Sprint 32: Landfall — Visual Tasks

Goal: Close Phase 1 — deliver remaining deliverables, validate pipelines with spikes, kick off Phase 2 economics design.

Branch: sprint-32/visual Agents: Araminta (art direction)

New Tickets

# Title Blocked by
#778 Heightmap pipeline spike — single example for review
#779 Planetary shader screenshots for wiki/GTTR
#795 Icon set design for implant HUD components

Use tooling/db/ticket show <id> for full details.

Key Decisions

  • decisions/perception.md — D-086 (insert icon system — custom SVG constraints)
  • decisions/architecture.md — D-166 (development cascade), D-169 (implant UI component library)
  • decisions/scope.md — D-170 (HUD visibility groups)

Notes

#778 Heightmap spike — ONE example

Produce a single annotated heightmap for one inhabited planet. The user wants to validate the approach and visual style before committing to batch production.

Deliverable: One heightmap with annotations (cities, rivers, roads, biomes) + brief pipeline documentation describing how the batch will work.

Pick a planet with varied terrain — a good candidate has mountains, water, and at least one major settlement to showcase all annotation types.

#794 Heightmap batch — DEFERRED TO SPRINT 33

Moved out of Sprint 32. Will start after #778 spike is reviewed and approved.

#779 Planetary shader screenshots

Per-planet-type screenshots for GTTR arrival window content. These appear in the wiki/GTTR as the visual first impression of each world.

#795 Icon set design

Design the icon vocabulary for the implant HUD. This blocks #787 (client team's minimap + stance label conversion).

Output: SVG icon set following D-086 constraints:

  • Custom SVG, not icon font
  • 1px stroke base weight
  • #c8d0e0 chrome color (runtime-replaceable)
  • Minimal anchor points, clean geometry

Icons needed:

  • Stance indicators (WALK, CAREFUL, SPRINT, CROUCH)
  • Status badges (health, perception mode)
  • Interaction prompt icons

Dependency Chain

#778 (heightmap spike) → #794 (batch heightmaps, DEFERRED to Sprint 33)
#795 (icon design) → #787 (client: stance label, cross-team)
#779 (screenshots) → standalone
