|
|
- [ ] Viewed biome-appropriate tree reference
|
|
- [ ] Smooth lines (NOT pixelated)
|
|
- [ ] 5px thick black outlines
|
|
- [ ] Flat cel shading
|
|

|
|
## 🚀 GENERATION WORKFLOW
|
|
|
|
**For ANY new tree:**
|
|
|
|
1. **Check References:**
|
|
- Determine tree type (Oak, Pine, Palm, Dead)
|
|
- View corresponding reference image
|
|
- Review COLOR_MASTER.md for colors
|
|
- Check BIOME_GUIDES.md for biome
|
|
|
|
2. **Determine Season:**
|
|
- Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter?
|
|
- Evergreen or deciduous?
|
|
- Plan leaf coverage/color
|
|
|
|
3. **Generate Base Tree (Summer):**
|
|
- Include "EXACT Style 32 matching /references/trees/"
|
|
- Include "Smooth lines, NOT pixel art"
|
|
- Include "5px black outlines #000000"
|
|
- Include exact hex colors
|
|
- Include "Leaf clusters, not individual leaves"
|
|
|
|
4. **Verify Match:**
|
|
- Compare to reference tree
|
|
- Check outline thickness (5px)
|
|
- Check smoothness (no pixelation)
|
|
- Check leaf cluster style
|
|
- If mismatch → Auto-reroll
|
|
|
|
5. **Generate Seasonal Variants:**
|
|
- Spring: Light green, blossoms
|
|
- Summer: Dark green, full
|
|
- Autumn: Orange/red/yellow
|
|
- Winter: Bare (or snow if evergreen)
|
|
|
|
6. **Save & Organize:**
|
|
- `assets/sprites/trees/[tree_type]_[season].png`
|
|
- Update manifest
|
|
- Document in tree registry
|
|
|
