Master Game Bible - Nova Farma

1. Game Overview

Title: Nova Farma
Genre: Survival / Farming Simulation / Isometric RPG
Platform: Desktop (Electron/Phaser 3)
Visual Style: Pixel Art (Isometric/Top-Down Hybrid)

2. Core World System: The Island

The game world has been refactored from a continuous map to an Island System.

• Playable Area: A central island (20x20 tiles) defined by coordinate bounds.
• Boundaries: Hard collision limits prevent the player from walking off into the ocean.
• Ocean:
  • Code-drawn deep blue rectangle (0x004488) surrounds the island.
  • No external image assets are used for the water background to keep it clean and procedural.
• Elevation:
  • A visual "cliff" effect is created using a dark brown (0x5C4033) tileSprite (ground_base) shifted 15px down.
  • A shadow rectangle (0x000000, alpha 0.3) simulates height above the water.

3. Characters

• Kai: Main protagonist. Uses a spritesheet for animations.
• Gronk: Secondary character/NPC. Uses a dedicated spritesheet.

4. UI & UX

• HUD:
  • Health Bar (Top Left)
  • Weather Widget (Top Right)
  • Minimap (Bottom Right)
  • Hotbar (Bottom Center)
• Visibility: All UI elements have increased padding (60px) and scale (1.0) for better readability on desktop screens.

5. Technical Stack

• Engine: Phaser 3
• Wrapper: Electron (v28.3.3)
• Build System: electron-builder
• Critical Configurations:
  • disableHardwareAcceleration: Enabled to prevent black screen issues on macOS.
  • no-sandbox & disable-gpu: Added for stability.
  • asar: false: Disabled to prevent file loading issues with local assets.
  • File Loading: Uses file:// protocol with absolute paths in electron-main.cjs.

6. Asset Management

• Vegetation: Realistic trees and dense grass have been disabled/removed per "Clean Slate" approach.
• Water: Ponds and puddles removed. Only the surrounding ocean exists.
• Ground: Uses ground_base (dirt/grass hybrid) as the primary floor tile.

7. Future Expansion (Planned)

• Bridge Hook: Coordinates reserved on the right edge of the island for a future bridge to "The City" or other islands.
• Interaction: "Look at Ocean" idle animation to be implemented when approaching the edge.
