+Place your location and interactable images in this directory.

+
+## Supported Formats
+- PNG, JPG, JPEG
+- Recommended size: 800x600 or similar aspect ratio

+
+## Example Files
+To use images, add them to the appropriate folder and reference them in `data/world_loader.py`:
+
+```python
+location = Location(
+    id="start_point",
+    name="Ruined Downtown Core",
+    description="...",
