Habitat
A working style guide for shapes, surfaces and the things that make a village.
Four selected references, with their original dates and sources.
A small, simple hut in warm timber and clay. This exact asset was approved for integration; it does not select a palette for the whole world.
The village on 15 October 2026. Use it to compare scale and context. More depth is still a goal; existing farm-pack elements are third-party assets.
Rounded foliage, a visible trunk and broad matte color groups. Shape and palette remain open for review.
A smaller relative in the same tree family. A studio render does not establish Unity wind, collision or performance.
Original assets should feel like neighbors: related shapes, materials and scale, with more graphical depth. The final palette, resident proportions and detail level remain open.
The hut is an approved individual asset. Gameplay shows what exists; the trees are candidates. Earlier room concepts remain exploratory.
Existing material RGB values, inspected 16 October 2026. These are source swatches, not lit screenshot colors or a final approved palette.
#eedec0#b96c52#815b49#72a375#a1c185#8c7052#e4b65d#bcc6adStart with large, softened forms. Check the silhouette at village distance, beside residents and doors.
Warm, mostly matte color groups are a provisional starting point. More depth does not automatically mean realistic microdetail.
Make one clean asset at metre scale with a ground-level pivot. Unity handles placement, clusters and size variation.
Keep residents recognizable. New proportions and character animation need their own brief.
Compare shape, scale, materials and detail beside the references. Check visual fit and technical import separately.
Retain editable originals, textures and provenance. Set geometry and texture budgets for the actual camera and platform.
Name its purpose, reference and status, silhouette, dimensions, materials, delivery format and motion scope. Choose limits for that asset; no universal polygon or texture budget is settled.
Compare simple matte crowns with denser textured foliage. Neither candidate defines the global style yet.
Public edition of the asset art bible and design board · 16 October 2026. Original evidence keeps its historical status; later approval of the hut does not rewrite its capture record.
