Investor Demo Acceptance Gate

No packaged build should be called an investor visual MVP unless it passes the 0.1.O visual/menu acceptance gate and has a real-GPU visual QA evidence set.

Hard Fail Conditions

The build fails investor visual MVP acceptance if any of these are true:

• menus are confusing, unfocused, unclickable, or do not support predictable back/escape behavior;
• startup credits, character selection, server/join, loading, pause, save, or quit feel like gameplay is running underneath an accidental overlay;
• character art is mannequin-only or ignores the selected young-adult male/ female archetype;
• terrain still reads as flat tan placeholder ground;
• foliage, shrubs, bushes, grass, and trees are absent, unreadable, or hide gameplay-critical objects;
• water does not read as a collectable freshwater source;
• campfire, shelter, resources, pickups, or wildlife still read as primitive debug shapes or primitive debug shapes;
• the non-ray-traced Default rendering path is not visually credible;
• required visual QA screenshots or clips are missing.

Required Evidence

Before a package is marked investor visual MVP ready, capture and review the evidence listed in Docs/Ops/PackagedDemoVisualQAEvidence.md.

Required pass/fail summary:

Saved\VisualQA\InvestorDemo\<version-or-build>\visual-qa-summary.txt

The summary must record the package path, version label, rendering preset, capture method, tester, pass/fail result, visible defects, and final investor-viewing decision.
