🐛 KNOWN ISSUES & FIXES

Fixed:

  1. CollectionSystem sound error (playSuccess is not a function)
  2. NPC scale inconsistencies
  3. Settings menu visibility
  4. Language selector UI/UX

Known Issues:

  1. ⚠️ NPC AI sprite transparency (checkerboard pattern) - Low priority
  2. ⚠️ Steam integration requires Greenworks SDK for production

📋 NEXT STEPS

Immediate (Ready to Implement):

  1. Integration Testing - Test all new systems together
  2. UI Polish - Rustic/Post-apo theme for remaining UI
  3. Trailer Tools - Smooth camera movement scripting
  4. Save/Load System - Integrate with Steam cloud saves

Future Features:

  1. Seasonal Crops - Extend perennial system to wheat/corn
  2. More Mounts - Implement horse properly
  3. Achievement Triggers - Wire up gameplay events to Steam achievements
  4. Volume Controls - Implement sound settings UI

💡 DESIGN DECISIONS

  1. Localization Architecture: Embedded translations vs external JSON files

    • Chose embedded for simplicity and instant loading
    • Can be externalized later if needed
  2. Mount System: Inventory-based vs NPC-based

    • Chose NPC-based for better world interaction
    • Allows for mount status (health, stamina in future)
  3. Steam Integration: Mock vs Direct SDK

    • Implemented mock system for development
    • Easy to swap to real Greenworks when publishing
  4. Main Menu: Scrolling intro vs Static menu

    • Changed to static for better UX
    • Intro can be triggered separately (cutscene)
