Index of Developer Guidance

📄 Full verbatim transcripts of everything referenced below are available in /to-review-transcripts.

Purpose: A category distinct from both game lore and the real-world

business material — this holds source content that reads as process/ technical guidance for actually building the game, rather than in-universe fiction, canon facts, or fundraising material. Think: engine choices, blockchain/tech-stack decisions, monetization architecture, general game-dev best practices the creator explored — content aimed at "how do we build this" rather than "what is true within the Maf universe."

Entries

1. ChatGPT Export — "Metaverse Game Development Guide" (conversations-000.json, conv #78)

Generic step-by-step guidance for building a metaverse game: defining game concept/genre/audience, blockchain and NFT integration choices (Ethereum, Polygon, Binance Smart Chain), native in-game token/currency design, and platform choice (build from scratch with Unity/Unreal + blockchain SDKs, vs. leveraging existing platforms like Decentraland or The Sandbox). Contains no Maf-specific lore or named entities — purely real-world technical/business planning content for the actual development of the game.

2. NPC Generation Template

The reusable template/format (Name, Description, Background, 7 Motivations) used to generate the character write-ups now archived at NPC Full Profiles.

3. Planet Generation System

The procedural framework used to generate planets: category taxonomy, the 10-region distribution schedule, and the standard planet data "Header" template. Moved here from `/systems` since it's fundamentally a content-generation tool rather than a fixed in-universe fact.

4. Sample Starnations & Space Station Naming

Example/template starnations, capital cities, and a large batch of generic space station names generated as illustrative samples. Moved here from `/systems` for the same reason as the planet generation system.

5. Business/Corporation Entity Generation

Business category list and Corporation Header template, plus sample generated corporations for 11 starnations. Confirms 2020 (Maf) = 5300 AD (Earth) and the $540,000/year average income figure, matching other sources. The session's back half briefly broke down into an AI context-loss event — see To Review.

6. Scenario System & Sample Scenarios

The "Scenario" content type and its template, plus 18 sample scenarios generated for various starnations. One entry — the Viachon Empire — was already-established canon and got a major, fully-consistent detail expansion incorporated directly into Viachon Empire's page rather than staying here.

7. Planet Description Generation

A 48-attribute planet-generation system with ~46 sample planets generated. Flags a starnation-count discrepancy (542 vs. 200+, since resolved as growth over time) and a naming echo ("Luminastra" reused from the NeoMechronica set).

8. Sample Quests by Role

3 sample quests per character Role (~50 roles), plus Hunter's Ranch introduction and a 3rd instance of the unresolved "Crisis at Icebound Station" question.
