# ๐ŸŽฎ ADVANCED GAME SYSTEMS - DESIGN DOCUMENT ## Hipodevil666 Studiosโ„ข - DolinaSmrti **Created:** January 10, 2026, 03:30 CET **Version:** 1.0 - Advanced Features **Status:** Design Phase **Developer:** David "HIPO" Kotnik --- ## ๐Ÿ“‹ OVERVIEW This document outlines 4 major advanced game systems for DolinaSmrti: 1. **Generational Aging System** - Characters age visually and mechanically 2. **Intro Video & Flashback Expansion** - Emotional storytelling with blur effects 3. **Ghost Quest System** - Parents' spirits guide after Ana is found 4. **Special Edition Gronk Helper** - Bonus companion for early adopters/streamers **Design Philosophy:** These systems add emotional depth, replayability, and premium value while maintaining the noir aesthetic and HIPO's authentic ADHD creativity. --- ## ๐ŸŽญ SYSTEM 1: GENERATIONAL AGING SYSTEM ### **Concept:** Kai and Ana visually age throughout the game, reflecting the passage of time and emotional journey. Even if Kai starts a family, the Ana search continues - with his children potentially joining the quest in later phases. ### **Age Stages:** #### **1. YOUNG KAI (Game Start - Year 1-5)** **Visual Design:** - Full dreadlocks (dark brown/black with colored tips) - Piercings: 2 ear piercings, eyebrow piercing - Clothing: Baggy punk style, band t-shirts - Build: Lean, athletic - Facial: Clean-shaven or light stubble - Energy: High (faster movement speed) **Sprite Requirements:** - Full sprite set (idle, walk, run, combat, actions) - Dreadlocks physics (sway animation) - Vibrant clothing colors **Stats:** - Movement Speed: 120% base - Stamina: 100% - Health: 100 HP - Emotional State: Desperate, energetic #### **2. ADULT KAI (Year 6-15)** **Visual Design:** - Dreadlocks maintained but slightly matted - ALL piercings remain (HIPO: "Piercings don't change you!") - Clothing: More practical (cargo pants, work jacket) - Build: More muscular (from survival) - Facial: Short beard option - Possible family: Wife + child sprite companions **Sprite Requirements:** - Updated sprite set with subtle muscle definition - Dreadlocks slightly longer - Piercings clearly visible - Optional family member followers **Stats:** - Movement Speed: 100% base - Stamina: 120% (experienced survivor) - Health: 150 HP (tougher) - Emotional State: Determined, paternal (if family exists) **Family Mechanic:** - Wife NPC: Provides home base, cooking, emotional support - Child NPC (Age 5-10): Follows Kai on easier missions, learns survival - **Story Note:** Family does NOT end Ana search quest - Dialog: "My children deserve to know their aunt Ana is alive." #### **3. ELDER KAI (Year 16+)** **Visual Design:** - Grey dreadlocks (dignified silver/white) - ALL piercings STILL present (never removed!) - Clothing: Worn leather jacket, patched clothes - Build: Still strong but slower - Facial: Full grey beard - Possible grandchildren sprites **Sprite Requirements:** - Grey/white hair textures - Weathered face (scars, wrinkles) - Slower but powerful animations - Grandchildren companion sprites **Stats:** - Movement Speed: 80% base (slower but wiser) - Stamina: 80% (conserves energy) - Health: 200 HP (resilient veteran) - Wisdom Stat: +50% (better crafting, negotiation) - Emotional State: Wise, reflective, still searching **Grandchildren Mechanic:** - Teen/Young Adult NPCs (Age 16-20) - Can fully participate in combat and quests - **Major Quest:** "Grandpa's Promise" - Help finish Ana search - Dialog: "Grandpa never gave up. Neither will we." --- ### **Ana Age Stages:** #### **1. YOUNG ANA (When Found - Captive)** **Visual Design:** - Lab coat over prisoner clothes - Short practical hair (cut during captivity) - Pale skin (no sunlight) - Scientist appearance - Exhausted but intelligent eyes #### **2. RECOVERED ANA (Post-Rescue)** **Visual Design:** - Twin matching with Kai's current age - If Kai is elder, Ana also shows grey hair - Lab coat remains (scientist identity) - Healthier appearance after recovery **Story Sync:** - Ana ages to match Kai's current stage when found - If Kai is Old, Ana is also Old when rescued - Emotional reunion regardless of age - "I never stopped working on the cure, sister." --- ### **Aging Triggers:** **Time-Based:** - Every in-game year = visual age check - Smooth transition (no sudden changes) - Gradual sprite replacement **Story-Based:** - Major quest completions can trigger age jumps - "10 years later..." time skips for dramatic effect - Player choice: "Continue searching?" or "Build a family first?" **Mechanical:** ```javascript class AgingSystem { constructor() { this.kaiAge = 25; // Starting age this.currentStage = 'young'; // young/adult/elder this.yearsSearching = 0; this.hasFamily = false; this.children = []; } updateAge(years) { this.kaiAge += years; this.yearsSearching += years; if (this.kaiAge >= 40) { this.transitionToElder(); } else if (this.kaiAge >= 30) { this.transitionToAdult(); } } transitionToAdult() { // Load adult sprite set // Update stats // Check for family formation // Show "Years have passed..." cutscene } checkFamilyFormation() { // Player choice dialog // If yes: wife NPC + child system // If no: continue solo (faster progress) // Either way: Ana search continues! } } ``` --- ## ๐ŸŽฌ SYSTEM 2: INTRO VIDEO & FLASHBACK EXPANSION ### **Concept:** Emotional intro sequence showing Kai's happy memories, the zombie apocalypse, and his aging journey searching for Ana. Uses blur-to-clear effects for emphasis on beautiful moments. ### **Intro Sequence Structure:** #### **SCENE 1: HAPPY MEMORIES (Blurred โ†’ Clear)** **Shot 1: Longboard with Father** - **Start:** Heavily blurred (dreamlike) - **Clear Moment:** Father's hand on young Kai's shoulder, "Pojdi, sin!"
