Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

game-cinematic-cutscene-design scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Game Cinematic Cutscene Design

Core Workflow

  1. Identify the cinematic type: intro video, in-engine cutscene, interactive cutscene, dialogue scene, boss reveal, level flythrough, transition, ending, trailer, or prerendered movie.
  2. Define the job of the scene before planning shots: establish world, reveal character, teach stakes, reward progress, hide loading, transition locations, sell a mechanic, create spectacle, or deliver story payoff.
  3. Create a compact beat sheet, then convert it into a shot list with duration, camera intent, subject, action, dialogue/audio, transition, and gameplay handoff.
  4. Build an animatic or blockout before polishing. Validate pacing, screen direction, readable silhouettes, camera continuity, timing, and whether the player understands the next action.
  5. Implement with clear ownership of cameras, actors, animation, control lockout, audio, subtitles, gameplay events, save/load state, and skip behavior.
  6. Review in context: before and after gameplay, target platform, expected aspect ratios, subtitles on, different languages where relevant, and with player settings applied.

Creative Priorities

  • Purpose: every shot should reveal, clarify, escalate, contrast, or transition. Remove shots that only repeat information.
  • Player agency: use passive viewing deliberately; preserve control when interactivity would make the moment stronger.
  • Readability: stage characters, props, UI, and camera movement so the player understands who acts, what changes, and where attention belongs.
  • Continuity: track screen direction, eyelines, geography, action matching, lighting continuity, and audio continuity.
  • Pacing: vary shot length, camera motion, performance intensity, and silence; do not cut faster than the player can parse.
  • Tone: match lens, camera movement, editing rhythm, music, sound, and performance to the game world rather than generic film language.
  • Handoff: end with a clear playable state, objective, camera position, input return, and no unexpected player danger unless intentional.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
