# 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 `status` field (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.**
|
|
|
|
1. **Contraband Specification** — formalize D-037 as a standalone document. Unblocks Paula's NPC motivations and Mellanie's cargo dialogue. Immediate.
|
|
2. **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.
|
|
3. **Wiki taxonomy structure + first entries** — create `wiki/` directory with templates, Krenn System entry, Station Sova entry, Sova Transit District entry. Establishes the pattern.
|
|
4. **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.
|
|
5. **Detective institutional chain of command** — who assigned the investigation, stated mandate, political pressures. Blocks Paula's detective character build.
|
|
6. **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)
