|

|
## Workshop Summary
|
|
|
|
Three rounds produced unanimous consensus on art direction fundamentals:
|
|
|
|
- **Visual style:** Clean 2D, bold silhouettes, muted palette, lighting-driven atmosphere
|
|
- **Camera:** Shallow-tilt top-down (Rimworld-style) — D-019 amendment
|
|
- **World composition:** Tile-based, 1x1 placed objects on a grid (base builder compatible)
|
|
- **Lighting:** Darkwood cone mechanics + BR2049 color temperature + Hopper emotional register
|
|
- **Entity system:** 24x32 on 64x64 tiles, silhouette = identity (D-033 color = relationship)
|
|
- **Fog of perception:** Cone-shaped (D-015), graduated desaturation, fog = absence of knowledge
|
|
- **Insert overlay:** Geometric data + bloom render = precision perceived as organic
|
|
- **Environment:** Strict zero shift on conspiracy. Character temperature via daily spatial paths.
|
|
- **Animation:** Two-tier (clear routine / ambiguous investigation)
|
|
- **Weather:** Gameplay system (perception modifier, NPC disruptor, storyteller tool)
|
|
- **Z-levels:** 8-layer stack, walls Option B structural / Option A partitions, sprite stacking OUT
|
|
- **v0.1.1:** ~20-35 sprites, bar + corridor test scene, prove art direction in-engine
|
|
- **Planet:** Velen (Van Maanen's Star, temperate-maritime)
|
|
|
|
## Mood Board Images
|
|
|
|
9 images generated. Key references:
|
|
- **#1** (bar): Warmth register
|
|
- **#5** (vision cone): Camera scale and perspective
|
|
- **#6** (span gate): Emotional register, mundane-extraordinary
|
|
- **#7** (convergence): First synthesis attempt
|
|
- **#8** (tile composition): Tile-based world proven
|
|
- **#9** (bar antagonists): Emotional core — populated bar, surveillance composition
|

|
## Closing Round Instructions
|
|
|
|
This is your final statement. Keep it short. Address:
|
|
|
|
1. **Does the workshop output capture your domain's concerns?** Anything missing?
|
|
2. **What's the single most important thing to get right in v0.1.1?** One sentence.
|
|
3. **Any flags for Qatux's decision recording?** Corrections, nuances, things that must be worded carefully.
|
|
4. **One sentence: what is this game's visual identity?**
|
|
|
|
Write to `closing-{your-name}.md`. Qatux: compile the final workshop document after all four closing statements.
