Scene ID: scene.ruby-expedition-yard Purpose: Turn readiness, logistics, rescue, and execution into cooperative play rather than combat spectacle.

Concept#

eastern work shore, boat sheds, weather towers and open channel. The organizing form is readiness circle; the Scene remains a beautiful inhabited place with or without overlays. It inherits the Kiduna isometric constitution: 2:1 projection, environmental illumination, tactile materials, living edges, contextual embodiment, stable anchors, and state expressed through the world before labels.

Functional layout#

readiness circle — primary orientation and action zone.
equipment racks — secondary work or relationship zone.
vehicle bay — bounded supporting Area with its own semantic focus path.
rescue pool — bounded supporting Area with its own semantic focus path.
departure gate — bounded supporting Area with its own semantic focus path.

Isometric composition and background#

Dark near-frame architecture or vegetation guides Attention toward one inhabited center.
The background is a full Component: eastern work shore, boat sheds, weather towers and open channel.
At least two physical continuations meet foreground Terrain through architecture, path, vegetation, shadow, water, or haze.
Technical tiles overlap 12–24 px at 1× and never announce a square grid.

Population and framing#

Solo: every required Action has an Actor/Ally or asynchronous alternative.
Local range: 1–64 visible participants before Area sharding or constellation aggregation.
Desktop: 16:9 composition with the organizing form intact and 15% Overlay reserve.
Mobile: focus-following portrait crop, persistent orientation landmark, and semantic route sheet.
Large population: canonical Scene state is shared; presence, conversation, and high-frequency interaction are sharded by Area. No global crowd blocks the interaction path.
