* Write the Unreal documentation set: design, steps, ideas, decisions and specs
Rewrites the design and engineering docs of the two earlier Unity projects
(Adventurer Guild, Project Malleable) for an Unreal Engine 5 prototype that
builds and proves three things in order: a movement controller, fighting and
crafting. Neither earlier core loop is carried; their ideas are catalogued as
features with what each needs.
- Docs/Design.md: the human summary (pillars, fixed decisions, glossary)
- Docs/Steps.md: a ladder of fifteen proofs, the first six in full
- Docs/Ideas.md: salvaged ideas from both projects, none scheduled
- Docs/Decisions.md: D-01..D-36, open decisions OD-01..OD-08, deferrals
- Docs/Spec/: notation, Architecture, Movement, Interaction, Combat,
Crafting, Networking, Telemetry, UI, written as Unreal C++ skeletons
- CLAUDE.md and README.md for the repository
* Add the stat block: one attribute set on every body, every influence an effect
Every body (player, enemy, NPC) carries the same UStatBlockAttributeSet, and
every outside influence on it is a gameplay effect: base values, buffs,
debuffs, ground surfaces, carried weight, gear, being downed. Counters are
tags and attributes on the receiver: immunity blocks by tag, resistance
scales by attribute, cleanse removes by tag. Same status from several
sources: strongest wins; different statuses multiply.
- Docs/Spec/Stats.md: the block, effects and their five sources (abilities,
areas, surfaces, items, the world), stacking, counters, readers, tests
- Movement: the movement component's tagged speed-multiplier map is removed;
speed is tuning times the MoveSpeed attribute; the ground surface trace
turns mud into an effect; the gym gets mud and ice patches
- Combat: the attribute set moves to Stats; enemies and kits carry
FStatBlockDefaults; the funnel reads MagicResist and Immune.Damage tags;
taunt and mark are statuses
- Interaction: carried weight is GE_Encumbered against CarryCapacity
- Crafting: class bonuses are the WorkSpeed and WorkQuality attributes;
enchantments may grant a holder effect
- Steps: step 5 builds the block with mud, a volume and an immunity
- Decisions D-37 and D-38; design summary, CLAUDE.md, indexes, worklog
