Brainstorming Docs
Loose notes on a mobile crafting game. Early phase — these are working ideas, not decisions. Refine freely.
- 00-concept.md — pitch, design pillars, references
- 01-core-loop.md — the gather→craft→equip→hire engine
- 02-roster.md — minions, classes, traits, paper-doll portraits, relationships
- 03-crafting.md — stations, multi-tier supply chains, quality bands, discovery
- 04-expeditions.md — AFK timer-resolved, procedural events
- 05-economy-progression.md — market, patrons, Guild Rank, dopamine sources
- 06-asset-pipeline.md — AI in production, pre-rendered runtime, bundle strategy
- 07-item-cards.md — layered sprite composition, item cards, visible crafting choices
- 08-ux-ui.md — inventory tiers, scene-based navigation, backdrops, notification surface
- 09-art-style.md — pixel art, Floyd-Steinberg dithering, palette-as-art-direction, pixel/HD coherence rules

- 11-setting.md — generic medieval fantasy with gnomish-steampunk and dark-elf-necromancy flavor pockets
- 12-onboarding.md — five-beat first-five-minutes walkthrough, forced-crit hook, soft-not-modal tutorial discipline
- 13-reveal-choreography.md — card-flip choreography per quality band, length-scales-with-magnitude principle, critical/discovery special cases
- 14-materials.md — materials taxonomy (raw / refined / components / consumables / trophies), supply chain depth, quality at every stage
- 15-audio.md — Kelethin-style mellow ambient direction, MIDI-source pipeline, sample-pack SFX strategy, mobile audio engineering
- 16-engagement-layers.md — three layers of crafting feel: juice, Master's Touch (Sherlock-style two-meter), adjacent-station synergy
- 17-foldins-2026-05-12.md — session fold-ins: Steam-first, session pacing, capability/risk model, interactive expeditions, consumables-as-economy-driver, named-character emergence + LotRO-style titles
- 99-open-questions.md — parking lot
- samples/ — reference assets demonstrating the production pipeline
