Create an index README in docs/ and every tracked docs subfolder, with relative
image galleries for Blender previews, screen designs, screenshots and concepts.
Generated realism-run READMEs were also created on disk but remain gitignored.
Validate all Markdown/image links.
assets/images/ is now the runtime root for composed interface/scene art:
ui/ for screen and panel art, scenes/ for full-frame scene art. Tiled PBR
textures remain under assets/textures/; docs/screens/designs and concepts stay
reference-only; QA captures stay under docs/screenshots. Mockups that become
runtime art are copied/processed with a new name (no overwrites) and always
have a code fallback.
Records the convention in MEMORY, adds ADR-0014 to the architecture index, and
closes the first storage-restructure TODO item.
Phase 4 of the v0.6.0 graphics plan:
- tools/bake_ao.py bakes 256² AO maps for every Blender character/gear/prop
(Cycles, existing UVs) next to each GLB; Materials.apply_ao() wires the red
channel into character slots, gear, and props. Compatibility has no SSAO.
- Regenerated brick/concrete/asphalt at 1024² with OpenRouter, derived tangent
normal maps via tools/make_normal_maps.py, and wired them through
SurfaceMaterials.textured() without changing UV scales.
- Evaluated Forward+: boots on desktop Vulkan, but the renderer is project-wide
and Web must stay GL Compatibility; v0.6.0 keeps Compatibility (decision in
MEMORY/plan). A desktop-only override is deferred.
- Recaptured screenshots; compare 11 good / 0 bad. Fixed marquee text alignment.
- Tests: baked AO maps exist for all 46 assets; prop/character AO material
checks; headless 222/222, Python 69/69, all smokes pass.
- Version 0.6.0; ADR-0013 accepted; README/architecture/blender-assets/plan and
TODO/DONE updated.
Rendering and presentation
- Shared surface-material module (src/game/materials.gd) with per-surface
roughness/metallic/uv profiles; ACES tonemapping, glow, fog and phase-driven sky
energy. WorldBuilder rebuilt on those profiles with facade windows that light up,
door trim/handles, curb, lane dashes, bollards, bench, bin and planter foliage.
- NPC silhouettes: per-role clothing palettes, caps/hoods/backpacks/sunglasses,
hands and shoes, arm/leg walk swing.
- Six generated low-poly GLB props (bollards, bench, bin, planter, newspaper box,
hydrant) built by tools/model_pipeline.py, loaded by WorldBuilder with a
procedural fallback; ADR-0012.
Selection and movement
- Focus ranking by view angle then distance (NpcFocus.rank_indices); Tab and the
mouse wheel cycle nearby people initially, right click clears focus with a
re-acquire grace, HUD shows the candidate count, Shift walks at half speed.
ADR-0011. Windowed smoke extended to cover wheel cycling and clearing.
QA tooling
- screen_designs.py catalogue grown to 19 screens (8 scene, 11 UI) plus a `list`
subcommand; draft generation keeps existing AI references unless --force.
Web export
- New Web preset using the non-threaded Godot template (static hosting, no
COOP/COEP). tools/build_releases.sh exports build/web and packages
build/step-line-web-<ver>.zip; publish_release.sh uploads it with the desktop
artifacts. test_web_export.gd covers the preset and release wiring.
Verification
- Headless suite 177 -> 181, Python tooling 53 tests, all eight smokes pass
(including the windowed focus/wheel smoke). Web bundle serves index.html,
index.wasm (35 MB) and index.pck (30 MB) with HTTP 200 from a static server.
- Version 0.3.0; README, PLAN, RELEASING, TODO/DONE and MEMORY updated.
Tag builds since v0.2.2 built all artifacts but never published a release:
- tools/publish_release.sh only assembled AUTH in the GITEA_TOKEN branch; the
~/.git-credentials branch set CRED and then used an unbound ${AUTH[@]} under
`set -u`, so every API call failed and the job ended "could not create or find
release". It now sets AUTH=(-u "$CRED").
- The repo has no GITEA_TOKEN secret and the runner has no git credentials, so the
workflow now falls back to the built-in workflow token:
GITEA_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITEA_TOKEN || github.token }}.
v0.2.9 was then built and published locally with all five artifacts (portable
Linux/Windows/macOS, NSIS installer, AppImage) and the release page verified via
the API. v0.2.4-v0.2.8 remain unpublished; they are superseded by the latest.
Docs
- docs/RELEASING.md records the incident and the local-publish fallback.
- TODO gains a release-pipeline follow-up (verify CI on the next tag).
- MEMORY notes the root cause, the missing secret, and which releases exist.
- Version 0.2.10.
- 0007: input layers so WASD/look never fire person-verbs; freeze while modal
- 0008: cone focus + billboarded head ring; no type names in the world
- 0009: doughnut action menu (LMB/Space open, click or A/D then Space, Esc/RMB
cancel); emergency stays on R
- 0010: keep procedural rigs, add face/hair/neck; no Mixamo this pass
Linked from architecture.md, PLAN.md, TODO.md, MEMORY.md.
- Introduced README.md outlining game concept, mechanics, and planned venues.
- Added ADRs for venue-driven architecture, de-escalation-first model, explicit access verification, local single-player focus, event-based incident recording, and choice of Godot 4 with GDScript.
