Vertical Slice Asset Pack

Overview

Orchestrates a coherent first-slice asset set instead of isolated candidates.

When to Use

• When generating first playable art candidates.
• When checking coverage of core prototype visuals.
• When making a batch that must feel like one game.

Default Pack

• protagonist
• 1 melee weapon module
• 2 ranged weapon modules
• 1 room-local gadget
• 3 common enemies
• 1 elite variant
• 1 boss
• 1 inherited ability
• room kit sample
• UI/HUD icons
• core VFX set
• material samples

Process

1. Create pack-level art brief.
2. Plan 1–2 lineages.
3. Route style kits for each asset.
4. Run gacha sessions per asset type.
5. Score and shortlist with shared taste criteria.
6. Write pack manifest and metadata.
7. Promote only coherent candidates to Godot prep.

Verification Checklist

• Pack covers gameplay-critical visuals
• Assets share main art DNA without becoming samey
• Boss and inherited ability share lineage
• UI/VFX/room kit support first impression
• Metadata and shortlist exist
