Aetherbound Guild: Screen And State Map

Authority: complete player-facing navigation, screen purposes, major states, onboarding surfaces, and chapter-specific presentation coverage.

Stage: pre-production design. This document specifies presentation; it does not claim an implemented or human-understood interface.

1. Screen Contract

The game uses a landscape 16:9 reference canvas at 1920x1080. The minimum supported design viewport is 1280x720; the large reference is 2560x1440. Critical controls remain inside a 96 px reference safe margin on every edge. Extra-wide displays reveal more world at the sides and never stretch the HUD.

Every player-facing state must answer these questions without opening another page:

1. Where am I?
2. What changed since the previous state?
3. What is the current pressure, cost, or opportunity?
4. What is the one next action the page recommends without forcing?
5. How do I inspect the rule and how do I leave safely?

The interface is a game scene with docked instruments, not a dashboard of floating cards. Full-screen locations, characters, routes, and battle actors carry the fantasy. Panels attach to screen edges or physical in-world surfaces. Only repeated inventory entries, modal confirmations, and comparison tools use bounded cards.

2. Global Shells

2.1 Guild Shell

The Guild is a full-bleed, evolving illustrated yard. Restored services occupy physical locations and animate when active. A shallow top status rail shows the current chapter objective, Crowns, selected company readiness, and save state. A bottom destination dock contains five persistent destinations:

Yard | Company | Workshop | Records | World Map

The current destination is shown by a raised metal-and-cloth tab plus a text label. Settings is a gear icon in the top-right safe area and is never hidden in a destination overflow menu.

2.2 Expedition Shell

The route fills the world surface. A left edge expedition strip shows company, Supplies, Strain, and Command preparation. A right edge Cache strap shows secured and unsecured value. The lower band contains the selected node's threat/reward comparison and one primary commit action. Route nodes never look like generic circles: each is a miniature place silhouette with a type marker.

2.3 Battle Shell

The battlefield occupies at least 68% of the reference frame. Six allied slots sit in the left/lower half and enemy lanes in the right/upper half. HUD elements attach to actors, lanes, or screen edges; they do not form a wall over the action. At 1x speed, the visual priority is:

1. next major enemy telegraph and affected lane;
2. allied unit at greatest immediate risk;
3. legal Directive and remaining Command charges.

Pause, speed, event log, settings, Cache risk, and retreat remain available in the safe area without competing with the three priority reads.

2.4 Overlay Stack

Overlays darken but do not blur the underlying state. Only the top overlay owns input. Back/cancel closes one layer and restores prior focus. The stack order is:

base screen -> inspect drawer -> selection overlay -> review -> confirmation

No confirmation opens another confirmation. Destructive confirmation uses the full effect statement, stable target name, and a hold or second explicit input; cancel receives default focus.

5. Chapter-Specific Visual Screen Families

Each chapter requires at least three independently composed full-screen scenes. They share HUD geometry but not background composition, palette, primary prop, weather, route material, or boss silhouette.

Chapter	A Route/settlement scene	B representative battlefield	C restoration/choice scene
CHV-01A/B/C First Light, Broken Bell	Windmill basin and silent bell wave crossing farm pumps	Bright grass terraces, three wind lanes, armored scavengers bracing against dark wavefront	Clinic lamps or warning towers receive the recovered bell pulse; chosen service begins moving in Guild Yard
CHV-02A/B/C Voices in Glass	Flooded reed channels carrying visible voice ribbons toward ferry platforms	Translucent reed walls, rising water bands, delayed burst markers, recital-engine silhouette	Three ferry assemblies compare testimony; governance choice physically redirects clean water
CHV-03A/B/C The Heat We Owe	Furnace district split between mint pipes and worker heat lines	Vertical smelter lift, pressure gates, alternating hot/cool bands, ledger constructs	Foundry charter table between labor furnace and mint conduit; selected network gains stable flame
CHV-04A/B/C Leaves That Disagree	Living archive canopy with two incompatible charters growing as branches	Ink-leaf platforms where repeated action glyphs are visibly redacted	Canopy court preserves annotated disagreement or prunes a branch; the archive silhouette permanently changes
CHV-05A/B/C Two Tides, One Name	Moon-tide harbor with real and mirrored manifests traveling on separate piers	Reflective reef lanes with offset doubles, identity rim patterns, rescue beacons	Customs desk and rescue tower face the same manifest wall; chosen priority changes which lights answer
CHV-06A/B/C A Crown Made of Weather	Four floating wards orbiting the storm's calm eye	Layered aerial bridges, readable gust arrows, selective anchors, parallax rotation	Public weather mechanism is handed to central or rotating stewardship; ward paths visibly reorganize
CHV-07A/B/C The Market Beneath Names	Descending market ring with deliberately blank registry fields paired with living owners	Intimate lantern platforms, false-safe telegraphs, memory-map cords, relational tells	Anonymous maintainers decide reveal/protection at a circular registry; no person is rendered as an erased silhouette
CHV-08A/B/C A Concord of Many	Seven consequence rooms converging on the First Junction	Multi-region battlefield where three linked telegraphs require visibly different roles	Public plural charter is woven from eight region materials; final guild remains a working repair yard, not a throne

Every A scene appears in WLD-002 and WLD-003, every B scene supports EXP-004, BAT-001, and BAT-002, and every C scene supports WRK-006 and RES-005. Boss confrontations add a unique boss layer to the chapter's B scene rather than replacing it with an unrelated arena.

6. Common Component States

Every actionable component implements the same semantic states. A screen cannot invent a sixth meaning for disabled or selected.

State	Visual and text contract	Input result
Available	full silhouette, action verb, cost/effect visible	opens review or commits only when no review is required
Selected	physical raised edge, high-contrast outline, check marker	second input opens detail or confirms according to screen contract
Active	moving state marker and explicit Active label	does not restart or spend again
Unaffordable	required value and current shortfall shown	inspect remains legal; commit disabled with reason
Locked	named requirement and where it can be fulfilled	inspect requirement; never silent tap
Temporarily unavailable	reason plus event/time that restores it	inspect reason; no success feedback
Complete	final result and next consequence shown	opens result/history; does not claim again
Claimed	receipt/check marker and granted result	returns original receipt on duplicate input
Recoverable error	plain cause, safe retained state, Retry/Alternate	retry receives new attempt identity where required
Blocked	external or integrity boundary and safe exit	cannot proceed; export diagnostics when relevant

7. Loading, Empty, Error, And Interruption States

• Loading longer than 300 ms shows the named operation, never a generic spinner over an apparently tappable screen.
• A content list empty because of filters shows Clear filters; genuinely undiscovered content shows its acquisition route when the design allows it.
• Network unavailability cannot block campaign play. Platform achievements and cloud work enter a bounded outbox and show local completion separately.
• Input-device change during a target or confirmation pauses selection and spends nothing.
• Backgrounding during battle saves the deterministic snapshot and returns to a resume review, not directly into a running timeline.
• A stale preview is rejected before cost. The updated preview highlights the exact value, target, or rule that changed.
• Fatal content/ruleset mismatch returns to Campaign Slots with diagnostic export. It never offers to continue into a partially loaded campaign.

8. Onboarding Surface Map

The first 20 minutes use the normal screens with temporary teaching layers. No separate tutorial UI is allowed to teach a control that looks different later.

Time	Base screen	Teaching layer	Removal condition
0:00-0:30	GLD-005	highlights one Front slot and its protected Rear relation	valid tap-select/tap-destination placement
0:30-2:00	BAT-001/002	freezes at first intercept and labels source, protector, result	player opens or dismisses cause chain
2:00-4:00	EXP-004 + GLD-009/008	presents guard-item and interrupt-skill counters side by side	either legal plan confirmed
4:00-7:00	BAT-002	no answer highlight; event log records changed first failure point	variant resolved or free training reset chosen
7:00-10:00	EXP-003/009	brackets reward, Unsecured Cache, and Anchor distance	player reviews and commits route risk
10:00-14:00	BAT-005/006/007	one legal Directive path plus preserved-charge comparison	Directive result or explained preserved charge
14:00-18:00	EXP-006/005	compares Supply recovery and reserve rotation	one reviewed option committed
18:00-20:00	EXP-002..010	objective pin remains; all action highlights removed	player completes node and names next pressure

After two failed independent attempts, RES-002 offers the same-seed training replay with no rewards. It explains the first preventable event but does not equip or choose the answer.

9. Responsive And Accessibility Matrix

Every screen family must be designed and later captured at:

Axis	Required states
Viewport	1280x720, 1920x1080, 2560x1440; extra-wide reveal policy
Language	English, Simplified Chinese, longest localized string fixture
Scale	100%, 115%, 130% UI/text
Input	touch-only, mouse/keyboard, controller; focus indicator always visible
Motion	normal, reduced motion, reduced flashes, camera shake 0
Audio	normal, master mute, captions-only, mono-compatible information cues
Power	normal and low-power without changing simulation or decision timing
Vision	standard and high contrast; no state relies only on hue

At 130%, secondary prose may move into an inspect drawer, but cost, state, consequence, objective, and primary action remain in the first viewport. The battle event log becomes a full-screen linear overlay at 130% instead of shrinking the battlefield into an unreadable remainder.

10. Coverage Gate

The presentation package is incomplete until:

• every ID in Section 4 has one canonical layout and all listed variants;
• all 24 CHV scene families have a visual board or prototype frame;
• opening, first action, first choice, pressure, failure, recovery, reward, transformation, ending, and Second Weave are visible at actual landscape play size;
• every action has available, locked/unavailable, selected, committed, and duplicate/retry behavior where applicable;
• navigation is proven with touch, keyboard/mouse, and controller semantics;
• English, zh_CN, 130%, reduced-motion, mute/captions, and low-power layouts are represented;
• the interactive prototype can complete the first 20-minute flow as a compressed click path without unexplained dead controls.

This gate proves specification coverage only. Human visual quality, comprehension, fun, device behavior, and release acceptance remain open.
