---

## 📁 **Assets Location:**

All generated assets saved to:
```
/Users/davidkotnik/.gemini/antigravity/brain/eda9a368-77c1-4f9a-961e-2c9fce4e750e/
```

**Next Step:** Organize into proper folders:
```
assets/slike 🟢/
  ├── bugs/
  ├── items/
  ├── npcs/ivan/
  ├── buildings/blacksmith/
  ├── ui/repair/
  └── tools/
```

---

## ⏱️ **Time Investment:**

**Total Assets Generated:** 112 sprites  
**Session Duration:** ~30 minutes  
**Average:** ~3.7 sprites/minute  
**API Quota:** Excellent, minimal throttling

---

## 🔑 **Key Technical Notes:**

### **NPC Reference System:**
- **1 master reference per NPC** in `konsistentno/` folder
- From that 1 image, can generate:
  - Idle poses (4 directions)
  - Action poses (working, walking, talking)
  - Dialogue portraits (multiple expressions)
  - Different camera angles

### **Tool System Tiers:**
```
Basic (wood/stone) → Iron → Steel → Gold → Diamond → Legendary (glowing)
```

### **Asset Organization Priority:**
1. Move all sprites to proper folders
2. Regenerate asset manifest
3. Update visual asset browser
4. Test in-game integration

---

## 🎯 **Next Session Goals:**

1. **Organize Assets:** Move all generated sprites to correct folders
2. **Continue Generation:** More crops, props, UI elements (NO NPC, NO animals per user request)
3. **Integration:** Begin loading assets into game systems
4. **Testing:** Visual review in asset browser

---

## 💡 **Production Insights:**

### **What Worked Well:**
- Master reference approach for Ivan = perfect consistency
- Batch generation by tool tier = efficient
- Clear naming conventions
- Style 32 prompts = consistent output

### **Challenges:**
- Minor API throttle at ~40 sprites (easily resolved)
- Need better organization workflow for 100+ assets

### **Improvements for Next Session:**
- Organize assets DURING generation, not after
- Create automated script to move brain assets → proper folders
- Update manifest in real-time

---
