Dusk Progression Kit
====================

11 pixel art progression and reward components for dark interfaces —
night-violet with amber accents. SVG plus transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x.

Dusk Progression Kit is a set of 11 progression and reward components drawn in
the pixel art style, where every corner is a staircase of whole pixels and
nothing is anti-aliased. It contains four skill tree node states, empty, half
and full rating stars, a level badge, an experience ring and an ability
cooldown ring.

Progression screens are where state matters most and where colour is least
reliable: a skill tree is already covered in ability art in every hue, so a
node whose state is only a border colour is unreadable the moment it has an
icon in it.

The outline steps in 4px units and shading is a Bayer dither rather than a
gradient, so the set survives being scaled by an integer factor — which is the
only way pixel art can be scaled without turning to mush.

Inside that style this is the Dusk reading of it: a dark interface on a
night-violet palette with amber accents, built around a header band across the
top of the frame, square-cornered buttons at 96x32, tick-marked bars divided
into 6 segments, and solid icons on a 16px grid. Those measurements are why
two families can share an art style without being interchangeable: the style
decides how an edge is drawn, the numbers decide what the interface is for.

The locked node is hatched, the maxed node carries four corner ticks, and the
available node is simply the plain face — three states told by texture and
count rather than by hue. The two rings share one geometry and differ only in
fill direction and colour, so they line up when stacked.

Every sprite ships as an editable SVG and as transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x,
so you can drop the PNGs straight into an engine or open the vector and change
a colour. Built to the same measurements as the rest of the Dusk family, which
means this kit and the Dusk panel kit line up without either being resized. A
good fit for pixel-art games.

HOW TO USE

  - Draw the ability icon inside the skill node, not over it; the node art
    leaves the centre clear for exactly that.
  - Animate the cooldown ring by redrawing the arc rather than by rotating the
    sprite — the supplied frame is a static example at 68%.
  - Stack three stars at the same size for a rating row; the half star exists
    so a 2.5 average does not have to round.
