How NCP Works

From story beat to rendered scene in four steps.

01

Narrative Trigger

A story beat fires — ordeal, revelation, confrontation...

02

Default Slots

NCP fills 4 slots: location, lighting, effects, camera

03

Brand Match

Scrya API finds the best-fit campaign for this scene

04

Bias Applied

Slots shift toward brand affinities — lighting warms, location aligns

ncp_pipeline.py 
# 1. Story beat fires
narrative_fn = "ordeal"

# 2. NCP fills default visual slots
default_slots = {"location": "urban_outdoor",
                "lighting": "neutral",
                "effects":  [],
                "camera":   "medium_shot"}

# 3. Scrya finds a matching brand campaign
brand_match = scrya.match(narrative_fn, player_geo="US")

# 4. Slots shift toward brand affinities
biased_slots = {"location": "indoor_casual",
               "lighting": "warm_golden",
               "effects":  ["soft_bokeh"],
               "camera":   "medium_shot"}

12 Narrative Functions

Each narrative function maps to default visual slots. When a story beat fires, the pipeline knows which location, lighting, and effects to use.

Pipeline Slots

Every scene is built from four visual slots. Brands influence each one through affinity-weighted bias.

Location

Brands can bias scenes to preferred location groups that match their aesthetic.

urban_outdoor rural_outdoor indoor_formal indoor_casual dramatic

Lighting

Brand affinity weight 0-1 applied to lighting mood. Warm golden for cozy brands, cool blue for tech.

warm_golden cool_blue neutral high_contrast natural_daylight

Effects

Up to 3 effects per scene — smoke, rain, lens flare. Brands can push cinematic or gritty style.

smoke rain lens_flare soft_bokeh dust

Camera

Shot type and angle. Currently fixed defaults — reserved for future brand influence.

wide_shot medium_shot close_up over_shoulder low_angle
