How Drakima VN Maker organizes authoring

Staff use dedicated Maker workspaces for story structure, scene layout, dialogue, choices, character resources, combat where authored, media and release preparation. Copilot assistance and artwork tools have their own provider and review boundaries.

Creative iteration should not modify a member's active release. Keeping drafts, candidates, playtests and publication distinct lets authors review exactly what they intend to deliver.

Save work in the owning editor, validate the graph and assets, then preview the exact candidate. Review and publish through the existing release workflow. A later draft is not automatically included in an earlier approved candidate.

Character resources, sprite placement, voices and music stay with their existing asset owners. Copilot output is an authoring aid, not authority to publish or mutate arbitrary files. Shared speech synthesis keeps the selected voice and language across bounded passages.

Valkyrie's story and active-time battle tooling, the separate Legend Maker publication flow and Arcade campaign runtime have different owners. Their availability and manual acceptance must not be inferred from the presence of the VN Maker editor.
