Unity AAA graphics

Visuals are the first thing a player sees and the biggest driver of "is this a real game or a toy." This skill exists to stop the most common failure mode: a scene where the gameplay works but the art is flat solid-color fills + procedural placeholder shapes + one lonely generated sprite, which reads as amateur ("made in MS Paint") no matter how good the mechanics are.

The fix is not "add bloom." It is an art-first pipeline: decide a direction, generate real art for every primary visible surface, light and finish the scene, and gate on a concrete visual scorecard.

Core rule: real generated art is the DEFAULT for every primary visible surface, not an optional upgrade for one hero asset. Procedural/runtime shapes are a fallback for when a generator key is MISSING/quota-blocked, or for genuinely low-value repeated props — never the plan for the things a player stares at.

The amateur-look failure modes (what makes a scene read as "MS Paint")

Diagnose against this list — each one is a fixable cause:

• Flat solid-color fills for ground/background/regions (no texture, gradient, or material variation).
• Procedural primitive shapes (plain rects/blobs) standing in for terrain, paths, towers, props.
• One generated "hero" asset on top of untextured everything-else — the mismatch screams placeholder.
• No lighting/shadow/depth — everything is uniformly lit and flat (no URP, no shadows, no ambient occlusion, no real vignette/gradient).
• No cohesive art direction — assets don't share palette, light direction, line weight, or finish.
• Crude vignette/overlay hacks (a hard dark oval) instead of real lighting or a designed backdrop.
• Empty negative space with no environmental detail, scatter, or framing.
