with Web Audio API. no files. ever.23 scene configs. each one tunes drone frequency, gain, organ volume, shimmer pitch, filter cutoff, all lerping toward the target every 100ms so scene transitions feel like the sound is actually moving, not cutting. act I is quiet. act III builds — by scene 20 (the firewall) the drone is almost a growl. the classical ending drops to near silence. unitarity opens up airy and bright. the remnant ending freezes — pulse rate hits zero, nothing moves, because nothing should move in an eternal horizon.the sound design is doing the same job the disk color does. it’s not decoration. it’s another channel telling you where you are in the physics.what’s next: leaderboard — track which ending players reach most, live global stats pulled from the backend. and a codex — a physics glossary that unlocks term by term as you move through scenes, so by the end you’ve basically built your own reference sheet for everything from surface gravity to the no-cloning theorem.the quantum particle arc continues. 🫡
