What problem does it solve?
This guide defines a cohesive, repeatable process for establishing and maintaining a game's visual language from concept through production, ensuring art direction coherence across teams and assets.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Visual Identity Foundation: Defines the core visual rule, mood targets, and shape/color language to guide all assets.
- Production Guides: Converts identity decisions into concrete guidelines for characters, environments, UI, and asset pipelines.
- Reference Direction: Curates 3–5 specific references with explicit do/don't to anchor style, and reduces copy-paste art directions.
- Phase-driven authoring: Provides structured phases (vision, mood, shape, color, production, references, sign-off) with agent roles to coordinate work.
- Collaboration workflow: Integrates tasks with an art-director and technical-artist to surface conflicts and resolve them early.
Quick Start
Draft the Visual Identity Statement, gather pillar and platform basics, then run Phase 2 to define mood, language, and production rules.
