## [Unreleased]

## [0.3.0] - 2026-04-11

### Added
- **Snow atmosphere effect** — tsParticles snowfall with size variation for depth, gentle drift, and adjustable intensity (60–300 flakes). Appears in the atmosphere panel between Rain and Embers.

## [0.2.0] - 2026-04-11

### Added
- Public brochure site (`site/`) — static marketing page with feature screenshots, feature rows, publisher section, and Discord/GitHub links; Playwright script generates screenshots automatically

### Changed
- **Fire effect** — reworked colour ramp (dark red tips → rich orange → amber → warm yellow core); per-column height variation gives the flame a ragged, realistic silhouette; ember glow at the base; overall taller at all intensity levels
- **Rain** — more translucent drops (opacity 0.15–0.40); speed range halved so high intensity feels heavy, not frantic; direction tilts from vertical at low intensity to 70° at high intensity (wind-driven effect)
- **Embers** — smaller particles (0.8–2.2 px) and more numerous (50–150 at full intensity)

### Fixed
- Fog overlay no longer jumps at ~3 seconds — a CSS keyframe animation was overriding the inline intensity-based opacity value when it ended; replaced with a CSS transition driven by a React mount state
