Sandbox Modals
==============

15 voxel modal dialogs and system notices for light interfaces — desert tan
with sky blue accents. SVG plus transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x.

Sandbox Modals is a set of 15 modal dialogs and system notices drawn in the
voxel style, where each surface is the front face of a cube with a lit top
face and a shaded right face. It contains three modal dialogs at rising
severity, three system plates and three system banners, a three-button footer
row, a close button, a layered backdrop scrim and a plain, a focused and an
error input field.

A modal is not a panel: it stops the game, waits for an answer, and sometimes
the answer cannot be undone. The usual way to say that is a red border, which
collides with the health colour already on screen and disappears the moment a
developer retints the kit to their own palette.

The extrusion is real geometry rather than a shadow: the light angle never
changes, there are exactly three tones per block, and the front face is inset
so the cube stays inside its own sprite bounds.

Inside that style this is the Sandbox reading of it: a light interface on a
desert tan palette with sky blue accents, built around a header band across
the top of the frame, chamfered buttons at 112x40, banded bars divided into 12
segments, and two-tone 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.

Severity is carried by the thickness of the strip along the top edge rather
than by its hue, three pixels for a notice, six for a warning and ten for
something destructive, so it survives any tint and any greyscale screenshot.
The button positions are fixed and deliberate: cancel sits left and raised,
the committing action sits right and recessed. That ordering becomes muscle
memory across a game, and a kit that varies it is how a player deletes a save
by reflex. The scrim is four stacked steps rather than one even wash, because
a single black sheet over the whole screen kills the art it is dimming.

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 Sandbox family,
which means this kit and the Sandbox panel kit line up without either being
resized. A good fit for voxel and blocky games.

HOW TO USE

  - Keep cancel on the left and the committing action on the right in every
    dialog, including the ones you build yourself from the footer row.
  - Pick the modal by the weight of its top strip rather than retinting one
    sprite. The thickness is the signal.
  - Lay the scrim behind the modal at the size of your screen and tile it: it
    is drawn as discrete steps so it scales without a blur artefact.
  - Use the error input field rather than a red border. It doubles the
    underline, which reads in greyscale and next to a health bar.
