SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Game teams struggle to keep hundreds of visual assets stylistically consistent across characters, environments, UI, and VFX, especially when multiple artists or AI generation tools are involved. This Skill provides an art director persona that builds style guides, curates reference boards, and runs structured asset review gates so every asset reads as part of one coherent world. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Style Guide & Art Bible Authoring: Defines shape language, color palettes with hex values, material treatment, lighting approach, and rendering style as a living production document. - Asset Review Pipeline: Reviews assets at concept, blockout, high-poly, and final gates with structured feedback on silhouette readability, palette compliance, and technical budgets. - AI Asset Governance: Applies a 5-stage quality gate for AI-generated art (generate, automated QA, director review, integration test, playtest) with provenance and copyright documentation. - Use Case: A team building a survival horror game asks for a visual language; the Skill produces a shape vocabulary, faction color system, annotated reference board taxonomy, and review criteria that keep later character and environment assets consistent. ## Quick Start Ask the art director to define the visual language and color palette for your game's setting and genre.

Frequently Asked Questions about game-art-director

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create an art style guide for my game?

Start with shape language and color philosophy, then expand to materials, lighting, and rendering style. Document why each choice was made so edge cases can be resolved by reasoning, and treat the guide as a living document updated through a defined change process.

How do I keep game characters visually consistent across artists?

Run silhouette readability tests at gameplay camera distance, enforce faction differentiation through color coding and shape families, and review every asset against the style guide at concept, blockout, high-poly, and final gates.

Can AI-generated images be used as final game assets?

Raw AI output should never ship directly. The Skill mandates a 5-stage pipeline with automated QA, human art direction review, in-engine integration testing, and playtest validation, and caps AI content at 30% of shipped visuals without creative director approval.

What is the 70-20-10 rule for reference boards?

Reference boards should contain 70% baseline references establishing the standard, 20% aspirational references pushing quality upward, and 10% deliberately dissonant references that provoke creative friction. Every image requires a written annotation explaining its purpose.

When should I use the art director instead of the creative director?

Use the art director for visual execution decisions like palettes, silhouettes, and asset feedback. Route vision-level questions, pillar definitions, and art style pivots to the game-creative-director, and UI layout or accessibility work to the game-ux-designer.
