## Overview

Soundromeda is a music action-adventure game. A creative-first studio, small team, big ambition, and a vibe-coded prototype that had to become a real product.

## What's the challenge?

Vibe-coded scaffolding: main path works, everything else breaks. Small creative-first studio, no budget for a rewrite. Grant committees about to look at the build. QA had to find the bugs that mattered, surface the real risk, and harden the product into something a funder would back, without forcing a refactor the studio couldn’t afford.

## What call did we make?

### Client expected a few bug fixes. Outside the happy path there was far more to do. We fixed it together.

> The client expected we'd close a handful of bugs to unlock the next grant cycle. What we found underneath: outside the happy path, the product needed substantially more work than a bug list. We had the honest conversation up front. Then weeks of collaborative bug discovery, severity-tiered triage, and fixes done with the studio, not at them, so they could maintain what we built. The next grant didn't fund a pitch. It funded a product that survived real testing.

## What We Did

Small studio, no rewrite budget, grant deadline. We triaged bugs by user-visible risk, not codebase tidiness, closed the right hundred, left the wrong thousand. Continuous bug discovery and reproduction across game flows, severity-tiered triage aligned to release priorities, fix verification, and the hardening work that took the prototype to a state grant committees would back. Code aesthetics deferred. The next grant came through.

## Outcomes

- **Category:** Risk

### Further Grants - Unlocked (Client-Reported)
- **Category:** Business

## What We Learned

Vibe-coded products fail predictably: the hot path works, everything else doesn’t. The trick is bug triage that maps to user-visible risk, not codebase tidiness. Closing the right hundred bugs is worth more than refactoring around them.
