🔧 TEHNIČNI PREGLED - LAUNCHER & SISTEMI

Date: January 10, 2026 23:06 CET
Purpose: Complete technical review of all game systems
Status: Pre-Launch Technical Verification

📊 SYSTEM STATUS OVERVIEW

System Status Implementation Ready
Save/Load ⚠️ Needs Path Config SaveLoadSystem.js 90%
Audio ✅ Complete AudioManager.js 100%
Copyright ✅ Compliant CREDITS.txt 100%
Economy ✅ Configured Game Bible 100%
Accessibility ⚠️ Planned Not Implemented 0%
Gamepad ✅ Complete GamepadController.js 100%
VIP Manager ✅ Complete VIPManager.js 100%
Companions ✅ Complete Gronk + Susi 100%

💾 1. SAVE/LOAD SYSTEM

FILE LOCATION: src/systems/SaveLoadSystem.js

STATUS: ⚠️ 90% Complete - Path Configuration Needed

What Works:

  • ✅ Save file structure defined
  • ✅ Auto-save timer (5 minutes)
  • ✅ Export/import functionality
  • ✅ Aging progression tracking
  • ✅ LocalStorage persistence

What Needs Fixing:

ISSUE: Save file path not configured for Mac

Current Implementation:

saveKey = 'mrtva_dolina_save'
localStorage.setItem(this.saveKey, JSON.stringify(this.currentSave));

Where It Saves:

  • Browser Version: LocalStorage (automatic)
  • Electron Version: User data directory (automatic)

Mac Path (Electron):

/Users/[YourUsername]/Library/Application Support/mrtva-dolina/save_data.json

SOLUTION NEEDED:

Option 1: Use Electron's Built-in Path (Recommended)

// In main.js or GlobalState.js
const { app } = require('electron');
const path = require('path');
const fs = require('fs');

const userDataPath = app.getPath('userData');
const savePath = path.join(userDataPath, 'save_data.json');

// Read/Write
fs.writeFileSync(savePath, JSON.stringify(saveData));
const loadedData = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(savePath));

Option 2: Use LocalStorage (Current - Works!)

// Already implemented in SaveLoadSystem.js
// Works for web version
// Electron wraps this automatically

CONSOLE ERRORS TO CHECK:

If you see:

ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND: save_data.json

Fix:

  1. Open src/main.js (Electron entry point)
  2. Add save path configuration:
const savePath = path.join(app.getPath('userData'), 'save_data.json');
global.savePath = savePath; // Make available globally
  1. Update SaveLoadSystem.js to use this path if Electron

CURRENT WORKAROUND: LocalStorage works perfectly! No changes needed for demo launch.

For Electron Desktop:

// Check if running in Electron
if (typeof require !== 'undefined') {
    const electron = require('electron');
    const remote = electron.remote || electron;
    const app = remote.app;
    this.savePath = path.join(app.getPath('userData'), 'save_data.json');
}

💰 3. ECONOMY & PROGRESSION

SOURCE: GAME_BIBLE_COMPLETE_v2.md

STATUS: ✅ 100% Configured

Starting Capital Strategy:

Demo Trial Mode:

economy: {
    money: 0,
    cannabis_seeds: 5, // 💰 STARTING CAPITAL!
    cannabis_harvested: 0,
    total_earnings: 0
}

Cannabis Economy:

  • Starting Seeds: 3-5 (in starter chest)
  • Growth Time: 3-4 in-game days
  • Sale Price: 50-100 coins per harvest
  • Strategy: Fastest path to wealth in demo!

Economic Loop:

Day 1: Plant 5 cannabis seeds
Day 4: Harvest → Sell for ~500 coins
Day 4: Buy 10 more seeds (reinvest)
Day 8: Harvest → Sell for ~1000 coins
Day 12: ~2000 coins saved
...
By Full Game Unlock: 5,000+ coins ready! 💎

Progression Tiers:

Demo (Free):

  • 2 crops (Wheat + Carrot)
  • Wooden tools only
  • Cannabis farming allowed! 🌿
  • Can sell to 1 vendor
  • Save carries over! ✅

Faza 1 ($14.99):

  • 80 crops unlocked
  • All tool tiers (Wood → Diamond)
  • Full exploration
  • All vendors

Faza 2 ($24.99):

  • 18 biomes
  • All content
  • Multiplayer co-op

Why This Works:

  • Players invested in demo (farmed wealth)
  • Smooth transition to full game (keep progress!)
  • Cannabis = memorable hook (edgy marketing)
  • High retention (don't want to lose progress)

Electron Integration

Current Status: ⚠️ Needs Configuration

main.js Requirements:

const { app, BrowserWindow } = require('electron');
const path = require('path');

let mainWindow;

function createWindow() {
    mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
        width: 1280,
        height: 720,
        webPreferences: {
            nodeIntegration: true,
            contextIsolation: false
        },
        icon: path.join(__dirname, 'assets/icon.png')
    });
    
    mainWindow.loadFile('index.html');
    
    // Set save path
    global.savePath = path.join(app.getPath('userData'), 'save_data.json');
}

app.whenReady().then(createWindow);

Save Path Setup:

// In SaveLoadSystem.js
loadElectronPath() {
    if (typeof require !== 'undefined') {
        try {
            const remote = require('electron').remote;
            this.electronSavePath = remote.getGlobal('savePath');
            console.log('📂 Electron save path:', this.electronSavePath);
        } catch (e) {
            console.log('🌐 Running in browser mode');
        }
    }
}
