📌 Vision Quest Development Roadmap

🔷 PHASE 1: Build the Scene Template

This phase ensures you have a fully functional, well-organized scene that can be easily duplicated and modified for all 10 interactions.

✅ 1. Break Up & Organize the Current Scene File

• Separate assets into structured files (backgrounds, platforms, characters, interaction objects, etc.).
• Standardize layer names & structure for easy duplication.
• Ensure code readability & reusability for future expansion.

✅ 2. Implement a Scene Manager System

• Create a scene template that loads:
  • Background (dynamic per scene)
  • Platform (adjustable height)
  • Traveler & Wolf (preloaded and positioned)
  • Interaction Objects (Shaman, Totems, etc.) if present
• Add a fade-to-black transition between scenes.
• Implement empty background-only walking sections between interactions.

✅ 3. Add Basic UI for Conversation System

• Simple text box overlay (bottom of the screen for now).
• Basic "Press X to Interact" prompt.
• Placeholder UI for dialogue text (we can refine with Claude later).
• Hardcode a test conversation with dummy text.

🔷 PHASE 2: Expand to 10 Interactions

Once the template is solid, duplicate it and customize each scene.

✅ 4. Implement the Shaman & Other Interaction Objects
