north stars

Project overview, file index, and current state. Start here when reorienting to the project.

The north star — game identity, core principles, design non-negotiables. What we are making and why.

Engineering and systems reference — gameplay mechanics, progression, design philosophy, open questions.

Species and cultural portraits — peoples of the Known Woodlands, their places, values, and relationships.

Historical design reference from the earlier iteration of the project. Archaeology, not blueprint.
