# DEVLOG - 2026-01-27

**Time**: 08:46:12
**Session Goal**: Terrain Setup, Atmospheric Layering, and Basic Interaction (Mowing/Camping).

## Achievements

### 1. Asset Organization & Generation
- Created structured folders: `assets/tiles`, `assets/environment`, `assets/vegetation`, `assets/items`.
- Organized existing assets from `DEMO_FAZA1`.
- Generated placeholders for missing environment textures (`cesta_svetla.png`, `voda_umazana.png`).
- Generated camp items: `campfire.png` (Animated visual style), `sleeping_bag.png`.
- Created variations of grass (`trava_zelena`, `trava_suha`, `trava_divja`) for organic variety.

### 2. Terrain System ("Sandwich Layering")
Implemented a robust depth-handling system in `GrassScene_Clean.js`:
- **Layer -100**: Base Ground (`trava_osnova` at Scale 0.15) for a massive, spacious world feel.
- **Layer -50**: "Decals" (Path, Mud, Ponds). Used `BlendModes.MULTIPLY` and `setAlpha(0.8)` for mud and paths to naturally blend with the grass texture beneath.
- **Dynamic Layer**: Trees, Kai, and Grass Tufts are strictly Y-Sorted (`depth = y`) for correct occlusion.

### 3. Atmospheric Polish
- **Winding Path**: Replaced linear paths with a procedural Spline curve generation for organic dirt roads.
- **Edge Integration**: Programmatically placed small grass tufts along path edges and pond shores to hide sharp texture transitions.
- **Amnesia Intro**: Implemented a cinematic start with heavy blur and a Typewriter effect text ("Kje sta starša...?").

### 4. Gameplay Mechanics
- **Interaction System**:
  - **Movement**: Standard arrow keys.
  - **Mowing (SPACE)**: Player can clear specific 'wild' grass tufts to make space. Includes visual "cut" tween.
  - **Camp Placement (C / V)**:
    - **C**: Place Campfire.
    - **V**: Place Sleeping Bag.
    - **Validation**: Prevents placement on water, mud, trees, or un-mowed grass. Providing visual feedback (Shake + Text) if placement fails.
- **Sinking Effect**: Kai visually sinks (Origin Shift 0.9 -> 0.8) and tints darker when walking through mud or water.

## Current State
The "Probna Farma" scene is now a fully interactive, atmospheric prototype ready for the Kickstarter demo showcase. The world feels alive, organic, and responsive.

# DEVLOG - 2026-01-28

**Time**: 07:44:02
**Session Goal**: Asset Generation, Clean Slate, UI & Camp Setup.

## Achievements

### 1. Scene Reset
- Cleaned  to a minimal robust state (Z-0 Ground + Player only).
- Verified ,  structure for Defold integration.

### 2. AI Asset Generation (Survival Style)
- Generated fresh, unified assets based on user references:
  - **Campfire**: Simple stone ring, minimalist.
  - **Tent**: Blue dome, survival/worn aesthetic.
  - **Sleeping Bag**: Brown/patched survival gear.
  - **UI**: Health Bar (Rust+Liquid), Inventory Slot (Wood), Action Button, Dialog Panel.

### 3. Automated Processing Pipeline
- Created scripts to detect, crop, remove magenta background, and deploy generated assets.
- Synced assets to multiple locations for compatibility:
  - 
  -  & 
  - 

## Next Steps
- Finalize Health Bar design (Face icons vs Liquid).
- Implement Camp and UI into the new Defold .

## Achievements

### 1. Scene Reset

- Verified `main.atlas`, `main.collection` structure for Defold integration.

### 2. AI Asset Generation (Survival Style)

### 3. Automated Processing Pipeline
- Created scripts to detect, crop, remove magenta background, and deploy generated assets.
- Synced assets to multiple locations for compatibility:
  - `repos/novafarma/main/assets`
  - `repos/novafarma/assets/DEMO_FAZA1/Environment` & `UI`
  - `nova farma/main/assets`

## Next Steps
- Finalize Health Bar design (Face icons vs Liquid).
- Implement Camp and UI into the new Defold `main.collection`.

# DEVLOG - 2026-01-28 (Evening Session)

**Time**: 23:45:00
**Session Goal**: Stream asset integration, Player animation, and Environmental Polish.

## Achievements

### 1. Animated Character (Kai)
- Replaced the static character sprite with a full **256x256 Sprite Sheet**.
- Implemented **4-Directional Movement Animation** (Walk Up, Down, Left, Right).
- Adjusted physics bounding box and offsets to match the new 160px height scale.

### 2. Stream Integration (The "Dirty Canal")
- **Asset Processing**:
    - Processed `stream_pipe.png` from source reference.
    - **Advanced Cleaning**: Used GrabCut and custom masking (`clean_pipe_stream_gentle.py`) to remove the background while preserving internal details (muddy banks).
    - **"Burying" Technique**: Algorithmically removed the outer isometric walls so the stream sits flat on the terrain surface, eliminating the "floating wall" effect.
    - **Drain Hole Fix**: Ensured the pipe's drain grate is opaque and dark, preventing grass from showing through.
- **Scene Implementation**:
    - Placed the stream as a static physics object.
    - Added **Collision Detection** between Kai and the Stream (player stops at water's edge).
    - Experimented with modular slicing (Head/Body) but reverted to a single robust asset to insure stability for the demo.

### 3. Scene Organization
- **Camp Restoration**: Restored the Tent, Campfire, and Sleeping bag placement with proper Z-sorting/Depth.
- **Bug Fixes**: Resolved a critical crash caused by adding collision before the player object was instantiated.

## Current State
- Kai walks with animation.
- A "dirty pipe stream" flows out of a grate, properly integrated into the ground (no visible outer walls).
- Player interacts with the environment (collides with water).
