What problem does it solve?
Provides a single, authoritative game concept and high-level design vision for Saltglass Steppe to ensure feature decisions, scope choices, and new work stay aligned with the project's core mechanics and narrative identity.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Canonical Concept Source: Defines the world premise, core gameplay loop, signature mechanics (glass storms), progression systems, factions, and sample quests to guide design and development.
- Design & Scope Guidance: Helps writers, designers, and engineers evaluate whether proposed features preserve TUI constraints, deterministic systems, and narrative tone.
- Onboarding and Review Tool: Use for design reviews, roadmap prioritization, creating vertical slices, and ensuring emergent systems (storms, refraction adaptations, factions) integrate coherently.
Quick Start
Summarize how a proposed feature aligns with the Saltglass Steppe game concept and propose concrete changes to preserve core mechanics and player-facing clarity.
