Purpose of This Document¶

This document is the single source of truth for all AI-generated content prompts used in Auto Warz. Every prompt that produces an approved asset is saved here.

Prompts are assets. Losing a prompt means losing the ability to regenerate a consistent asset or produce variations. This document prevents that.

How to Use This Library¶

Adding a New Prompt¶

Generate content using a prompt
If the output is approved, add the prompt to the relevant section below
Note the tool, date, and output status
Save the generated file locally with the correct naming convention

When to Add a Prompt¶

Always add prompts for approved assets
Always add prompts for near-miss results (good but not quite right — useful for iteration)
Never add prompts for rejected outputs — they clutter the library

Iterating on a Prompt¶

When iterating on an existing prompt: - Keep the original prompt entry - Add the new version below it as v2, v3, etc. - Note what changed and why

AI Stack Quick Reference¶

Tool	Purpose	Use For
Recraft	AI image generation	All building concepts (primary workhorse)
Leonardo AI	AI image generation	Characters, alternates when Recraft misses
Vectorizer AI	Raster → SVG	UI icons, resource icons, 2D flat elements
Inkscape	Vector editing (free)	SVG cleanup, colour adjustments, icon polish
Suno / Udio	Music generation	All music tracks
ElevenLabs	SFX generation	All sound effects

3D modelling is NOT AI-generated. The art designer uses Blender to build .glb assets from approved Recraft/Leonardo concept references.

Naming Convention¶

All saved asset files follow this convention:

[tool]_[category]_[name]_v[N].[ext]

Examples:
recraft_building_mining-drill_v1.png
recraft_building_mining-drill_v2.png
leonardo_character_genesis_v1.png
vectorizer_icon_metal-ore_v1.svg
suno_music_planet-ambient_v1.mp3
elevenlabs_sfx_belt-loop_v1.wav

All approved concept references saved to:

03_Art & Audio/concepts/[category]/[filename]

All approved final game assets saved to:

res://assets/[category]/[subcategory]/[filename]

Master Style Prompts¶

These are the foundation prompts included in every generation of the relevant type. Never generate a game asset without including the relevant master prompt.

Recraft — Master Style Prompt (Primary Concept Art)¶

Status: ✅ Approved Version: v1 Date Added: 2026-03-01

cel-shaded low poly game asset, Thronefall rendering style,
sci-fi industrial building, cool steel grey and blue base colour,
[ACCENT COLOUR] accent panels, thick dark outlines,
flat colour faces no textures, hard edges,
clean rooftop detail for top-down camera view,
glowing emissive elements, dark background,
game asset concept art, no text

Notes: Replace [ACCENT COLOUR] with the category accent colour for each building. All building concept prompts append their subject-specific description after this base. Thronefall rendering style is the primary reference — cool palette, thick outlines, flat faces.

Leonardo AI — Master Style Prompt (Alternate / Characters)¶

Status: ✅ Approved Version: v1 Date Added: 2026-03-01

cel-shaded low poly 3D game asset, isometric view,
sci-fi industrial style inspired by Thronefall,
cool steel grey base, [ACCENT COLOUR] glowing accents,
thick outlines, flat shading, hard geometric edges,
top-down readable rooftop detail, emissive glow elements,
clean dark background, game-ready concept

Notes: Use when Recraft is not hitting the right style. Particularly good for Genesis character art and more expressive outputs. Replace [ACCENT COLOUR] as appropriate.

Suno / Udio — Master Music Direction¶

Status: ✅ Approved Version: v1 Date Added: 2026-02-22

Base direction for all Auto Warz music:
- Sci-fi industrial ambient
- Optimistic but slightly tense undertone
- Electronic instrumentation with organic elements
- Clean mix, not overwhelming
- Loopable (seamless loop point)
- No lyrics

Notes: Append layer-specific direction for each track type. See Music Prompts section.

ElevenLabs — Master SFX Direction¶

Status: ✅ Approved Version: v1 Date Added: 2026-02-22

Base direction for all Auto Warz sound effects:
- Mechanical, industrial character
- Sci-fi with grounded weight (not too "spacey")
- Clean transient, no reverb tail
- Mono output (stereo positioning handled in engine)
