Clearer ground surfaces
The stone has been lightened and distant paving softened. The shaders use coordinate derivatives to reduce fine details as the camera moves away, reducing pattern shimmer.
PROJECT JOURNAL / 01
Montpellier is moving forward.
Here's how.
From the first prototype to the details that make a difference: images, technical choices and next steps for the Montpellier ECU ecosystem.

01A more detailed city.
MONTPELLIER IN 3D · PROTOTYPE
A more detailed city.
The same places, a fresh perspective.
The latest pass improves five areas of the game: ground surfaces, shops, Peyrou, Antigone and the Lez. The comparisons use the same framing and lighting to make the changes clear.

02
Streets coming to life
Shop windows have been furnished and windows enriched. Façade materials add local variation without rebuilding the map.
03
A less uniform Peyrou
Bark colour variations and slightly irregular foliage volumes give the trees more variety while keeping their positions.
04
An identity for Antigone
Pale façades, horizontal bands and pilasters locally replace generic shutters. The shader distinguishes the neoclassical style from that of the old city centre.
05
Reworked riverbanks and water
Vegetated strips follow the shore. Their geometry is clipped to avoid overlapping the water; ripples combine several scales to reduce regularity.
02MTP OS & Lumia.
FROM PROTOTYPES TO DEVICES
MTP OS & Lumia.
Two fields of experimentation.
TESTED IN A VIRTUAL MACHINE
MTP OS: a desktop with a Montpellier ECU identity
The Montpellier ECU centre starts in a FreeBSD virtual machine. The midnight-blue and gold desktop, MTP menu, local spoken welcome and market widget form an initial native integration.
Understanding the technical progress
The centre retains a dated cache when the network is disconnected. Programs are launched through a catalogue and a confirmation step. The 10 October report records 42 successful application tests under FreeBSD and a verified restart.
The splash transition still needs work. Speech recognition and generative conversation have not been validated. No public ISO has been produced.
WINDOWS PHONE / ARM32
PORT IN PROGRESSLumia: preparing local AI for older hardware
The llama.cpp engine libraries have been compiled for ARM32/UWP. A UWP host and its package have been built on PC to prepare for running a small GGUF model.
Understanding the technical progress
The port adapts system access to UWP constraints: desktop-only Windows functions are disabled and model weights are read into RAM. This validates compilation, but not yet operation on the phone.
The next proof required: actual generation on Lumia, followed by memory and speed measurements. Engine installation and local inference are not confirmed at this stage.
03
AN ECOSYSTEM TAKING SHAPE
The website, tools and creations.
WEBSITE LIVEBrowse the library →
Clearer access to projects
The Premium homepage brings the projects together, a dedicated page presents the game and a library links to 31 public resources. The classic experience remains available.
What has changed technically
Pages have direct links and dedicated metadata. The homepage has been checked on desktop and mobile. Market information is hidden when price freshness or data quality cannot be verified.
Firebase email/password configuration is ready; website forms and sessions still need to be integrated before registration opens.
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENTDiscover MATRIX →
MATRIX & AI infrastructure
Work focuses on organising roles, choosing models and establishing cloud-service access conditions. Audits and offline checks prepare the next experiments.
Where does the AWS work stand?
Preparing access and quotas does not establish operational inference capacity. The latest reports consulted confirm no successful inference response. This remains experimental work, with no public cloud service promised.
CREATIONS IN PREPARATIONDiscover the graphic novels →
Comics, stories & visual worlds
The creations extend the Montpellier ECU universe: De l’écran à l’abandon, Le Comte, Wung Su and Hagakure. The website presents the introductions and previews available.
From editorial work to publication
Mock-ups and previews must be distinguished from final editions. Corrections and editorial validation continue; catalogue payments remain disabled.
