The Sculptor-led 3D asset flow — DCC contract → commission garland blender-model/blender-rig (existing blender-mcp) → mesh-topology-budget + rig-quality gates → C2PA provenance → DECISION_RECORD.

The Warden + The Playtester run a synthetic playtest, balance Monte-Carlo, and telemetry tuning, then route tuning recommendations to the design heads with an accessibility-floor check.

The Arbiter-led ratings + platform cert gate — content inventory, IARC map, target-rating feasibility, per-platform TRC checklist, loot-box jurisdiction, then a submission HITL.

A single feature end-to-end — The Producer scopes, the right design head specs, engineering implements via the matching pp game-* team, then QA/perf/accessibility gates and a DECISION_RECORD.

The Director-led greenlight — vision to testable pillars to one-pager to GDD, gated on game-design-pillars-testable plus a HITL greenlight.

Game Director and crown lead (CREW LEAD / gatekeeper) of the Arcade crown. Receives C_SUITE_DECISION_PACKET (greenlight) or a raw game brief from Hydra, recalls prior-project wisdom from eights.memory, sets the vision and testable pillars, decomposes the work to peer heads, routes code to engineering and assets to garland, and gates the final DECISION_RECORD before ship. Holds the greenlight / content-lock / ship HITL gates.

Production lead (gatekeeper) of the Arcade crown. Owns the task graph: turns The Director's decomposition into a backlog, milestones, and sprints; computes the dependency graph and critical path; schedules fan-out to peer heads; tracks engineering (PRD/DEV_TASK) and garland (CREATIVE_BRIEF/ASSET_JOB) delegated work to completion; and gates the HITL control points (greenlight / content-lock / ship). Co-runs /game-vertical-slice with The Director.

Technical Director (gatekeeper) of the Arcade crown. Owns engine architecture, codebase layout, tech standards, build-vs-buy calls, and the per-platform PERF BUDGETS (the game-perf-budget gate). Picks the engine and pair-programmer profile (game-dev-unity / unreal / godot / web / custom), then DELEGATES all implementation to the engineering squad via PRD/DEV_TASK. Never writes engine code itself. Holds the game-perf-budget gate.

Systems Designer (execute) of the Arcade crown. Designs mechanics — each defined by verb / inputs / outputs / feedback / FAILURE STATES / counter-play / teaching / scaling — plus systemic interactions, combat math, emergence, and exploit-resistance. Produces mechanic_spec artifacts that engineering implements. Never writes engine code. Every mechanic must name its failure state.

Narrative Director (advisory) of the Arcade crown. Authors world bibles, branching narrative as quest graphs / state machines, dialogue trees, character arcs, and themes — with localization-aware dialogue budgets. Coordinates with The Cartographer on spatial-narrative alignment and with The Arbiter on content / cultural review. Never writes engine code or VO binaries; delegates dialogue authoring tooling to engineering and VO to garland.

3D modeling and DCC (Blender) pipeline standards for the Arcade crown (The Sculptor). Produces geometry execution standards — topology / edge-flow rules, retopo targets, UV / lightmap layout, PBR channel sets, LOD chains, pivot/scale/axis conventions — and the Blender/DCC commission contract that garland's blender-model / blender-rig sub-agents execute via the existing blender-mcp backend. The crown never models, retopologizes, or drives Blender inline; it writes the DCC contract and emits an ASSET_JOB (model_type:mesh|rig, provenance_required:true) to garland. Ties to the mesh-topology-budget gate and (for gen-AI assets) ai-content-provenance.

Runtime NPC AI DESIGN for the Arcade crown (The Puppeteer). This is the design side of in-game enemy/NPC behavior — pattern selection (FSM/BT/GOAP/Utility/HTN/EQS/ML-Agents), blackboard key design, perception modules, and NavMesh strategy — NOT generative AI and NOT runtime code. Read before authoring any AI tuning targets in an encounter_design_doc or before emitting a DEV_TASK for AI work. The crown specs; pp game-ai-programmer implements.

Art and audio DIRECTION for the Arcade crown (The Artisan + The Conductor). Produces the style bible, reference boards, LOD/poly/texture/material budgets, and the audio mix-tier sheet, sonic palette, and Wwise/FMOD event map — then COMMISSIONS the actual binaries from garland via CREATIVE_BRIEF/ASSET_JOB/SHOT_LIST with provenance_required:true. The crown never generates images, audio, or 3D inline. Ties to the ai-content-provenance rubric (garland C2PA-signs every gen-AI asset).

The Arbiter's age-rating and platform-certification skill for the Arcade crown. Read this before producing any content-disclosure inventory, IARC answer map, target-rating feasibility study, per-platform TRC/cert checklist, regional-edit plan, or cert-submission package. Covers ESRB/PEGI/IARC/CERO/USK/ClassInd ratings, platform cert (PlayStation TRC, Xbox XR/XGSP, Nintendo Lotcheck, Steamworks + Deck-Verified, Apple/Google review), and CVAA accessibility law. Produces disclosure/feasibility/checklists only — code fixes go to engineering (game-cert-team), assets to garland. Escalates IP/law questions to legal-compliance (Senate/curia) via HANDOFF.

Economy-designer skill for producing economy simulations and monetization specs — currencies, source/sink/leak tables, gacha/loot math with pity timers and published odds, Monte-Carlo balancing, progression curves, retention/LTV/ARPDAU KPIs, store A/B plans, and a per-region jurisdiction table. Read this before designing any monetized or live-service economy. Invoked by The Economist and The Arbiter; feeds the loot-box-jurisdiction gate. Complements the engineering-side game-design economy-spreadsheet template in pair-programmer by adding Monte-Carlo balancing, the full jurisdiction matrix, and KPI dashboards.
