# Blazium genre: RPG

Thin adapter — not an RPG framework. Baseline: **Blazium 0.8.x (Godot 4.8.x
fork)**. Inspect `config_version` / `features`; keep `blazium_4.8`-safe APIs unless
the user asks to migrate.

Do not fork a studio-clone skill pack.

## When to use

- Use when building quests, parties, stats, or dialogue-driven RPG loops.

**When not to use:** card combat only → `blazium-genre-card-game`. NPC
pathing without plans → `blazium-navigation`. Talk graph only →
`blazium-dialogue`. Full VN scene flow → `blazium-genre-visual-novel`.

## Grok host

Load this adapter plus one pin. Spawn `game-designer` for loops,
`writer` for `tr()` keys, `ai-programmer` for GOAP. Return item Resource
paths and the save query used.

## Workflow

1. **Inspect.** Existing items / locales / save.
2. **Choose.** Pins below for APIs. Order: resources → localization → UI
   menus → SQLite slots → GOAP if NPCs plan.
3. **Implement.** Router + this adapter + one pin.
4. **Verify.** Autowork on inventory/save; `tr()` smoke — not screenshots.
5. **Handoff.** Planner → `blazium-goap`. Streamer → `blazium-streaming`.

## Patterns

| Pin | Owns |
|-----|------|
| `blazium-resources` | items / stats `.tres` |
| `blazium-localization` | `tr()` / locales |
| `blazium-ui` | menus / HUD |
| `blazium-goap` | NPC plans (`init(actor)`) |
| `blazium-sqlite` | save (`user://`) |

Plan NPCs with GOAP; persist slot data with SQLite:

```gdscript
agent.init(actor)  # BlaziumGoapAgent — required or planning never starts
var db := SQLite.new()
if not db.load_from("user://rpg.sqlite"):
	push_error(db.get_last_error_message())
	return
var q: SQLiteQuery = db.create_query("SELECT quest FROM saves WHERE id = ?")
var rows := q.execute([slot])
```

## Output contract

- Item / stat Resource paths
- Locale keys added
- Save path + query
- Whether GOAP `init(actor)` is wired

## Pitfalls

- **Invented a Unity ScriptableObject stack** → resources + csv.
- **Rewrote GOAP as a behavior tree** → `blazium-goap`.
- **Hardcoded English strings** → localization.
- **Called GOAP without `init(actor)`** → planner never starts.
