First day — design¶
Shared install: Today is your first day. Work from Rephrased-Games/Rephrased-Game; old demo repos are historical only. Do the required block. Stop there unless a row below matches your current task.
Required¶
- Rephrased MCP — install,
/onboard. Ask your lead for this week's assignment, then tell the agent what you're working on. - Install Unreal 5.8 and Visual Studio 2026 once: Building Rephrased —
[OpenAfterPull]Build_Project.batopens or rebuilds as needed. You do not need to open Visual Studio for design work. Open Rune Showcase, Play.
Weekly workflow¶
Same as engineering. Talk normally in your coding agent. Rephrased MCP runs the rest (convention check, team review, wiki, devlog). You compile and PIE only if you changed project files. No extra steps.
If you need it¶
| Need | Read |
|---|---|
| Puzzle / level context | GDD · Pillars and loop · Rune language · Level design template |
| Handoff to implementation | Rune authoring · Adding a rune |
| Editor panels | Unreal Editor 101 |
Ask your lead if you are unsure.
