🚀 NEXT SESSION PRIORITIES
Immediate (Faza 1 completion):
- Generate remaining NPC 8-direction sprites:
- Šivilja (colored hair, piercings, tailor aesthetic)
- Remaining building sprites (Museum stages, etc.)
- Integrate all systems into main game scene
- Test audio systems with actual game flow
- Generate VFX sprites for drug effects
Short-term:
- Create NPC portrait sprites for dialogue system
- Implement quest UI to display active courier deliveries
- Test zombie worker animations
- Polish visual effects for mushroom hallucinations
💡 LESSONS LEARNED
- EXTREMIST standard works: Post-apo needs clear punk visual language
- System integration is key: Each new system connects to 2-3 others
- Audio layering adds depth: Multiple sound sources create immersion
- 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)
Session Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) - Extremely productive!
Code Quality: All systems fully documented, integration-ready
Morale: High - Project momentum strong! 🚀
Next Session: Continue Faza 1 asset generation (sprites, buildings, VFX)
ETA to Kickstarter Demo: ~7-10 days at current pace
