Scripting

• hard coded signals
  • use
  • approach

Gameplay

• hotkeys
• item identification
• cursed/blessed items
• (maybe?) character generation
• recipes

Logic

• query skill effectiveness
  • base skill effectiveness (no criticals or randomness)
• the consume use case for books and potions.
• temporary spell effects for wielded items,
  • multiple status effects on a single use, separate chargeflags, multiplier, duration and element.
  • make sure to use each for the right purpose
• Projectiles
  • improve ricochet, gravity related stuff is funky
• target types
  • cone
  • self-area/multi

GUI

• inventory
  • item examination
• status effects
• trade
• stats
• crafting
• journal
• newui variants

Recipes

• (maybe) allow in game apparatuses to act as a catalyst
  • (maybe) several catalysts and ingredients list? or just duplicate and alter the recipe?

AI

• queued prioritised actions
  • most important done first
  • multitasking
• waypoints
  • randomness
  • state - don't favour waypoints which are in use
• ai tags
  • identify purpose and effect of entities in game world for the AI

Cutscenes

• create a cutscene variant which can't be skippped
• some sort of skipping bar (1000 ms?) to prevent accidental skips
• refactor actions
  • HUD - draws images and text on screen
  • camera - moves the camera
  • transforms - manipulates the HUD (ie, offset over time)
  • modes - different interpolation modes, ie linear(default), sinusoidal, exponential

Renderer

• particles for active spell effects
• render attachments/equipment
• animations for weapons
  • generic animations, unarmed strike, melee strike, bow shoot, gun shoot, etc

Journal

• quests
• log entries
• sorting and filters

Sound

• sounds while charging spells
• sounds for projectile firing, travel and death
• sounds for active statusgroups
• (maybe) voiced dialogue

I/O

• save to temporary file and rename if rite is successful.
  • does not produce corrupt savegames if the process is interrupted.
• flat file export of current script/data definitions (maybe)
  • couple with ingame menus for realtime modification (maybe)

Particles

• set particle effects for entity afflicted status effects
• vary spawned amount of particles depending on distance (few when close, full amount when far away)
