+## ⚙️ PRODUCTION RULES
+
+### **Style 32 (Cute-Dark):**
+✅ Anything with a face (characters, animals, creatures)  
+✅ Man-made objects (buildings, tools, weapons)  
+✅ Horror/dark elements (zombies, ghosts, bosses)  
+✅ Processed/crafted items
+
+### **Style 30 (Garden Story Cozy):**
+✅ Natural plants (fruits, vegetables, flowers)  
+✅ Trees and vegetation  
+✅ Raw harvested crops  
+✅ Wholesome nature elements
+
+### **Exceptions:**
+❌ **Grass/Ground** - Uses separate terrain style (NOT Style 30)  
+❌ **Cooked food** - Uses Style 32 (it's processed)  
+❌ **Mutant plants** - Uses Style 32 (they're creatures)
+
+---
+
+## 🎨 VISUAL CONSISTENCY NOTES
+
+### **Why Two Styles Work Together:**
+
+**Style 32 (Cute-Dark):**
+- Pastel + gothic = soft but edgy
+- Chunky proportions, big eyes
+- Contradiction aesthetic
+
+**Style 30 (Cozy):**
+- Pastel + vibrant = soft but colorful
+- Rounded shapes, friendly
+- Wholesome aesthetic
+
+**Common Ground:**
+- Both use **pastel palettes** ✅
+- Both have **soft rounded shapes** ✅
+- Both are **stylized, not realistic** ✅
+- Both are **vector-ready with clean outlines** ✅
+
+**The blend creates:**
+- Characters feel "cute-dark" (compelling, edgy)
+- Nature feels "wholesome-cozy" (safe, nurturing)
+- Perfect for **horror-farming hybrid** genre!

+## 📝 NOTES FROM hipodevil666
+
+Dual-style system RESOLVED the problem:
+- I don't want EVERYTHING cute-dark (too monotonous)
+- Nature needs to feel SAFE and WHOLESOME
+- Characters need to feel COMPELLING and EDGY
+- Style 30 gives the "farming" vibe
+- Style 32 gives the "horror" vibe
+- Together = perfect DolinaSmrti balance
+
+**This is the final production approach. No more style changes.**
