## 🚀 **NEXT SESSION PRIORITIES**

### **Immediate (Faza 1 completion):**
1. Generate remaining NPC 8-direction sprites:
   - Šivilja (colored hair, piercings, tailor aesthetic)
   - Remaining building sprites (Museum stages, etc.)
2. Integrate all systems into main game scene
3. Test audio systems with actual game flow
4. Generate VFX sprites for drug effects

### **Short-term:**
5. Create NPC portrait sprites for dialogue system
6. Implement quest UI to display active courier deliveries
7. Test zombie worker animations
8. Polish visual effects for mushroom hallucinations

## 💡 **LESSONS LEARNED**

1. **EXTREMIST standard works:** Post-apo needs clear punk visual language
2. **System integration is key:** Each new system connects to 2-3 others
3. **Audio layering adds depth:** Multiple sound sources create immersion
4. **Visual feedback matters:** Hearts, floating text, VFX make systems feel real

## 📌 **NOTES FOR FUTURE**

- Vape Factory design needed for Faza 3 (50 population milestone)
- Police system will change drug economy dynamics (30% bust risk)
- Social status system can expand with more tiers
- Mushroom hallucinations can include more ghost types (family members, old friends)

---

**Code Quality:** All systems fully documented, integration-ready  
**Morale:** High - Project momentum strong! 🚀
