This directory contains the complete, consolidated documentation for all Edge Craft development phases. Each phase is documented in a single source-of-truth file with complete Definition of Ready (DoR) and Definition of Done (DoD).
Status: ✅ COMPLETE (100% - 99.5% DoD compliance) Duration: 6 weeks | Budget: $30,000 | Team: 2 developers Completion Date: 2025-10-10
What Was Delivered:
- ✅ Babylon.js rendering engine @ 60 FPS (58 FPS avg, 55 FPS min)
- ✅ Advanced terrain system (multi-texture, 4-level LOD, quadtree chunking)
- ✅ GPU instancing for 500+ units (99% draw call reduction)
- ✅ Cascaded shadow maps (3 cascades, <6ms per frame)
- ✅ W3X/SCM map loading pipeline (95% compatibility)
- ✅ Rendering optimization (187 draw calls, 1842 MB memory)
- ✅ Automated legal compliance pipeline (100% detection)
Sub-PRPs: 1.1-1.7 (all complete) Performance: 187 draw calls, 58 FPS, 1842 MB memory, <6ms shadows Documentation: Phase 1 README
Status: 📋 Planned (Scope Validated - 8.5/10 Confidence) Duration: 2-3 weeks | Budget: $20,000 | Team: 2 developers
What It Delivers:
- Post-processing pipeline (FXAA, bloom, color grading)
- Advanced lighting system (8 dynamic lights)
- GPU particles (5,000 @ 60 FPS)
- Weather effects (rain, snow, fog)
- PBR material system
- Custom shader framework
- Decal system (50 texture decals)
- Render target system (minimap)
- Quality preset system (LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH/ULTRA)
Key Revisions (Evidence-Based):
- Particles: 50,000 → 5,000 (10x reduction)
- RTTs: 3 → 1 minimap only
- SSAO/DoF: Deferred to Phase 10
- Quality presets: Now MANDATORY
Status: 📋 Planned (Post-Phase 2) Duration: 2-3 weeks | Budget: $25,000 | Team: 2-3 developers
What It Delivers:
- Unit selection & control system
- Command & movement system
- A* pathfinding system
- Resource gathering & economy
- Building placement & construction
- Unit training & production
- Combat system prototype
- Fog of war & vision system
- Minimap system
- Basic AI opponent
- Deterministic game simulation loop
Milestone: First playable RTS prototype (gather → build → fight)
| Phase | Status | Progress | Start Date | End Date | Budget |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
