Releases are sent to VitaDB after publishing; the vitadb workflow re-sends one by hand.

Prison: the sheathed sword rides in its scabbard; the strongbox is carried in the hand and placed once; the crusher and its camera reset; the torture door follows its collision.
Ivory Tower: the start room's exit is open (an Aperture is a portal, not a wall); the intro cameras face the right way.
Cameras glide to the next scripted shot unless it cuts; look takes one actor facing another; a negative snooze lasts for good.
Leaving a level plays its cutscene and carries health, sword, bow and arrows to the next; the finale ends with its win or lose movie.
Action traps need the Prince within 1.7 of the pivot and facing it; pickups need him within 1.5, level with the item and facing it.
A guard's prize stays out of play until he falls, then drops where he fell.
Shield potion stops arrows only; Guard potion makes guards ignore the Prince; each potion plays its own sound.
Guards swing once at an unarmed Prince, recover from a block in 0.37 s, follow a Prince who backs off, answer repeats and quick swings by blocking, attack on the original's irregular timing, and honour InhibitDeath.

Vita: LiveArea icon, startup and background now come from the Prince of Persia 3D art in platforms/vita/art.

Guards notice the Prince as the original does: range, view cone, line of sight, footsteps and a drawn sword; they lose him out of sight.
Vita build keeps a margin after the code segment for vita-elf-create.
In a fight the camera swings behind the Prince along the line to the guard.
Each guard uses his own clip set, so guards die and get hurt with their own animations.
The sheathed sword rides in the scabbard; drawing and sheathing end at the clips' own markers.
Door and platform animations turn about the placement's axes; hidden Kill/Trigger boxes are no longer drawn.

Walk key (Shift / pad LT) for careful steps, back steps and sidesteps; running is the default.
Small drops fall quietly, clips slide along walls, guards keep to the floor.
Collision tests moving geometry node by node; K2_PROFILE prints casts and milliseconds per frame.
Saves keep the level's state: traps, doors, crates, pickups, dead guards, props, bow and arrows.
Prince climbs and slides poles, catches and swings on bars, and grabs swinging ropes.
Flamethrowers, floor spikes, fireball launchers, arrow chargers and darts at the traced speed and damage.
Solid fixtures (carts, dropped crates) collide; Movers start their motions when the level opens.
Keyframed clips leave unkeyed joints posed; the Prince rides moving platforms.
Prince,kill:<clip> script message and K2_SCRIPTAUDIT listing unhandled script targets.

Prince runs with start/stop steps and quick turns, from the traced locomotion states.
Combat has aimed blocks, counters, feints, clashes, finishing moves, taunts and queued presses.
Bow and arrows, archers, and deaths by cause (drowning, falls, blades, grinders, crushers).
Action traps: levers, cranes, the cart, the crusher, Assan's mouth.
Collapsing floors, dart launchers, water currents, Messenger state machines and the Abyss.
Falls hurt and walking off an edge falls.
The level's exit leads to the next level; saves, loads and restarts keep their level.
Script messages for Prince hurt, weapons, enemy forwarding, WalkAt, and security and look cameras.
Pickups have reach, drink/inspect and finish clips; only the sword arms him.
Guards start at their trap's pivot; crates fire CrateTarget scripts.

Skills read as the original's object graph; locomotion, collision and chase camera work.
Trap message scripts run: areas, delays, gates, pressure plates, doors with keyframe skills.
Push and pull crates; jumping with the original's launch velocities and gravity; ledges.
Gamepad support and Modern/Classic control schemes.
Game sounds play: scripts, ambiences and skill keys.
Guards fight and the Prince takes up the sword; fight timing from fight.ini.
Health as potion bottles; pickups and potion effects; Item messages carry objects.
Swimming on the surface, diving and under water on one bottle of air.
Fixture actors (prisoners, rats, props) and keyframed (SklK) skills.
NetImmerse 2.3 .nif reader and the visual effects it drives.
TrueType rasterizer for the game's UI font.
Cutscene playback: QuickTime demuxer, Sorenson Video 1 and QDesign Music 2 decoders, --movie NAME.
Title screen, game menu, options, load/save, cinematics and credits.
Crouch and crawl through low gaps; shower spray falls.
PlayStation Vita platform: GXM renderer, touch, motion, three cores.
Parallel level loading, frustum culling, worker-core poses and a loading screen.
Movies stream from disk; file lookups on demand; cached file index; faster number parsing.
Level loading includes every region's rooms.
README describing the project, building, controls, Vita and tools.

Boot driven through the module manager.
Skeleton hierarchy recovered; body parts bound to joints and posed; forward kinematics reproduces the bind pose.
Prince walks with a chase camera.
Level parser fixes for section headers with trailing text and quoted bodies.
