Question#
Which inspiration workflow ships first among character, environment, world, camera, narrative, sound, and mechanic systems?
Recommendation#
Character-system inspiration first: it has the strongest persona pull (§6.4), the richest existing domain knowledge (Aglaea costume/fashion + Hathor character function), and it exercises the full pin-region → typed-link → principle → original-concept → decision chain (YSD-22009..22013) on still images and film frames without waiting for game-study or audio maturity. Environment/world second; camera/narrative/sound/mechanic follow. To be validated against user research and prototype evidence as YSD-0138 requires before final approval.
Options considered#
- Camera-first — strong candidate for filmmakers but exercises fewer graph/concept features at launch.
- Mechanic-first — depends on Phase-4 game study.
Consequences#
- Section 13 inspiration items sequence accordingly.
