# Tiger - Project Briefing
Last updated: 2026-02-10

## Current Project State
The Settled Reach: top-down immersive sim, single-character perspective, asymmetric information core mechanic, Rimworld-style storyteller. 29 confirmed decisions, 17 discussion rounds complete. Engine selected (D-020). Vertical slice defined (D-027).

## Status
STANDBY. This briefing will be populated when localization work begins.

## Key Decisions for Your Domain
- D-016: Internal monologue system - localization of character voice and personality through text
- D-021: Official title "The Settled Reach"
- Q-008: Licensing (open question - affects localization scope and supported languages)

### Round 17 Decisions (Localization Implications)
- **D-028: Tagged line pool dialogue system** - Localization advantages: each line is tagged with context metadata (access tier, relationship level, trust threshold, mood). Translators receive rich context. Lines are pooled, not tree-branched — translation scope is predictable. Trait modifiers apply post-translation (base line + transformation guide = variants in target language).
