# H3 Confirmation Image Template

## Core Rule
Generate a polished 16:9 landscape confirmation image for a cooperative game main menu.
The image consists of two independent systems:
• UI Framework (fixed)
• Visual Style (dynamic)
The UI Framework defines the layout, composition, information hierarchy, interaction logic, reading flow, menu structure, and readability. These elements must remain unchanged.
{visual_style} only controls the artistic appearance, including rendering medium, materials, color language, lighting mood, environment style, character design, costume language, UI materials, icon language, typography appearance, decorative motifs, and overall atmosphere.
Changing {visual_style} should feel like applying a different art direction to the same professionally designed game menu, never redesigning the interface itself.
If any default description conflicts with {visual_style}, prioritize {visual_style} while preserving the UI framework.

---

## Design Goal
Create a premium commercial console game main menu mockup in 16:9 landscape format. The image should combine the quality of a polished game promotional artwork with the clarity of a professional game UI. Characters and interface must feel naturally integrated, with strong visual hierarchy, excellent readability, clean composition, and a clear interaction focus.

---

## Overall Style
Follow the user-selected visual style: {visual_style}.
The selected style controls the rendering medium, illustration style, materials, palette language, environment, character appearance, outfit design, UI appearance, icon language, typography treatment, decorative elements, and atmosphere.
All visual elements must belong to one unified artistic language.
Do not mix incompatible visual styles within the same image.
The UI framework, layout, hierarchy, composition, and interaction logic must remain consistent regardless of style.

---

## Color Palette
Derive the entire color system from {visual_style}.
Use:
• {main_background_color} as the primary background color.
• {ui_body_color} as the main UI color.
• {text_color} as the primary text color.
• {functional_accent_color} as the interaction highlight color.
• Red only for warning, danger, or exit actions.
Limit the overall palette to five primary colors.
All buttons, player cards, icons, borders, highlights, decorative elements, typography, and visual effects must follow the same color system.
Avoid introducing unrelated colors outside the selected palette.

---

## Composition
Use a fixed 16:9 landscape layout.
Place {character_count} playable characters in the center as the visual subject.
The UI surrounds the characters without blocking them.
Place the player information cards in the upper-left corner.
Place the main menu vertically on the right.
Place a decorative horizontal strip along the bottom, adapting naturally to {visual_style} (such as ribbon, warning strip, wooden plank, stone slab, energy bar, scroll, etc.).
Keep a clear Z-shaped reading flow:
Player Cards → Characters → Menu → Continue Button.
The Continue button must always remain the primary visual focus.
Maintain generous negative space and excellent readability.

---

## Background
Generate a background naturally derived from {visual_style}.
The background supports the interface rather than competing with it.
Keep enough clean negative space behind all important UI elements.
Use subtle textures, environmental details, and decorative motifs only where appropriate for the selected style.
Avoid excessive visual noise, dense decoration, heavy dirt, scratches, paint splatter, or distracting textures.
The overall background should feel polished, premium, modern, and suitable for a commercial game menu.

---

## Character Style
All characters strictly follow {visual_style}.
The selected style determines:
• rendering medium
• body proportion
• facial stylization
• costume language
• material treatment
• lighting response
• animation style
• overall character quality
Only the character identity anchors and pose remain fixed. Facial rendering, eye design, nose simplification, mouth shape, skin treatment, expression style, and head proportion must be fully reinterpreted in {visual_style}.
No default character style may override {visual_style}.

---

## Character A / PLAYER 1
### Identity
Use character reference image 1 only for identity mapping.
The reference image donates identity anchors only: recognizable face silhouette, hairstyle, glasses if present, relative facial proportions, and distinctive personal traits.
It does not donate photographic realism, real skin texture, real-world lighting, camera quality, or the original image style.
Do not lose the character's identity anchors, but the face must be redesigned into {visual_style}.
All facial rendering, eye design, nose simplification, mouth shape, skin treatment, expression style, and head proportion must follow {visual_style}.
Do not swap identity with other characters.

### Appearance
Character rendering, expression, outfit, materials, and accessories are fully derived from {visual_style} while maintaining a recognizable playable-game-character silhouette.

### Action
Character A sits cross-legged on the ground.
Both hands support the body on the floor.
The upper body leans slightly backward.
Character A looks upward toward the camera.

---

## Character B / PLAYER 2
### Identity
Use character reference image 2 only for identity mapping.
The reference image donates identity anchors only: recognizable face silhouette, hairstyle, glasses if present, relative facial proportions, and distinctive personal traits.
It does not donate photographic realism, real skin texture, real-world lighting, camera quality, or the original image style.
Do not lose the character's identity anchors, but the face must be redesigned into {visual_style}.
All facial rendering, eye design, nose simplification, mouth shape, skin treatment, expression style, and head proportion must follow {visual_style}.
Do not swap identity with other characters.

### Appearance
Character rendering, expression, outfit, materials, and accessories are fully derived from {visual_style} while maintaining a recognizable playable-game-character silhouette.

### Action
Character B sits cross-legged on the ground.
Both hands rest naturally in front of the legs.
The upper body leans slightly forward.
Character B looks directly toward the camera.

---

## Lighting
Lighting follows {visual_style} while preserving clear readability.
Use a primary top light, secondary fill light, soft ambient bounce, contact shadows, gentle rim lighting, and high-quality global illumination where appropriate.
Faces should remain clearly visible.
Characters must integrate naturally into the environment while maintaining strong separation from the background.

---

## Game UI
Create a professional commercial console game main menu.
The menu structure, interaction hierarchy, spacing, composition, reading flow, and information architecture remain fixed.
{visual_style} only changes the artistic appearance of the interface.
The selected style may affect:
• UI materials
• surface textures
• border treatment
• corner shape
• decorative motifs
• color rendering
• lighting treatment
• icon language
• typography appearance
• interaction effects
It must NOT change:
• menu hierarchy
• button order
• button placement
• player-card placement
• composition
• interaction logic
• information architecture
• readability
The entire interface should feel like one professionally designed game UI system rather than separate elements assembled together.

---

## UI Visual Language
Derive the complete UI appearance from {visual_style}.
The selected style determines:
• button materials
• border language
• panel materials
• decorative details
• edge treatment
• visual weight
• highlight style
• interaction feedback
• shadow treatment
• texture language
Possible materials include wood, stone, paper, leather, cloth, glass, crystal, hologram, neon, metal, ceramic, carved surfaces, painted surfaces, magical energy, pixel blocks, watercolor paper, ink brush, comic graphics or any other material naturally belonging to {visual_style}.
Every UI element must share the same material language and artistic style.

---

## Button Layout Rules
Place all menu buttons vertically on the right side.
Maintain a consistent vertical rhythm.
Every button uses the same design family.
Button width automatically adapts to text length.
Keep all menu titles on a single line.
No automatic wrapping.
No stacked text.
Text remains horizontally centered.
Keep consistent padding.
Maintain equal spacing between buttons.
Avoid visual clutter.

---

## Continue Button
The Continue button is always the primary visual focus.
Make it visually dominant using the emphasis method naturally belonging to {visual_style}.
Possible emphasis methods include:
• larger size
• stronger contrast
• brighter color
• unique material
• distinctive border
• lighting
• glow
• engraving
• magical energy
• holographic effect
• embossed frame
• animated visual cue
Do not force glow or neon if they conflict with {visual_style}.
The Continue button should immediately attract the player's attention.

---

## Start New Game Button
Place above Continue.
Use the standard secondary button appearance.
Keep the visual language consistent with the selected style.
Add one small style-appropriate icon if suitable.
Maintain single-line text.

---

Red should remain an accent rather than the dominant color.
Add one style-appropriate exit icon if suitable.

---

## Player Cards
Create an upper-left player information system for {character_count} players.
The appearance follows {visual_style}.
Card materials, borders, corners, textures, shadows, decorations, and icons are automatically derived from the selected style.
Each player card contains:
• Player label
• Player nickname
• READY status
Player names:
PLAYER 1
{player1_name}
PLAYER 2
{player2_name}
READY always uses the functional accent color.
The cards should remain highly readable and visually connected to the rest of the interface.

---

Buttons may display appropriate interaction feedback naturally belonging to {visual_style}.
Possible interaction feedback includes:
• hover
• pressed state
• magical glow
• energy pulse
• holographic highlight
• carved illumination
