+
+## 💰 COST BREAKDOWN (FREE STRATEGY)
+
+### **Method 1: Google Free Tier (RECOMMENDED)**
+- ✅ 1,000 images/month FREE
+- ✅ January: 1,000 assets
+- ✅ February: 1,000 assets
+- ✅ **TOTAL: 2,000 assets for 0€!**

+- ✅ Antigravity daily: 20-30/day
+- ✅ **TOTAL: 1,500+ for 0€!**
+
+### **Method 3: If you need 100% before Feb 1**
+- Google Paid: $0.02/image
+- 500 core assets = **$10**
+- **Worth it for speed!**
+
+---
+
+## ⚡ IMMEDIATE ACTION STEPS (Tomorrow Morning)
+
+### **STEP 1: Review Today's Work (5 minutes)**
+```bash
+cd /Users/davidkotnik/repos/novafarma
+open assets/images/zivali/fire_sheep.png
+open assets/images/zivali/three_headed_chicken.png
+open assets/images/buildings/greenhouse.png
+```
+
+**Decision:** Is Gritty Noir style approved? ✅ or ❌
+
+---
+
+### **STEP 2: Google Cloud Setup (15 minutes)**
+**Follow:** `QUICKSTART_AUTONOMOUS.md`
+
+**Quick steps:**
+1. Go to: https://console.cloud.google.com/
+2. Create project: `dolinasmrti-demo`
+3. Enable Vertex AI API
+4. Create service account
+5. Download credentials.json
+6. Save to: `/Users/davidkotnik/.config/dolinasmrti-credentials.json`
+
+---
+
+### **STEP 3: First Autonomous Run (1 hour)**
+```bash
+export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/Users/davidkotnik/.config/dolinasmrti-credentials.json"
+export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="dolinasmrti-demo"
+
+# Test with 20 assets first
+python3 scripts/autonomous_generation.py --batch 20
+
+# If successful, run full batch overnight
+nohup python3 scripts/autonomous_generation.py --batch 100 > gen.log 2>&1 &
+```
+
+**Result:** 100 new assets by tomorrow morning!
+
+---
+
+### **STEP 4: Daily Routine (10 min/day)**
+
+**Every morning:**
+```bash
+# Check progress
+tail generation_log.txt
+
+# Count new assets
+find assets/images -name "*.png" | wc -l
+
+# Start next batch
+python3 scripts/autonomous_generation.py --batch 50 &
+```
+
+**Every evening:**
+- Review 5-10 samples
+- Adjust prompts if needed
+- Git commit progress
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 SUCCESS MILESTONES
+
+**✅ Jan 5:** 370+ assets (TIER 1 started)  
+**✅ Jan 12:** 520+ assets (Characters animated)  
+**✅ Jan 19:** 700+ assets (TIER 1 ~complete)  
+**✅ Jan 26:** 850+ assets (TIER 2 started)  
+**✅ Feb 9:** 1,200+ assets (TIER 2 complete)  
+**✅ Feb 23:** Demo playable, all assets integrated  
+**✅ Mar 1:** Demo polished, video ready  
+**🚀 Mar 3:** KICKSTARTER LAUNCH!
+
+---
+
+## 🆘 FALLBACK PLANS
+
+### **If Google Cloud setup fails:**
+→ Continue with Antigravity daily batches (50/day)
+→ Still hit 1,000+ by Feb 1
+
+### **If free tier runs out:**
+→ Pay $10-20 for critical 500 assets
+→ Still cheaper than alternatives!
+
+### **If prompts need adjustment:**
+→ Easy to modify in `autonomous_generation.py`
+→ Regenerate batch
+
+### **If behind schedule:**
+→ Focus on TIER 1 only (200 core assets)
+→ Demo still impressive with just essentials

+# 🎨 NPC STYLE GUIDE - Clear Facial Features
+
+**Updated:** 30.12.2025 03:58  
+**Key Requirement:** CLEARLY VISIBLE eyes, mouth, facial expressions
+
+---
+
+## ✅ MANDATORY NPC FEATURES
+
+### **FACIAL DETAILS (CRITICAL):**
+- ✅ **Eyes:** Large, clearly defined, expressive
+- ✅ **Eyebrows:** Visible, show emotion
+- ✅ **Mouth:** Clear, detailed, shows expression
+- ✅ **Nose:** Defined (not just dot)
+- ✅ **Face shape:** Clear jawline/cheeks
+- ✅ **Expressions:** Readable from distance
+
+### **STYLE REFERENCE:**
+See uploaded Kai image - THIS level of facial detail!
+
+---
+
+## 📝 UPDATED NPC PROMPT TEMPLATE
+
+### **OLD Prompt (vague):**
+```
+"trader NPC character, merchant with backpack, game NPC sprite"
+```
+
+### **NEW Prompt (detailed facial features):**
+```
+"trader NPC character, merchant with backpack and hat, 
+CLEARLY VISIBLE EYES with pupils and highlights, 
+expressive eyebrows, detailed mouth showing friendly expression, 
+defined nose and facial features, readable emotions,
+full body front view, game character sprite,
+(bold black outlines:1.4), dark hand-drawn stylized indie game asset,
+(gritty noir aesthetic:1.2), flat colors, muted color palette,
+isolated object centered on solid white background"
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 KEY ADDITIONS TO ALL NPC PROMPTS:
+
+**Always include:**
+- "clearly visible eyes with pupils and highlights"
+- "expressive eyebrows"
+- "detailed mouth showing [happy/sad/neutral/angry] expression"
+- "defined facial features readable at game scale"
+- "full body front view" (for consistency)
+
+---
+
+## 👥 NPC EXPRESSION VARIATIONS
+
+### **For each key NPC, generate 3 expressions:**
+
+**Example: Trader NPC**
+1. **trader_neutral.png** - "calm neutral expression"
+2. **trader_happy.png** - "friendly smiling expression"
+3. **trader_surprised.png** - "surprised wide-eyed expression"
+
+**Why:** Dynamic dialogue feels alive!
+
+---
+
+## ✅ QUALITY CHECK
+
+**Good NPC sprite should have:**
+- [ ] Can see eye color/pupils from 3 feet away
+- [ ] Can read emotion (happy/sad/angry)
+- [ ] Mouth clearly visible (not just line)
