Closing Statement: Araminta (Art Direction & Mood Board)

1. Does the workshop capture my domain?
Yes. The visual design surfaces are covered: palette, lighting, entity system, fog rendering, insert overlay, z-stack, tile composition, camera angle, animation tiers, weather rendering. The v0.1.1 sprite set gives me a concrete first deliverable.
One thing to carry forward that isn't a decision but a production principle: sprites are shape templates that the lighting system completes. Flat-lit assets, engine-driven atmosphere. This must be in the Nano Banana style guide as rule #1 — no baked shadows, no baked lighting, no baked mood. The sprites are neutral. Light2D does the rest.
2. Most important thing for v0.1.1?
The Light2D warm/cool zone contrast working with the fog-of-perception cone in a single scene — that's the moment the art direction stops being a document and becomes the game.
3. Flags for decision recording
- D-019 amendment should state "Rimworld-angle shallow tilt" explicitly, not "slight isometric" — those are different things. Rimworld is orthographic with a cosmetic forward tilt. Isometric implies diamond grid geometry. Keep the language precise.
- Wall rendering (Option B structural / Option A partitions) may need revisiting now that the shallow tilt naturally shows wall faces. At Rimworld's angle, even thin partitions show a front face. The distinction may collapse to just thickness/color rather than rendering method. Flag as "confirmed in principle, implementation detail pending Tyre/Stig."
- "Entity always wins visual ties" should be recorded as a hard rendering rule. If an entity and an object overlap, the entity's D-033 color must remain visible. This is a readability guarantee, not an aesthetic preference.
4. One sentence
A well-maintained space station where the lighting tells you how to feel and the people tell you what to fear.
Araminta. Keep it clean.
