Asset Management

Game Asset Stogae​

All game assets are stored in a dedicate Google Cloud Storage bucket seperate from our code repository.

  • Base URL: http://storage.googleapis.com/science-island-gamedata/

Image Guidelines​

  • Location: Store in /static/img/ directory with appropriate subfolders
  • Naming Convention: Use kebab-case: database-schema-v2.png
  • File Formats:
    • PNG for diagrams and screenshots
    • JPEG for photographs
    • SVG for logos and icons
  • Size Optimization: Compress images before committing (aim for <500KB)
  • Alt Text: Always include descriptive alt text for accessibility
  • Dimensions: Resize images to appropriate display size

Diagram Standards​

  • Tools: Use Draw.io, Lucidchart, or Mermaid.js for consistency
  • Styling: Maintain consistent color schemes and fonts
  • Version Control: Include source files when possible (.drawio, .mmd)
  • Accessibility: Ensure sufficient color contrast and readable text
  • Annotations: Label important parts clearly

Best Practices​

  • Regular Cleanup: Removed unused assets quarterly
  • Naming Convention: See Naming Conventionfor more details.
  • Backup: Important assets should be stored in version control
  • Licensing: ensure proper rights for all visual assets
