+
+## 🎯 Session Update: Asset Organization & Biome Systems
+
+### ✅ **COMPLETED TODAY:**
+
+**1. Character Master References**:
+- Created `konsistentno/` folder
+- 6 master references (Kai, Ana, Gronk × 2 styles)
+- Cleaned 290 old inconsistent sprites
+
+**2. Biome Structure**:
+- 18 biomes × 10 subfolders = 180 folders
+- Complete manifest: 2,700-3,600 total assets planned
+
+**3. Map Structure**:
+- 31 map locations created
+- Farms, resources, story, special zones
+
+**4. New Asset Categories**:
+- rudniki/ - mining resources
+- vozila/ - vehicles  
+- hisne_zivali/ - farm animals
+
+**5. Food Drop System** 🍖:
+- **Implemented**: Kill creature → Drop raw meat → Cook → Eat
+- **Example** (Dino Valley):
+  - T-Rex drops Raw T-Rex meat
+  - Cook on campfire → Cooked T-Rex steak
+  - 7 dino types = 7 unique food items
+- **Applies to ALL biomes** with fauna
+
+---
+
+## 🍖 FOOD DROP SYSTEM DESIGN:
+
+### **Mechanic**:
+```
+1. Player kills creature
+2. Creature drops raw meat (unique per species)
+3. Player collects raw meat
+4. Player places meat on campfire/cooking station
+5. Wait 10-30 seconds (cooking timer)
+6. Collect cooked meat
+7. Eat to restore health/hunger
+```
+
+### **Benefits**:
+- **Survival gameplay** - hunt for food
+- **Crafting depth** - cook for better stats
+- **Unique per biome** - different creatures = different food
+- **Progression** - better creatures = better food
+
+### **Implementation per Biome**:
+- Each fauna species drops specific raw meat
+- Cooked version has better stats (more health/hunger restore)
+- Some special ingredients for advanced recipes
+
+---
+
+## 📊 CURRENT PROJECT STATS:
+
+- **Total Folders**: ~253
+- **Total PNG**: 848
+- **Biomes**: 18 (complete structure)
+- **Maps**: 31 locations
+- **Asset Categories**: 21
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 NEXT STEPS:
+
+1. ✅ Update all biomes with food drop systems
+2. Generate biome-specific assets (when quota resets)
+3. Character animations (manual or API)
+4. Map creation in Tiled
+
+---
+
+**Status**: On track for full production 🎮
+**Next Session**: 1.1.2026 (API quota reset)
