Crystal Isle

A cozy third-person fantasy stroll on a floating island in the sky.

You play a girl in a dress walking the isle. Glowing amethyst clusters grow all over it — they glint from across the island, and when you walk near one your crystal staff raises and aims at it on its own. Fire, and it chips, and breaks in 2 to 5 hits depending on the staff you carry. Every hit and the final break drop crystal shards into your pouch, shown in the corner of the screen.

At the middle of the island stands Crystal Haven, a round thatched shop. Walk up to it and talk to open the counter: four staffs that mine faster and pay more, and five dresses that change how you look — including the one you are wearing. Nothing can hurt you here and nothing is ever lost. The only goal is the wardrobe, and the last staff.

Built in Zero. The island's plate, its rock underside, the golden-hour sky and the player are the scene; everything else is five components that build on mount points the scene lays out:

Slice	What it owns
ci_island	the grass, flowers, boulders and blossom trees, the floating islets and the tall glowing spire, the island's air, and the rescue if you walk off the edge
ci_hero	the girl — her hair, her dress, her staff, and the wardrobe that follows what you buy
ci_mining	the amethyst clusters, the laser, the chips, the shards
ci_shop	Crystal Haven and the shop screen
ci_screens	the shard HUD, its prompts, and the title screen

Every one of them reads its numbers from crystal_isle.Core — one module holding the island's size, the mining rule, the staff and dress catalogues, the palette, and the live shard / pickaxe / dress state.
