RECORDANDRONCO/VISION.md
type-two 8945a6a06b Creative direction: sound as territory, VISION.md, keyart, needle-drop launch 
Signature mechanic — auras make sound physical:
 * In The Mix (MRP): allied units within 5 cells of an Amp Stack get +25%
   firepower, pink note decoration. Amp placement is now forward strategy.
 * Low Latency (Stream): allied units within 5 cells of an Edge Node move 30%
   faster, blue chevron decoration. The datacentre build-radius creep now has a
   combat identity to match the lore.
Pure YAML: ProximityExternalCondition -> ExternalCondition + multipliers.

Also: VISION.md (five pillars, one page), THE DROP/SHUFFLE launches now play a
procedural vinyl needle-drop crackle (33rpm rumble + dust pops), and generated
cinematic keyart wired into the loadscreen stripe.

VINYLGOD — creative direction

One page. If a change fights these pillars, the change is wrong.

The fantasy

You are fighting a war over whether music gets to be a thing you hold. Every match is a loudness war made literal.

Pillars

1. Loud is strong. Sound is territory. MRP units fight harder In The Mix (within earshot of an Amp Stack, +25% firepower). Stream units run Low Latency near an Edge Node (+30% speed). Forward speaker placement is forward strategy. Any new mechanic should ask: does this make sound more physical?

2. The ground remembers. Wax seeps regrow the fields. Explosions scar the asphalt. Groove-etched ground marks where the Black Wax surfaced. Battles should leave the map looking played, like a record collects crackle.

3. Everything is a record. Weapons are thrown 45s, rotors are LPs, the superweapon is a tonearm. If an asset could belong in a generic sci-fi RTS, redesign it until it couldn't.

4. The Party is loud; the Stream is polite. MRP: rust, hot pink, gaffer tape, warm voices, drums. Stream: seamless white, ring lights, customer-service menace, no corners. MRP text shouts. Stream text apologises while it deletes you. Never swap these voices.

5. Real stakes, cartoon delivery. Music is being erased forever — and the robots are having the time of their lives defending it. No grimdark. Loss lines hurt ("THE NEEDLE HAS LIFTED"), win lines are needle-drops.

Hard rules (inherited, non-negotiable)

  • 100% original content, generated locally, provenance logged in assets_src/PROMPTS.md. No EA anything. GPL v3 everything.
  • Balance claims require a 5-match arena series (MEGAPLAN §5b), not vibes.
  • Verify with tools/smoketest.sh — a live process is not a passing game.
