LANE7: four workplaces, built from data
Office.gd is gone. Floorplan.gd consumes a spec Dictionary — bounds, palette, walls
with doors and glazing styles, window runs with mullions and blinds, ceiling style,
light grid and style, slabs, static props, desk clusters, chairs, level-specific
smashables and spawn — and Levels.gd holds four of them.
Making this data rather than four subclasses means a site is authorable in minutes,
levels can be diffed, and a real generator can later emit the same structure (a BSP
split of the footprint -> rooms -> doors on shared walls -> fittings by room type).
That was the actual answer to "can we use this git to generate plans": the repo John
found is OpenSCAD SVG->STL for 3D printing, with no generation, no plan parsing, no
room polygons and GPL-3.0, so it can't help — but Office.gd was already most of a
parametric plan builder, and lifting its numbers out is the real path.
The four sites are deliberately not reskins; they differ in the three things a player
actually reads — palette, light, and what the walls are made of:
SCRANTON magnolia, grey carpet, drop ceiling, fluorescent troffers, daylight
down one glazed wall. The baseline.
PAWNEE civic beige and blue-grey, low partitions everywhere, a public
counter, pinboards. Municipal and over-partitioned.
THE INCUBATOR timber floor, white walls, 3 m ceiling, PENDANT lights, glass wall
onto a pool. Nobody has an office; they work at a dining table.
SUB-LEVEL 4 concrete, NO windows at all, exposed services, bare strip lights, a
wall of server racks. The light is green and everything is junk.
L cycles sites in-game; _load_level tears down the shell, rebuilds, re-registers task
stations and re-arms the shift.
tools/gen_level_props.py adds ten more procedural props. The filing cabinet is the
important one: it exports as a CARCASS plus a separate DRAWER, each with its own
floor-centre origin, so the Gauntlet can pull a drawer out as its own rigid body and
spill the files. Also file folder, desk phone, guillotine, shredder, server rack,
sofa, wastebin, stapler.
dev/probe_levels.gd builds every level and reports residual motion after a full
second. All four read 0.00 m/s.

LANE7: CUBICLE HELL — the tilt loop, the job, and the payslip
The game stopped being a smash sandbox. You work a shift, the work provokes you, a
meter fills, you snap, and you cannot go back to your desk until you have broken
enough things. Then you sit back down and try to earn the rest of your day.
The score is your payslip: WAGES (tasks completed) - DAMAGES (everything you broke).
The load-bearing detail is that rage drains a FLAT amount per object destroyed while
each object bills at its OWN value — so during a meltdown the play is to wreck a lot
of cheap rubbish fast rather than put the sledgehammer through a filing cabinet. You
don't choose whether you lose your temper, you choose how much it costs. FURY (objects
broken while melting down) is tracked separately and deliberately isn't money, so
"I ended the shift owing them $2,400" stays a brag.
Rage.gd — WORKING -> MELTDOWN -> COOLDOWN. During a meltdown the clock STALLS if you
stop destroying; you must actually be breaking things.
RageOverlay.gd — the blood vessel. A vignette that closes in with rage and jumps
inward on every heartbeat, procedural veins that creep further into frame the angrier
you get, and a synthesized lub-dub going 62 -> 172 BPM. Zero assets: the shader is
built in code, the veins are draw_polyline from a seeded RNG, the heartbeat is a
generated WAV. Tops out as a heavy frame rather than a red screen — you have to be
able to see what you're about to destroy.
Tasks.gd — stations you walk to and are LOCKED IN PLACE at, because you're at your
desk and that's the joke. Two so far:
SPREADSHEET the selected cell silently drifts one cell partway through entry, with
no sound and no animation. Commit without noticing and the figure lands
in the wrong cell and you start again. This is the whole thesis of the
game in about forty lines.
PHOTOCOPIER jams, and wants the right tray out of 1, 2, 2A, 3, 3B.
Snapping ejects you from the station at no penalty — you didn't choose to walk away.
CubicleHell.gd — 5-minute shift, wages vs damages, meltdown count, end-of-shift
payslip with a verdict line.
Also: HUD gets a monospace face (Godot's fallback is proportional, so the spreadsheet
grid and the work-order docket never lined up), and the arcade HUD's headline becomes
net pay, red when negative.
LANES/LANE7-cubicle-hell.md captures the rest of the design: more provocations, the
GAUNTLET mode (find which of many cabinets, pull drawers, destroy files individually,
and work out which tool the level wants without being told), the other three
workplaces, and why doratracyer/floor_plan can't help — it's OpenSCAD SVG->STL for
3D printing, no generation, no room polygons, GPL-3.0. Office.gd is already most of
a parametric floor-plan builder; lifting its numbers into a data spec is the real path.
