🧟 KRVAVA ŽETEV - GAME DESIGN DOCUMENT

Genre: Post-Apocalyptic Farm/Life-Sim RPG
Style: 2.5D Isometric (Stardew Valley meets Graveyard Keeper)
Platform: PC (Windows/Mac/Linux), Mobile (future)

🎮 CORE CONCEPT:

🎨 ART STYLE: 2.5D ISOMETRIC

Izbira Perspektive:

2.5D Isometric (PRIPOROČENO)

✅ Similar to: Stardew Valley, Graveyard Keeper
✅ Allows depth (zombies walking behind objects)
✅ Easier to implement farming (tile-based)
✅ Proven successful in farm sims
✅ Perfect for procedural world generation

Alternative (Pure 2D Side-Scrolling):

⚠️ Harder to show farm layout
⚠️ Less suitable for top-down farming
