## 🎨 WHY MANUAL FOR MAIN CHARACTERS?
|
|
|
|
1. **Highest Visual Importance** - Players see these characters constantly
|
|
2. **Need Perfect Consistency** - Animation frames must flow smoothly
|
|
3. **Character Personality** - Subtle expressions and poses matter most
|
|
4. **Reference Control** - User has specific vision for Kai, Ana, Gronk
|
|
5. **Quality Over Speed** - Worth taking extra time for perfection
|
|
|
|
**This is the right decision!** ✅

## 📝 PRODUCTION STRATEGY
|
|
|
|
**Automated Generator:**
|
|
- Background characters (NPCs, enemies, creatures)
|
|
- Environmental assets (plants, props, items)
|
|
- Large-scale asset batches (biomes, effects)
|
|
|
|
**Manual Creation:**
|
|
- Main playable characters
|
|
- Critical story NPCs (if needed)
|
|
- Special boss characters (optional)
|
|
- Hero assets that define the game's identity
