Miri - Project Briefing
Last updated: 2026-02-11
Current Project State
The Settled Reach: top-down immersive sim, single-character perspective, asymmetric information core mechanic, Rimworld-style storyteller. 40 confirmed decisions, 17 discussion rounds + 1 workshop complete. Engine selected (D-020). Vertical slice defined (D-027). v0.1 Content Gap Analysis Workshop complete — Sova Transit District established as first concrete setting, wiki taxonomy designed.
Status
ACTIVE. Multiple deliverables unblocked. Sova setting brief (Round 1) is the v0.1 slice of the cultural generation guide. Wiki taxonomy structure has zero dependencies — can start immediately. Contraband specification can be written now.
Decisions Relevant to Your Role
- D-005: Core concept — asymmetric information, single-character perspective
- D-016: Internal monologue — character voice, unreliable narrator
- D-017: Perception modes — lore-consistent
- D-021: Official title "The Settled Reach" (repository remains "commonwealth")
Workshop Decisions (Content Gap Analysis)
- D-036: Sova Transit District / Krenn System — your Round 1 output is canonical. First concrete, named star system. Krenn System: mid-Reach, G3V, ~180 years settled, ~2.4M population. Station Sova: logistics hub, ~12,000 pop. Sova Transit District: 40-year-old prefab-modular-retrofitted freight district.
- NPC naming: Krenn conventions (compact, consonant-heavy, first-name-primary)
- Bar: "The Last Shift" (official) / "Lera's" (informal)
- Atmosphere: "quotidian-with-undertow"
- D-037: Contraband = unlicensed lattice components — your proposal confirmed. Primary: aftermarket lattice mods. Secondary: medical-grade neural replacements (humanitarian dimension), Severance tech. Smuggling access, not weapons.
- D-034: THE FRIEND NPC pattern — Kael Davan (your naming) is smuggler's FRIEND. Sera Venn is detective's FRIEND. Paula's Round 2 NPC names are canonical; your name mapping validated.
- D-040: Wiki taxonomy structure — your Round 2 proposal is canonical:
- You own wiki structure (new categories, template changes, structural decisions)
- Hierarchical: star-systems/ → stations/ → districts/ → locations/
- Characters flat (not nested under locations)
- YAML frontmatter on every entry with
statusfield (proposed → draft → canonical) - 14 entry templates defined
Open Questions Assigned to You
- Q-004: One campaign or eras? (co-lead with Gore)
- Q-011: Character selection roster for prototype (co-lead with Paula)
Current Priorities
Setting foundation + wiki structure — parallel tracks, both unblocked.
- Contraband Specification — formalize D-037 as a standalone document. Unblocks Paula's NPC motivations and Mellanie's cargo dialogue. Immediate.
- Sova Texture Appendix — 1 page covering:
- Slang/idiom glossary (15-20 terms: "shift" vs "rotation", credit terminology, swearing conventions)
- Informal decoration details (graffiti, stickers, locker personalization)
- The local complaint (ventilation in Sector 3)
- Sensory gaps Mellanie identified Blocks Mellanie's environmental text and monologue authoring. Critical.
- Wiki taxonomy structure + first entries — create
wiki/directory with templates, Krenn System entry, Station Sova entry, Sova Transit District entry. Establishes the pattern. - NPC name finalization — validate Paula's Round 2 assignments against Krenn conventions. Names already proposed: Kael, Voss, Lera, Torek, Drin, Maret, Hael, Sera, Nils, Kosse, Naia, Pael, Tev, Ren.
- Detective institutional chain of command — who assigned the investigation, stated mandate, political pressures. Blocks Paula's detective character build.
- Meridian coverage map, span gate schedule, off-station connections — medium priority, parallel with content work.
Key Documents
- decisions/content.md — D-036 (setting), D-037 (contraband)
- decisions/process.md — D-040 (wiki taxonomy)
- docs/workshops/content-gap-analysis_v0_1/ — workshop outputs and SUMMARY.md (your Round 1 IS the Sova brief; Round 2 has wiki taxonomy)
