Gameplay proof workflow

Real screenshot slots for making Heartopia Grove feel verified.

This page is the bridge between a good guide site and a trusted player wiki. It shows exactly which screenshots to collect, how to label proof, and where real gameplay images should replace guide illustrations later.

How screenshots and table rows should be marked

Verified in-gameUse only after your own screenshot or direct in-game check confirms it.
Source checkedUse for reliable source pages that still need your own in-game screenshot.
Community reportedUse when a player submitted a tip, but the site has not independently checked it.
Needs re-checkUse for codes, events, prices, or spawn details that can change after patches.

What each proof image should include

  1. Clear caption: say what the screenshot proves, not just what it shows.
  2. Date checked: use an exact date because codes, events, prices, and unlocks can change.
  3. Page link: connect the proof image to the related guide or item table row.
  4. Permission note: use your own screenshot or player-submitted screenshot with permission.
  5. Status label: mark it verified, source checked, community reported, or needs re-check.

Do not mix up real screenshots and AI/illustration assets
