## ⚙️ PRODUCTION RULES

✅ 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)

## 🎨 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.**
