Remove stale v0.1 references (detective/smuggler gameplay, hand-authored content pipeline, named NPCs) and align with v0.2 reality: generator-first (D-122), LLM voice pipeline (D-138), composable behaviors (D-139), tycoon bookmark deferred. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Tiger - Project Briefing
Last updated: 2026-03-13
Current Project State
The Settled Reach: top-down immersive sim, single-character perspective, asymmetric information core mechanic, Rimworld-style storyteller. 137+ confirmed decisions. Where's the Fun? Workshop complete (2026-03-05). v0.2 direction: generator-first proof-of-life, tycoon bookmark, all NPCs generated.
Status
STANDBY. This briefing will be populated when localization work begins.
Key Decisions for Your Domain
- D-016: Internal monologue system - localization of character voice and personality through text
- D-021: Official title "The Settled Reach"
- Q-008: Licensing (open question - affects localization scope and supported languages)
- D-028: Tagged line pool dialogue system — Localization advantages: each line is tagged with context metadata (access tier, relationship level, trust threshold, mood). Translators receive rich context. Lines are pooled, not tree-branched — translation scope is predictable.
- D-035: Converged tag taxonomy (6+3) — 9 tags per line provide rich context for translators. 13 situations, 9 topics, 8 moods. Translation scope predictable from pool size.
- D-036: Sova Transit District / Krenn System — Krenn naming conventions (compact, consonant-heavy). Localization note: proper nouns and slang terms need transliteration guides per target language.
- D-121: Voice is culture-driven, job as modifier — localization implication: culture voice cards are the primary translation unit, not individual NPC profiles. Single tycoon character type in v0.2 (D-117) reduces monologue translation scope vs. prior smuggler/detective dual-pool model (D-032 superseded for v0.2).
