Agrarian Investor Demo Status
Current classification: systems-first investor prototype.
The current investor demo should not be described as an investor visual MVP. It proves the survival, persistence, multiplayer, terrain, weather, fire, shelter, menu-flow, and packaging foundations, but it remains visually below the realism bar expected for investor-facing excitement.
Visual MVP Gate
The build can be reclassified as investor visual MVP only after the 0.1.O visual/menu quality gate is complete and verified:
- menus use intentional widget-driven segments with reliable mouse, keyboard, controller focus, back, and escape behavior;
- startup credits, character selection, server/join, loading, pause, save, and quit read as separate presentation states instead of gameplay under overlays;
- young-adult male and female character choices no longer look like mannequin placeholders;
- survival objects, resource pickups, water, wildlife, shelter, and fire read as believable MVP objects rather than debug shapes;
- Ground Zero terrain, grasses, brush, shrubs, bushes, trees, rocks, water, lighting, and color variation communicate grounded coastal-scrub realism;
- non-ray-traced default/compatibility rendering remains credible on common investor, tester, and remote-session hardware;
- optional ray tracing is reserved for cinematic/high-end presentation and is never required for baseline visual credibility;
- packaged-demo visual QA screenshots or clips are captured from a real GPU desktop path before the build is called visually ready.
Current Demo Language
Use this wording until the visual gate is complete:
