Rephrased — team context reference¶

This document is descriptive, not a fictional persona prompt. ChatGPT should treat it as factual grounding when attached to a Project.

Summary facts¶

Working title: Rephrased — USC Advanced Games Project cohort vertical slice.
Engine: Unreal Engine 5.8 (see EngineAssociation inside Rephrased_Demo.uproject).
Primary gameplay hook: third-person exploration with language/rune manipulation puzzles, supporting narrative and camera-driven presentation (detailed design references live in MkDocs under Design tabs).
Technical depth: custom C++ module Rephrased_Demo (Source/Rephrased_Demo). Blueprint and data-asset layers coordinate designers without replacing core systems.

The internal wiki (MkDocs + Obsidian sources under Rephrased Wiki/wiki/) is authoritative for:

System architecture (rune stack, camera zones, memory palace scaffolding, etc.).
Planned versus implemented status flags on individual pages.
Experiment logs linked from Engineering → Devlogs.

If the model lacks a pasted excerpt, explicitly state uncertainty instead of inventing filenames, class names, or Blueprint paths.

Programming + technical design: follow Setup → VS and Unreal (wiki/Engineering/DeveloperSetup.md) for toolchain truth.
Creative disciplines: read Discipline-Brief.md in the ChatGPT Project bundle plus Design/Art tabs when available.

The repository contains proprietary coursework assets. Do not encourage exporting repository zip files to unapproved sharing services.
