💡 KEY INSIGHTS & DECISIONS

1. AI "NOIR" EFFECT IMPLEMENTATION:

Decision: Animals have glowing eyes that become visible in darkness

• Eyes glow neon pink/green
• Body becomes semi-transparent when flashlight hits
• Creates "eyes in the forest" horror atmosphere
• Ties into game's dark gothic theme

2. TOOL TIER VISUAL LANGUAGE:

Decision: Clear color progression for upgrade clarity

• Wood: Natural brown (starting)
• Stone: Grey (early upgrade)
• Iron: Dark blue-black (mid-game)
• Steel: Bright silver (premium)
• Always same skull handle for brand consistency

3. BUILDING RESTORATION STORYTELLING:

Decision: 5-stage progression for all restorable buildings

• Stage 1: Total ruin (gameplay challenge established)
• Stage 2: Foundation (player investment visible)
• Stage 3: Walls up (progress milestone)
• Stage 4: Functional (usable but plain)
• Stage 5: Premium (reward for full completion)

4. ANIMAL ANIMATION APPROACH:

Decision: 3 core animations + 1 unique per species

• Walk/Hop (movement)
• Eat (resource interaction)
• Unique action (species identity: milk, dig, shear, spit, etc.)
• Idle already existed from previous session

5. INFRASTRUCTURE MODULARITY:

Decision: Irrigation system as tileable components

• Allows player creativity in layout
• Gothic aesthetic maintained
• Water visibility for clarity
• Pump station as anchor building

---

🐛 ISSUES ENCOUNTERED & RESOLVED

Issue 1: Style Consistency Initial Failure

Problem: First animal animation attempts didn't match idle sprites Solution: Added ImagePaths parameter with idle sprite as reference Result: Perfect style matching achieved

Issue 2: Tool Organization Confusion

Problem: Existing basic tools scattered across folders Solution: Created tier-based folder structure, organized all existing Result: Clean 4-tier progression, 26 tools total

Issue 3: Files Outside References

Problem: VFX, intro, and interior assets in wrong folders Solution: Created proper reference structure, moved all files Result: 100% asset organization in /references/

---

• Create base maps for each area
• Implement in-game after Faza 2 buildings done

NPC Generation Schedule:

• Week 5 of Faza 2 production
• 8 primary NPCs × 11 sprites each
• Gronk already designed, just needs organization

🎯 PERSONAL REFLECTIONS

What Went Exceptionally Well:

1. Reference-based generation solved style consistency completely
2. Batch animal generation (3 batches of 3 animals) was efficient
3. Tool tier system came together beautifully with clear progression
4. Faza 2 kickoff exceeded plan (10 sprites vs 5 planned)
5. Documentation quality - comprehensive plans for future work

What Could Be Improved:

1. Could have planned infrastructure upfront (did it on-the-fly)
2. Could have organized existing files earlier (did at end)
3. Could have committed more frequently during animal batch

Key Learnings:

1. Always use ImagePaths for style consistency
2. Batch similar work (all animals, all tools per tier)
3. Document as you go (plans help focus work)
4. Organize immediately (don't let files pile up)

---
