|----------|------|-------|-------------|

| Icons | [icons.md](icons.md) | 0 | UI icons, status indicators |

## Palette

See [palette.md](palette.md) for art direction, "the angle", color relationships, and render pipeline specs.

## Pipeline

- **3D render pipeline:** Blender model → Godot Camera3D at -72.5deg → orthographic render → outline pass → resolution downscale
- **Render skill:** `/sprite-gen` produces 12 PNGs (4 directions x 3 resolutions)
- **Art direction workshop:** `docs/workshops/art-direction-mood-board/`

## Decision References

- D-019: Top-down camera, 15-20deg from vertical ("the angle")
- D-033: Entity color = relationship to player
- D-045: Environmental neutrality
