This Week, Phase 0 Checklist
Setup Tasks
  • Download Godot 4 (Apple Silicon build)
  • Open project in Cursor, install godot-tools extension
  • Initialize Git repo from Cursor terminal
  • Install ComfyUI (MLX Apple Silicon version)
  • Download FLUX.1 model weights (quantized for Mac)
  • Port one web scene to Godot 4 scene tree
Polish Additions
  • Add film grain + vignette post-process shader
  • Era-specific color grade (LUT per time period)
  • Ambient soundscape for Era 1 (1920s jazz)
  • Particle system: cigarette smoke + dust motes
  • Gold HUD with animated era badge transition
  • NPC idle animations (looking around, adjusting hat)
Cursor Prompt Library
Player Systems
Player Controller
"In GDScript for Godot 4, create a CharacterBody3D player controller with double jump, wall slide, and coyote time. Expose all tuning vars as @export. Use a state machine enum."
NPC AI
"Write a GDScript NavMesh NPC that patrols waypoints, detects player within a range, transitions to chase, and emits alert signals to nearby NPCs. Add vision cone check."
Era Transition
"Create a GDScript autoload singleton that manages era transitions: fades to white, swaps scene, applies a ColorAdjustmentEffect resource matching the new era's color grade, and fades back in."
Visual + Audio Polish
Film Grain Shader
"Write a Godot 4 GLSL screen-space shader for animated film grain with @uniform float intensity and @uniform float speed. Apply via WorldEnvironment node."
Dialogue System
"Build a GDScript dialogue manager that reads from a JSON file with branching trees, displays speech bubbles above NPCs, and handles player choices via buttons with signal emissions."
Procedural Props
"Write a tool script in GDScript that places prop scenes from res://props/ randomly within defined bounds on a NavMesh surface, avoiding overlap, seeded by an @export int seed."
