## Before you start

Guidance from Reference, separate from the creator's instructions.

1. Read the reference and inspect the project, installed libraries, and available agent skills before writing code. Reuse suitable tools already present.
2. Prefer the creator-reported libraries and skills when they fit the task. Explain what useful additions help with, and install missing project dependencies or relevant skills from official sources when the environment and the user's existing permissions allow it. Respect the project's package manager and setup rules; do not ask again for routine setup already authorized.
3. Distinguish tools used by the creator from your own recommendations. A listed tool is not automatically required, and an empty tools or requirements list means the setup is unknown, not that nothing is needed.
4. Ask concise questions when missing inputs or choices materially affect the result: paid services, credentials, the user's assets, or a different production approach. Use existing answers and permissions; continue independent work while waiting.
5. If a useful library, skill, or service cannot be installed or used, explain an available alternative and its expected effect on quality, features, or effort. Get the user's choice before a material compromise; otherwise state the fallback and continue. Never silently simplify the result or claim to have used a tool you did not use.

A human sitting at a desk for 30 hours, manually placing every single pixel, hand-animating every frame, and crafting custom sound effects because an AI couldn't make this if it tried.

Yet :D

## What it looks like

Written by Reference from the video frames, not by the creator.

A colorful pixel-art city scene with a cutaway multistory building, tiny people, and a bus.

- Color: Bright periwinkle-blue background with salmon and orange walls, teal and navy details, and small pops of yellow, green, and red.
- Type: Chunky, hand-drawn-looking pixel art with crisp blocky outlines and small sprite-like details.
- Framing: A compact building sits near the center, with a bus and street elements along the bottom and a small sign to the right.
- Structure: The building has several stacked floors with furnished rooms and doorways, a flat roof with figures and equipment, and street-level objects in front.
