# 🎮 ADVANCED GAME SYSTEMS - DESIGN DOCUMENT
## Hipodevil666 Studios™ - DolinaSmrti
**Created:** January 10, 2026, 03:30 CET
**Version:** 1.0 - Advanced Features
**Status:** Design Phase
**Developer:** David "HIPO" Kotnik
---
## 📋 OVERVIEW
This document outlines 4 major advanced game systems for DolinaSmrti:
1. **Generational Aging System** - Characters age visually and mechanically
2. **Intro Video & Flashback Expansion** - Emotional storytelling with blur effects
3. **Ghost Quest System** - Parents' spirits guide after Ana is found

---
## 🎭 SYSTEM 1: GENERATIONAL AGING SYSTEM
### **Concept:**
Kai and Ana visually age throughout the game, reflecting the passage of time and emotional journey. Even if Kai starts a family, the Ana search continues - with his children potentially joining the quest in later phases.
### **Age Stages:**
#### **1. YOUNG KAI (Game Start - Year 1-5)**
**Visual Design:**
- Full dreadlocks (dark brown/black with colored tips)
- Piercings: 2 ear piercings, eyebrow piercing
- Clothing: Baggy punk style, band t-shirts
- Build: Lean, athletic
- Facial: Clean-shaven or light stubble

**Family Mechanic:**
- Wife NPC: Provides home base, cooking, emotional support
- Child NPC (Age 5-10): Follows Kai on easier missions, learns survival
- **Story Note:** Family does NOT end Ana search quest
- Dialog: "My children deserve to know their aunt Ana is alive."
#### **3. ELDER KAI (Year 16+)**
**Visual Design:**
- Grey dreadlocks (dignified silver/white)
- ALL piercings STILL present (never removed!)
- Clothing: Worn leather jacket, patched clothes

---
### **Ana Age Stages:**
#### **1. YOUNG ANA (When Found - Captive)**
**Visual Design:**
- Lab coat over prisoner clothes
- Short practical hair (cut during captivity)
- Pale skin (no sunlight)
- Scientist appearance
- Exhausted but intelligent eyes
#### **2. RECOVERED ANA (Post-Rescue)**
**Visual Design:**
- Twin matching with Kai's current age
- If Kai is elder, Ana also shows grey hair
- Lab coat remains (scientist identity)
- Healthier appearance after recovery
**Story Sync:**
- Ana ages to match Kai's current stage when found
- If Kai is Old, Ana is also Old when rescued
- Emotional reunion regardless of age
- "I never stopped working on the cure, sister."
---
### **Aging Triggers:**
**Time-Based:**
- Every in-game year = visual age check
- Smooth transition (no sudden changes)
- Gradual sprite replacement
**Story-Based:**
- Major quest completions can trigger age jumps
- "10 years later..." time skips for dramatic effect
- Player choice: "Continue searching?" or "Build a family first?"
**Mechanical:**
```javascript
class AgingSystem {
constructor() {
this.kaiAge = 25; // Starting age
this.currentStage = 'young'; // young/adult/elder
this.yearsSearching = 0;
this.hasFamily = false;
this.children = [];
}
updateAge(years) {
this.kaiAge += years;
this.yearsSearching += years;
if (this.kaiAge >= 40) {
this.transitionToElder();
} else if (this.kaiAge >= 30) {
this.transitionToAdult();
}
}
transitionToAdult() {
// Load adult sprite set
// Update stats
// Check for family formation
// Show "Years have passed..." cutscene
}
checkFamilyFormation() {
// Player choice dialog
// If yes: wife NPC + child system
// If no: continue solo (faster progress)
// Either way: Ana search continues!
}
}
```
---

### **Technical Implementation:**
```javascript
class GhostQuestSystem {
constructor(scene) {
this.scene = scene;
this.ghostsActive = false;
this.fatherGhost = null;
this.motherGhost = null;
}
checkActivation() {
if (
this.scene.questSystem.isCompleted('rescue_ana') &&
this.scene.questSystem.isCompleted('distribute_cure') &&
this.scene.player.location === 'home_ruins' &&
this.scene.timeSystem.hour >= 23
) {
this.summonGhosts();
}
}
summonGhosts() {
// Blur effect
this.scene.cameras.main.setPostPipeline('BlurFX');
// Spawn ghosts
this.fatherGhost = this.scene.add.sprite(x, y, 'father_ghost');
this.motherGhost = this.scene.add.sprite(x, y, 'mother_ghost');
// Neon glow effect
this.fatherGhost.setTint(0x00FFFF); // Cyan
this.motherGhost.setTint(0xFF00FF); // Magenta
// Alpha + glow animation
this.scene.tweens.add({
targets: [this.fatherGhost, this.motherGhost],
alpha: { from: 0, to: 0.5 },
duration: 2000,
ease: 'Power2'
});
// Pulse glow
this.addGlowPulse(this.fatherGhost);
this.addGlowPulse(this.motherGhost);
// Start dialog
this.startGhostDialog();
}
addGlowPulse(sprite) {
this.scene.tweens.add({
targets: sprite,
scaleX: 1.05,
scaleY: 1.05,
duration: 1500,
yoyo: true,
