v1–v2 / Establishing the asset language

The first output defined core states, Makers, Tools, Gifts, UI icons and FX families. Coverage mattered more than a unified silhouette or world semantics, and several objects still resembled generic science-fiction symbols.

v3 / SNES INK8

v3 locked an eight-color tendency, coarse master texels and the star-workshop proposal. Abstract modules began turning into readable objects. Separate Maker and icon sheets checked motion phase and static silhouette.

v4 / EPIC DIORAMA

v4 changed isolated icons into a world:

• Core expanded to 160×160 with an idle loop.
• Six Maker families occupied visible orbits and workshop displays.
• Directional dithering gave buildings, rockets and satellites material structure.
• fx_tap / grow / loop integrated with runtime pages.

v5 / CONSOLE-RGB16 OUTLINED RELIC

v5 became the web visual golden version:

• Up to 16 colors with saturated classic red, yellow and blue.
• Continuous 2 px dark outlines and blue inner edges.
• Material-direction dithering rather than uniform noise.
• Active/owned states reduced to corner marks instead of covering silhouettes.
• CJK bitmap fixes for proportions, title shadows and shell consistency.

v6 / OLED DEVICE

v6 added a six-frame sleeping core, settings icons and more CJK glyphs for a real device. Assets now had to survive RGB565, binary packing, PSRAM budgets and physical bezel clearance.

Late improvement did not mean adding frames. Every frame needed a legible black/RGB565 silhouette and correct swept bounds for sparse tails under partial refresh.
