What Should I Work On First?

What should I work on first?

Pick one small thing that sounds fun rather than trying to do everything. Use the project tracking sheet to claim it first so we do not duplicate work.

1. Millsberry / Millsberry Reborn logo

Original logo references:

https://github.com/gitupofftheflooranddosomework/millsberry.com/search?q=title_logo.png&type=code

Start with a clean high-resolution recreation of the original Millsberry wordmark. From that we can make a Millsberry Reborn version that still feels like it belongs with the original game.

2. Base Millsberry citizen/player

Buddy/avatar references:

Recovered assets:

https://github.com/gitupofftheflooranddosomework/millsberry.com/tree/main/official-recovered-assets

Start with one really good base citizen and get the proportions/body/face right before we start producing lots of clothes and accessories.

3. Missing stat icons

The known missing UI icons are:

• Fitness
• Civics
• Intelligence
• Prize/Award

4. Navigation buttons

Current generated replacement list:

Original navigation references:

https://github.com/gitupofftheflooranddosomework/millsberry.com/search?q=nav_start_1.png&type=code

The first group includes Sign Up, Start, The City, Downtown, Arcade, My Stuff, My Home, My Place, My Crib, Tour, and Customize.

5. One first character

Do not try to recreate every NPC at once. Pick one character with useful surviving references:

• Mayor Oliver Trumble: https://github.com/gitupofftheflooranddosomework/millsberry.com/search?q=Oliver+Trumble&type=code
• Jenneira: https://github.com/gitupofftheflooranddosomework/millsberry.com/search?q=Jenneira&type=code
• Sylvie: https://github.com/gitupofftheflooranddosomework/millsberry.com/search?q=Sylvie&type=code
• Kai: https://github.com/gitupofftheflooranddosomework/millsberry.com/search?q=Kai&type=code

A good rough project order is:

Logo → base citizen → stat icons → navigation → one character

As things are claimed and finished, we will add the next small batch instead of dropping hundreds of assets on everybody at once.
