v1.2 · PHASE 2.A
2026-05-15
cleanup
Hero glitch · light-mode pass · changelog + manifesto
Closing the four items deferred from earlier cycles. Hero's BREAK step now actually glitches; light mode reviewed end-to-end; the two dead footer links (Changelog, Manifesto) get real destinations.
- +
Hero BREAK glitch tuned. Added scanline pulse on portrait, RGB-split + flicker on body text, faint horizontal sweep, 1px x-axis jitter. Wrapped in prefers-reduced-motion.
- +
Light mode pass. Reviewed hero, anim panel, hooks tabs, Korean section, pricing, FAQ, footer at .theme-light. No structural fixes needed — all surfaces honor token swap. AA contrast verified on accent green (#1A8B5A on cream).
- +
changelog.html — this file. Footer link no longer dead.
- +
manifesto.html — voice statement, EN + KR. Footer link no longer dead.

handoff
Tokens handoff · CSS + Tailwind 4 + JS config
Production design token contract. One source of truth (tokens.css), two consumers (vanilla CSS, Tailwind 4 @theme inline), JS config as fallback.
- +
assets/tokens.css — 14 color · 9 type sizes · 10 spacing · radii · motion · effects. Light mode is a class flip on the same variable names.
- +
assets/app.css — Tailwind 4 entry. @import "./tokens.css" + @theme inline binds every var to a utility namespace. No rebuild on theme switch.
- +
assets/tailwind.config.js — 1:1 JS fallback for tools that need a config object. Kept in lock-step with tokens.css manually (no codegen — manual review is the safety net).
- +
tokens.html — handoff doc: file previews, live palette, Tailwind↔vanilla parity, cheat sheet, six usage rules.

store
Store thumbnails · Asset Library + itch.io
Two surfaces, two conventions. Asset Library = tier name + Free/Paid pill, no price (matches the listing's own price chrome). itch.io = price headline + post-launch note in a badge bar (commerce platform, price is the message).
- +
3 Asset Library 660×440 PNGs — Core (green FREE), Hooks (amber PAID), Plus (violet PAID).
- +
3 itch.io 630×500 PNGs — Core $0 with green "FREE NOW · FREE FOREVER · MIT" badge swap; Hooks $49 / Plus $69 with amber "PRICES RISE AFTER STEAM LAUNCH" badge.
- +
Each asset is reachable as a solo URL store.html?solo=al-core at exact pixel size for OS screenshot export.

2026-05-13
social
Social assets · OG + Twitter + Discord
CRT green single tone (amber / light variants deferred to post-launch). OG and Twitter run distinct compositions on purpose — OG is product card, Twitter leads with the meta-fiction beat. Discord is square + circle-safe.
- +
OG 1200×630 — Lockup A + H1 + sub + frozen REWRITE step + real text_corrupt JSON block.
- +
Twitter 1200×628 — "Your player finished skipped the tutorial. Your game noticed." headline.
- +
Discord 512×512 — Lockup B stacked in 410×410 safe-ring; survives both rounded-square (active) and circle (inactive) crops.
- +
Solo capture URLs + bulk DevTools snippet + og: / twitter: head tags.

logo
Logo export · 8 SVG masters
Three canonical masters (color · mono black · mono white) plus five derivative SVGs hand-tuned for small sizes and platform icons. No bitmaps shipped — bitmap exports come from these SVGs at build time.
- +
Canonical: logo-mark-color.svg. Mono: logo-mark-mono-black.svg, logo-mark-mono-white.svg.
- +
Favicon: favicon-32.svg (stroke +50%, fragments removed), favicon-16.svg (16×16 native grid, shapeRendering=crispEdges).
- +
Platform: apple-touch-icon.svg (180), icon-192.svg, icon-512.svg (PWA + iOS, dark bg + inset).
- +
HTML head snippet + site.webmanifest + ImageMagick one-liner for .ico/.png generation.

system
Brand system v1.0
First system reference doc. Locks every visual decision from logo through voice into a single page that future cycles cite by section number.
- +
6 sections: Logo (lockups + construction + don'ts), Color (dark + light palettes + token table), Type (4 families + scale), Spacing (4-base + layout), Components (buttons / pills / kickers / code), Voice (6-axis matrix + EN/KR examples + 6 rules).
- +
Donts grid established: no both-strokes-accent, no exaggerated tilt, no gradient on accent, no letters inside frame.
v0.6 · LANDING
2026-05-10 → 11
5 cycles
Landing iterations · brief alignment
Five rounds against the working brief and the live registry. Each round closed a specific reality gap.
- +
Real schema applied. Hero anim + all hooks cards use registry block names. No invented JSON.
- +
30 → 35 hooks. Core 13 + Hooks 8 + Plus 14 from scripts/meta/{core,tier_a,tier_b}/*_registry.gd. "Over 30" copy across 7 places. Plus tab shows 8 by default, "Show all 14" toggle for the rest.
- +
Pricing canon restored. Free / $49 / $69 (post-launch $69 / $149). Studio $299/yr removed entirely.
- +
Dialogic 2 signal strengthened. Hero sticker pill (violet) + post-Pricing companion banner with self-designed bracket mark.
- +
Hero 6/6 CHOICE overlap fix. Refactored .hero-anim to 3-row grid; .anim-controls moved out of .dialog-stage with own border + z-index 10. Cache-busted via ?v=4.
- +
Mobile ≤640px breakpoint. 10 surfaces re-tuned: hero h1 44px, nav links collapsed, hooks 1-col with 9.5px code, pricing 1-col, FAQ 2-col grid, footer 2x2 stack.
- +
Lint-style cleanup: footer Buy column updated to $49/$69 (Studio removed), FAQ #4 wording, FAQ #3 hook names corrected (no more narrator_reactivity), Korean signal 03 swapped locale_aware → text_i18n.
- ×
Removed: "shipping with parabreak" fake game references row → swapped for honest "compatibility" row (Godot 4.x · Dialogic 2 · MIT · platforms · early-access partner).
v0.5 · LOGO LOCK
2026-05-09
decision
Hybrid lockup locked
Five concepts narrowed to one direction. 04 "Broken Frame" mark + 01 "bracket-break" wordmark hybrid — same motif on two surfaces. The corner of the frame and the word break do the same thing.
- +
Geometry locked: viewBox 100×100, stroke 6u, square caps, miter joins, break-segment offset +8 / −4, rotation −3°, break-y 56u, clear-space 6u.
- +
Lockup A (horizontal · primary), Lockup B (stacked · square placements), section dividers + stickers from the cut 04 wordmark (repurposed, not deleted).
- ×
Rejected: 04's standalone wordmark (para white + break green) — too simple a color split, fails anti-slop rule. Kept only as section dividers.
v0.1 · INTAKE
2026-05-08
brief
Brief intake · operating rules
Working brief received. Phase 1 decisions captured: dark CRT phosphor green main + light mode via Tweaks, H1 = "The meta engine for Godot.", hero animation = dialogue self-edit, anti-slop strictness = standard, Korean weight = single section (현재 브리프대로).
- +
9 operating rules set: trademark avoidance, no Dialogic logo replication, registry-accurate JSON only, Korean as own copy (not translation), price honesty, etc.
- +
Tone slider: 40/100 (just past restrained dev-tool, well short of full Inscryption).
