🎯 NEXT PRIORITIES

High Priority (Demo Critical):

  1. 2 Remaining Buildings (identify which ones)
  2. 4 Quest Implementations (code integration)
  3. 9 Game Systems (from 19 total)
  4. Integration Testing (all systems working together)

  2. Additional NPC animations (Arborist, Teacher, Pravnik)
  3. Status Board UI
  4. Quest Tracking UI

Low Priority (Post-Demo):

  3. Town Variations (Forest, Desert, Frozen)

🐛 BLOCKERS & ISSUES

Resolved:

  • Style consistency (corrected strawberries/onions to Style 32)
  • Asset organization (proper folder structure)
  • Git commits (all successful)

Active:

  • None

💡 LEARNINGS & NOTES

  1. Style 32 Universal - ALL assets use Cult of the Lamb aesthetic (not just characters)
  2. Reference-First Workflow - Always check /references/ before generating NPCs
  3. Massive Batching - Parallel generation saves significant time
  4. Modular Systems - Each system is independent and easily integrated
  5. EXTREMIST Standard - No "normal" NPCs allowed (post-apo punk aesthetic mandatory)
