THE TOMB IS NOT A BACKDROP

Pretty pictures are cheap. Playable space is not.
This is the Mystery of Ancient Darkness level editor—the machinery behind the painted world.
The tomb is being converted into depth-aware runtime data: support tracks, transitions, hazards, event triggers, obstacles, enemies, occlusion masks and spawn markers. The editor validates the map before export.
Current proof map: 10 supports. 6 transitions. 2 events. 0 validation errors.
We are building the production machinery before selling the fantasy. That is what your support funds: not a mood board, but the next working slice.
