RECOMMENDED APPROACH: 12-14 weeks instead of 22 weeks KEY SIMPLIFICATIONS: - Use JSON storage for game state (already in that format) - 3 database tables instead of 10+ - game_instances (with player_state JSONB) - scenarios (with scenario_data JSONB) - npc_scripts (Ink JSON) - 6 API endpoints instead of 15+ - Bootstrap game - Load room (when unlocked) - Attempt unlock - Update inventory - Load NPC script (on encounter) - Sync state (periodic) VALIDATION STRATEGY: - Validate unlock attempts (server has solutions) - Validate room/object access (check unlocked state) - Validate inventory changes (check item in unlocked location) - NPCs: Load Ink scripts on encounter, run conversations 100% client-side - NPC door unlocks: Simple check (encountered NPC + scenario permission) WHAT WE DON'T TRACK: - Every event (client-side only) - Every conversation turn (no sync needed) - Every minigame action (only result matters) - Complex NPC permissions (simple rule: encountered = trusted) BENEFITS: - Faster development (12-14 weeks vs 22 weeks) - Easier maintenance (JSON matches existing format) - Better performance (fewer queries, JSONB indexing) - More flexible (easy to modify game state structure) - Simpler logic (clear validation rules) Updated README_UPDATED.md to recommend simplified approach first. Complex approach documentation retained for reference.
