💬 FINAL AGENT COMMAND (After Images Generated)

When all references are ready, use this command:

Agent, tukaj so Master Reference slike z našim DNK-jem. Zdaj ko imaš vizualno podlago, implementiraj:

Generation System: Pripravi tri sete spritov (Mladi Kai, Odrasli Kai, Starejši Kai). DNK (pink/green dredi, pirsingi) mora ostati identičen.

Generational Quest: Kai-jevo staranje naj bo vezano na napredek v zgodbi. Tudi ko je odrasel in ima otroke, mora biti primarni cilj iskanje Ane.

Ghost Logic: Starša uporabi kot referenco za prosojna duhova v Noir stilu (cyan/magenta neon), ki se pojavita po najdbi Ane.

Bonus System: Če je ID igralca med prvimi 20 ali 'Streamer', takoj dodaj Gronka kot pomočnika.

VSE mora biti v Style 32 Dark-Chibi Noir!
