A comprehensive planning document that includes:
A foundation for artists, not a replacement. Reduce AI slop with historically accurate constraints.
From Brief to Design-Ready in 4 Steps
~8 hours total. Deterministic pipeline with built-in safeguards.
Input Creative Brief
Typed schema ensures structured input for the pipeline.
Research & Rerank

Export Design-Ready VAB
PDF + markdown, ready for artists.
Building a historically accurate game takes weeks of manual research.
Google Docs, Wikipedia, and scattered PDFs. It's slow, inconsistent, and error-prone.
| Feature | Manual Research | ArchAngel |
|---|---|---|
Historical Accuracy | Guesses based on surface-level browsing | Validated output with source citations |
Source Quality | Mixed quality, no curation | 215 curated domains with deterministic scoring |
Bilingual Research | One language at a time | Simultaneous EN + Chinese |
Time to VAB | 2-3 weeks | ~8 hours |
Most indie studios research manually.
Here's what that looks like:
Google searches, Wikipedia, scattered PDFs
Cross-referencing sources, checking dates, verifying details
Organizing into a VAB, fixing inconsistencies
The result:
2-3 weeks of unstructured work before a single production asset is created. Historical errors slip through. Artists waste time on wrong references.
Same historical accuracy, zero manual research.
ArchAngel isn't magic. It's a deterministic pipeline with built-in safeguards:
Typed Pydantic schemas
ArtBrief → VAB → DesignSpecs. No hallucinated fields.
215 curated domains
Deterministic authority scoring. No random Wikipedia.
Citation integrity system
Detects and rejects hallucinated source IDs.
Language-aware reranking
Simultaneous EN + Chinese research. No manual translation.
Validation-refinement loop
Deterministic scoring overrides LLM self-assessment.
The "Wrong Period" Problem
Building a Three Kingdoms game (220-280 AD)? Here's what typically goes wrong.
