👴 AGING SYSTEM (Kai Visual Transformation)

IMPORTANT: Aging is VISUAL SPOILER - NOT shown in intro!

How It Works:

Age Progression Tied To:

  • Quest progress (finding Ana's memories)
  • Time passed in-game
  • Story milestones reached

Visual Stages:

  1. Kai Age 14 (Start)

    • Current sprite: Green dreads, punk teen
    • Reference: kai/master_reference_nobg.png
  2. Kai Young Adult (~20) (Mid-game)

    • Longer dreads, more tattoos
    • Facial hair starts
    • Worn clothing
  3. Kai Adult (~30) (Late-game)

    • Full beard
    • More battle scars
    • Weathered appearance
  4. Kai Elder (~50+) (End-game?)

    • Gray dreads
    • Wise appearance
    • Still punk aesthetic

References:

  • ana/aging_timeline/ (Ana variants as visual guide)
  • Aging system reference images exist

Code Implementation:

// Conceptual - not yet in codebase
function updateKaiSprite(questProgress) {
  if (questProgress < 25%) {
    loadSprite('kai_age14');
  } else if (questProgress < 50%) {
    loadSprite('kai_age20');
  } else if (questProgress < 75%) {
    loadSprite('kai_age30');
  } else {
    loadSprite('kai_age50');
  }
}

Memory Link:

  • Each Ana memory found = Kai ages slightly
  • Represents psychological passage of time
  • Amnesia = stuck in mental loop until memories return

🛠️ CORE ENGINE STATUS

SAVE/LOAD SYSTEM

Current Status: ⚠️ NEEDS IMPLEMENTATION

Planned Features:

  • Save on farm progress, crop states, inventory
  • Save on quest completion, memories found
  • Save on aging state (which sprite version)
  • Auto-save every 5 minutes
  • Manual save at bed/checkpoint

What Needs Saving:

{
  player: {
    position: [x, y],
    age_stage: 1-4,
    inventory: [...items],
    tools: [...equipped],
    memories_found: 0-100,
    is_early_supporter: true/false
  },
  farm: {
    crops: [{type, stage, pos}, ...],
    buildings: [{type, pos}, ...],
    animals: [...]
  },
  progress: {
    quests_completed: [...],
    npcs_met: [...],
    biomes_unlocked: [...],
    ana_memories: [...],
    gronk_unlocked: true/false
  }
}

Implementation Priority: 🔴 HIGH (before demo launch!)

Storage:

  • LocalStorage (web version)
  • File system (Electron desktop version)
  • Steam Cloud (Steam release)

AGING ENGINE

Current Status: ⚠️ NEEDS IMPLEMENTATION

Planned Logic:

class AgingSystem {
  constructor() {
    this.currentAge = 14;
    this.ageStages = {
      14: 'kai_teen',
      20: 'kai_young',
      30: 'kai_adult',
      50: 'kai_elder'
    };
  }

  updateAge(memoriesFound) {
    // Age progresses with story
    if (memoriesFound > 75) {
      this.setAge(50);
    } else if (memoriesFound > 50) {
      this.setAge(30);
    } else if (memoriesFound > 25) {
      this.setAge(20);
    }
  }

  setAge(newAge) {
    this.currentAge = newAge;
    this.player.changeSprite(this.ageStages[newAge]);
    this.triggerAgingCutscene();
  }
}

Trigger Points:

  • Finding Ana's diary entries
  • Completing major quests
  • Discovering memory fragments
  • Boss defeats (each represents time passing)

Visual Transition:

  • Fade to black
  • Brief cutscene (mirror reflection?)
  • Show new aged sprite
  • Dialogue acknowledging time passage

Implementation Priority: 🟡 MEDIUM (Faza 1 enhancement)


AMNESIA SHADER LOGIC

Current Status: ⚠️ NEEDS IMPLEMENTATION

Planned Implementation:

Variables:

{
  is_confused: true/false,
  memory_loss: 0-100 (percentage),
  clarity_level: 0-100 (inverse of memory loss)
}

Visual Effects Based on Memory State:

High Amnesia (memory_loss > 75%):

  • Heavy blur on screen edges
  • Desaturated colors (grayscale filter)
  • Wobbly camera effect
  • NPCs appear as silhouettes
  • Quest markers hidden

Medium Amnesia (memory_loss 25-75%):

  • Light blur filter
  • Slightly muted colors
  • Occasional screen flash (confusion)
  • Some NPCs recognizable

Low Amnesia (memory_loss < 25%):

  • Clear vision
  • Full color
  • Normal gameplay

Trigger Example:

function applyAmnesiaShader() {
  if (player.memory_loss > 75) {
    camera.setPostPipeline('BlurShader', { strength: 5 });
    scene.setColorFilter(0.3); // Desaturate
  } else if (player.memory_loss > 25) {
    camera.setPostPipeline('BlurShader', { strength: 2 });
  } else {
    camera.clearPostPipeline();
  }
}

Memory Recovery:

  • Finding Ana's items = reduces memory_loss
  • Reading diary = +10% clarity
  • Visiting childhood locations = flashback + clarity boost

Implementation Priority: 🟡 MEDIUM (Faza 1 polish)


EARLY SUPPORTER LOGIC

Current Status: ⚠️ PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED

Where It Should Be:

Main Check Location:

// GameScene.js or PlayerData.js
class PlayerData {
  checkEarlySupporter() {
    // Check purchase order via API
    const orderNumber = SteamAPI.getPurchaseOrder();
    
    if (orderNumber <= 20) {
      this.is_early_supporter = true;
      this.unlockGronk();
      this.grantFounderBadge();
      console.log('🏆 EARLY SUPPORTER DETECTED!');
    } else {
      this.is_early_supporter = false;
      this.lockGronk();
    }
  }
  
  unlockGronk() {
    // Make Gronk available in game
    this.companions.push('gronk');
    this.showNotification('Gronk Unlocked!');
  }
}

Visual Indicators:

  • Menu shows "Founder" badge next to name
  • Gronk appears in companion menu
  • Exclusive quest markers visible
  • Credits show player name

Where to Add:

  • 📍 src/scenes/GameScene.js (on game start)
  • 📍 src/systems/PlayerData.js (persistent flag)
  • 📍 src/ui/MainMenu.js (show founder badge)

Storage:

localStorage.setItem('is_early_supporter', 'true');

Implementation Priority: 🔴 HIGH (before launch! This is marketing critical!)


SCENE CONTROLLER

Current Status: IMPLEMENTED

Scene Flow:

SplashScene (Logo)
    ↓
IntroScene (60s Epic Cinematic) ✅
    ↓
StoryScene (Main Menu) ✅
    ↓ (player clicks "New Game")
GameScene (Actual Gameplay)

Code Verification:

IntroScene.js (Line 416):

this.scene.start('StoryScene'); // Main Menu ✅

Confirmed: Intro goes to main menu, NOT directly to game!

Scene List:

  • SplashScene.js
  • IntroScene.js (EPIC 60s version)
  • UltimatePrologueScene.js (Alternative longer version)
  • StoryScene.js (Main Menu)
  • GameScene.js (Core gameplay)
  • TestVisualAudioScene.js (Dev testing)

Scene Transitions:

  • Fade to black (1000ms)
  • Camera fade effects
  • Audio crossfade

Implementation Status: COMPLETE


RESOLUTION & RATIO

Current Status: IMPLEMENTED

Game Resolution:

  • Target: 16:9 aspect ratio
  • Base Resolution: 1280x720 (scales up/down)
  • Tested: Works on multiple screen sizes

    height: 720
  }
}

Polaroid Frame Centering:

IntroScene Implementation:

// Polaroid always centered regardless of screen size
const width = this.cameras.main.width;
const height = this.cameras.main.height;

photo.setPosition(width / 2, height / 2 - 30); 
frame.setPosition(width / 2, height / 2 - 30); 

Responsive Features:

  • Polaroid frames auto-center
  • Subtitles at bottom (height - 100px)
  • UI scales proportionally
  • Works on ultrawide (16:9 maintained with black bars)
  • Works on 4:3 (scales to fit)

Testing:

  • 1920x1080 (Full HD)
  • 2560x1440 (2K)

🎮 GAMEPLAY SYSTEMS STATUS

System Status Priority
Intro Sequence 100% Complete
Character Sprites 100% Complete
Farming Mechanics ⚠️ 60% High
Save/Load 0% Critical
Aging System 0% Medium
Amnesia Shaders 0% Medium
Early Supporter ⚠️ 20% Critical
Combat ⚠️ 40% High
Building ⚠️ 30% Medium
Quest System ⚠️ 50% High
Map/Tiled 0% CRITICAL NEXT!

💡 AGENT MEMORY CONFIDENCE

What I'm 100% Sure About:

  • Kai has GREEN DREADS with PIERCINGS (ear gauges, eyebrow, nose)
  • Ana has MAGENTA HAIR and PURPLE SKIN (zombie-ish)
  • Gronk has VAPE (never forget this!)
  • Birthday line: "Here we were still happy"
  • Intro ends at StoryScene (NOT GameScene!)
  • Polaroid frames use crossfade (800ms, zero black!)
  • First 20 buyers get Gronk exclusive
  • Marijuana seeds in starting chest (economy strategy!)
  • All 34 animation frames are generated and saved
  • Cult of the Lamb style = smooth vectors, NO pixelation!

What Needs Verification Before Implementation:

  • ⚠️ Exact save data structure
  • ⚠️ Steam API integration for early supporter check
  • ⚠️ Final aging sprite progression (have references, not final)
  • ⚠️ Amnesia shader specific strength values

Critical Details I Will NOT Forget:

  • 🎯 Kai is 14 years old (NOT adult in intro!)
  • 🎯 Gronk vapes (signature trait!)
  • 🎯 "Here we were still happy" on birthday
  • 🎯 Ana screams "DON'T FORGET ME"
  • 🎯 Crossfade, not sequential fade!
  • 🎯 Cannabis = starting capital in demo!

🚀 NEXT IMMEDIATE STEPS

  1. Review this report - Confirm accuracy
  2. Start Tiled - Begin building farm map
  3. Implement Save/Load - Critical for demo
  4. Add Early Supporter Check - Before launch!
  5. Playtest Loop - Farm → Sell → Repeat

CURRENT FOCUS: 🗺️ TILED MAP BUILDING ← All assets ready, START NOW!
