Rebuild the camera around a single persistent MainCamera and the Camera System design-doc model: two framing modes (Orbit = inspection/ docked tactical, Follow = track the ship) plus Cinematic as a boolean overlay (free rotation + HUD hide + live gameplay), not a third mode. Critical fixes (gap analysis A1-A3): - A1: scenes now *reconfigure* the one startup camera instead of spawning a second one; despawn_in_system_scene no longer destroys MainCamera, so the session never loses its camera. .single_mut() on MainCamera now succeeds during flight. - A2: Cinematic is a real overlay — toggle (KeyC), free-look rotation in any framing, HUD hidden while active, gameplay keeps running. - A3: removed dead FollowCamera component + setup_follow_camera; tracking is unified in track_camera_target. Gaps B1-B6: - B1: adopted doc model (Cinematic overlay, not exclusive mode). - B2: canonical isometric tactical_rotation() baseline. - B3: smooth reframing via OrbitFocusGoal exponential-damp tween. - B4: non-zero CameraState defaults. - B5: consolidated the three orbit-control impls into one (dropped the starting_base local control + its Euler variant). - B6: track_camera_target keeps OrbitCamera.target synced to the focus entity every frame. Docked view now frames the actual station at a tactical iso distance. cargo check + clippy clean for all newly-authored code; net -10 lines (more dead code removed than added). 42 tests pass.
VOID::NAV
A single-player narrative-driven space exploration experience where you author your own mini-series. Inspired by Windward's open-world freedom, Stellaris's strategic depth, and AI-generated storytelling in the style of The Templin Institute. Every campaign generates a unique tale of exploration, commerce, diplomacy, and conquest.
You are a young captain with an entire galaxy to explore—and a story to write. Every campaign features a unique, procedurally generated galaxy. Trade between stations, broker alliances between factions, wage war or maintain peace, and watch as the AI Story Director weaves your choices into an evolving narrative. Prefer a quieter life? Simply sail the stars and let your story unfold.
Conflict occurs through FTL-style tactical resource management—not dogfighting. When combat happens, it's a dramatic beat in your story. Click a hostile, your ship auto-engages, and you manage reactor power between Weapons / Shields / Engines / Auxiliary. The skill is in what you power and when, not how fast you click. But combat is a feature, not the focus.
VOID::NAV is a pnpm workspace monorepo for the game website, living design docs, and game client. V1 focuses on single-player emergent storytelling with local persistence and AI-driven narrative generation.
Core Pillars
| Pillar | Description |
|---|---|
| AI Story Director | Emergent narrative generation tracks your choices, alliances, conflicts, and discoveries. The AI weaves your actions into an ongoing saga. V1: real-time emergent storytelling. Future: episodic mini-series generation. |
| Exploration & Discovery | Procedurally generated galaxy with fog of war. Discover anomalies, derelicts, new factions. Every discovery becomes part of your story. |
| Trade & Diplomacy | Stellaris-inspired economic and political systems. Supply factions, broker alliances, negotiate borders. Commerce and conversation are equally viable paths. |
| Ship Customization | Your ship is your narrative vessel. Customize for trade, exploration, or conflict. Multiple classes from nimble scouts to powerful cruisers. |
| Dynamic Galaxy | Your actions shape both the world AND the story. Faction relations, territory control, and world events evolve through your choices. |
| Solo Adventure | A personal galaxy to explore at your own pace. Your story, your pace. The architecture supports optional co-op servers later. |
